v4.0 plan

Moving toward the next major (awesome) version:

enhancement

• better start-up setting config. This is one of the major pain points. Moving toward a more interactive/wizard-like interface to set up settings like jest.pathToConfig with users’ input. (#571, #244, #565, #556, #618 too many to list…) => #590 => #655
  • jest-community/jest-editor-support#44 - Rename pathToJest
  • added new jest setting jest.jestCommandLine into code base. (#644)
• better test matching logic: #484, #570, #491, #597, #648 => #593 (available alpha.0)
• fixed coverage issue
  • coverage map generation/merge issues (#559, #551, #524) and update really old 3rd party dependencies => #588 (available alpha.0)
  • formaters related issues: #411, #586, #585 => #635
• move test status indicators outside of the code, so it won’t interfere with formatting. (#554) => #599
• support parameterized tests (#427, #612) => #649
• support manual and enhanced watch mode (#613, #668, #119, #308, #176, #408, #530, #36, #574…) => #674

technical debt

• upgrade dependencies, for better security and maintainability. => #583 (available alpha.0)
• migrate from tslint to eslint => #583 (available alpha.0)
• adopt “;” 😃 => #583 (available alpha.0)
• better troubleshooting and help documentation/examples (#544) => #674, #655
• auto close staled issues/PR so we can better focus on the active ones.

release

suggestion and discussion are welcome

I am not sure if this is the correct threat to write this but I think as a feature request for v4 should be cool to have a list of the tests in with an icon in the left bar:

this bar:

with a list like the one webstorm generates:

where when someone double clicks on a test name, the cursor goes to that test (not just for failing tests).

v4.0.0-alpha.3 is released today. The main change is to support the parameterized tests. If your project uses parameterized tests, feel free to give this release a try.
