How to execute jest tests in a particular folder

Question

I want the script command below to have something like where it should run tests in that folder name

"scripts": {
    "test": "jest --testPathPattern==tests/<folder-name> --maxWorkers=2"
  },

to run tests in a particular folder.

This command is executed in a bash file run-tests.sh as shown below

#!/bin/bash
npm run test

is it possible to have something like

#!/bin/bash
npm run test <folder-name>

According to the jest documentation you should be able to do this:

npm run test -- --testPathPattern==tests/<folder-name>

Alternatively something like this in your bash script should do the trick as well:

#!/bin/bash
pushd <directory here> # Basically cd into that directory
npm run test
popd # cd back into where we came from when we ran pushd

I think this will do what you are asking.
