`jest <regexForTestFiles>` CLI not picking up tests

jest <regexForTestFiles> CLI not picking up tests.

Perhaps related to https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/5582

What is the current behavior?

Barebones demo repo: https://gitlab.com/MadLittleMods/jest-test-regex-issue-barebones-test-case1

Reproduction steps

1. Install jest@22.4.2
2. Save a file with some tests in some-test.js
3. jest some-test.js
4. Notice, No tests found

$ jest some-test.js
No tests found
In /jest-test-regex1
  3 files checked.
  testMatch: **/__tests__/**/*.js?(x),**/?(*.)(spec|test).js?(x) - 0 matches
  testPathIgnorePatterns: /node_modules/ - 3 matches
Pattern: some-test.js - 0 matches

What is the expected behavior?

The jest <regexForTestFiles> CLI syntax should match files regardless of testMatch config.

This previously worked with jest@22.3.0 but I am unable to downgrade successfully and confirm because it always installs jest-cli@22.4.2. Any tips? Related https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/405, https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/3391

This installs jest@22.3.0 and jest-cli@22.3.0 but throws other errors

$ npm install jest@22.3.0 && cd ./node_modules/jest && rm -rf ./node_modules/jest-cli && npm install jest-cli@22.3.0 && cd ../../

$ npm test

This comment explains it well,

For more context, we added support for this without an arg in #3882, and decided to roll back in #5544 and #5582, since we decided that Jest should never run tests that are excluded through the config

I was caught in the between rollout and rollback where this worked and all of the sudden didn’t work in a minor release.

Thanks for the extra info 🙂
