An npm error occurred while running `npm run unit -- --coverage=false`, but running `node_modules/.bin/jest --config test/unit/jest.conf.js` was normal

Add an assertion failure expect(false).toBe(true) to test/unit/specs/HelloWorld.spec.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import HelloWorld from '@/components/HelloWorld'

describe('HelloWorld.vue', () => {
  it('should render correct contents', () => {
    const Constructor = Vue.extend(HelloWorld)
    const vm = new Constructor().$mount()
    expect(vm.$el.querySelector('.hello h1').textContent)
    .toEqual('Welcome to Your Vue.js App')

    expect(false).toBe(true) // for test
  })
})

Run command npm run unit -- --coverage=false Output

> cp1@1.0.0 unit /xxx/cp1
> jest --config test/unit/jest.conf.js --coverage "--coverage=false"

@ruanjf npm run unit --silent works just as well, any reason for specifying the coverage?

found the following neat trick for test scripts here:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest || exit 0",
   }
}

@therightstuff you suggestion actually fix the problem I encounter
