Ability to add folders to have jest ignore

See original GitHub issue

We currently have a couple of submodules that are outside of the src directory that we would like jest to ignore. The only way we’ve found to do this currently is to replace the test script with one of our own. While this isn’t a big deal, it would be nice to be able to ignore these directories within our package.json

Right, but why do you need to put normalised-test-data.js into __tests__? You can put it outside of the folder.

Hi i’m having a similar issue, I have fakers inside the __tests__ folder, I believe they belong there. It would be awesome to have a way to ignore a folder or files.

Right now I’m planning on solving this by moving them outside the __tests__ folder.

An easy approach could be ignoring files with a particular key. Like file.test.js but the opposite. Maybe something like myFile.ignore.test.js, or someone with more creativity can think of a better one.

Thanks a lot!
