jest types are not recognized when in subfolder

Environment

1. node -v: 10.15.3

2. npm -v: 6.13.4

3. npm ls jest: 25.1.0

4. your vscode-jest settings if customized: “jest.pathToJest”: “frontend/node_modules/.bin/jest”, “jest.pathToConfig”: “frontend/jest.config.js”,

5. Operating system: MacOS Catalina

Prerequisite

• are you able to run jest test from command line? yes
• how do you run your tests from command line? yarn test

Relevant Debug Info

so i have a project splitted up in frontend and backend folder the frontend is a typescript with parcel to compile it to js and jest for testing. nothing fancy. the node_modules are also in the frontend folder

The Jest Runner works fine. but when i open the test.file i get this error “Cannot find name ‘test’. Do you need to install type definitions for a test runner? Try npm i @types/jest or npm i @types/mocha.ts(2582)” when i hover over “test” or “expect”

i installed the types. the file is colored red in the filetree.

i create a example repo (https://github.com/maxkarkowski/jest-vscode-test) with the vscode settings folder visible in it

Expected Behavior

vscode should find the types even if they are in a subfodler

Actual Behavior

test files are marked

Facing the same issue. Unit tests itself are working but intellisense isn’t.

Any suggestions?

Since this is not related to the extension, I will convert it to a discussion instead.
