Tests outside of src folder shouldn't be run

See original GitHub issue

The README.md says: The .test.js / .spec.js files (or the __tests__ folders) can be located at any depth under the src top level folder.

However, if I create a .spec.js in a e2e folder at the root of the project, it is still executed by npm test

I guess that’s a bug. Right now I can workaround by overriding the testPathPattern parameter in my package.json: react-scripts test --env=jsdom --testPathPattern ./src\/.*

I’d like to place all test files outside of src. Do I need to eject?

Interesting, thanks for writing up. I probably forgot to limit this. Now that I think of it I think maybe we should allow them to be in top level src, test, tests and __tests__.
