Replacement for retired VS Code Jest codelens
1 project | dev.to | 30 Dec 2022

The Codelens provided by VS Code Jest extension on tests in the editor has been retired (hence this post on Jest CodeLens I wrote a while back is also outdated).
Test your React code with Jest directly with free VSCode extension: instant test feedback, real-time code coverage, problem inspector directly inside your editor. Writing tests is now much easier and enjoyable. Configuration in the comments.
