[Feature Request] Support Monorepo single root workspace

[ciandt-crodrigues]

Environment

VSCode - Any version

Prerequisite

• are you able to run jest test from the command line? Yes, it runs on npm run test or npm run test:coverage
• how do you run your tests from the command line? (for example: npm run test or node_modules/.bin/jest) Yes, it runs on npm run test or npm run test:coverage

Expected Behavior

use the nearest configuration (parent packages.json , jest.config.ts) to run the tests

Actual Behavior

It requires multi root workspace to resolve the node_modules/.bin/jest and config

The fastest (and the most fun) way to resolve the issue is to submit a pull-request yourself. If you are interested, feel free to check out the contribution guide, we look forward to seeing your PR...

Hi, perfect timing. We just pre-released v6.0.0 with virtualFolders that specifically targeted these kinds of use cases. It doesn't go by the nearest jest config but require specific jest config called jest.virtualFolders, which not only enabled users to run multiple jest configs within the single root workspace, but also supported all jest settings for each virtualFolder, such as autoRun etc. Please feel free to give it a try: https://github.com/jest-community/vscode-jest/blob/master/release-notes/release-note-v6.md#v600-pre-release
