How to use the extension with CRA typescript project

[rickstaa]

I'm trying to use this extension with a CRA typescript project. I can run the tests, but I can not debug them. I think this is because CRA installs the jest binary inside the ./node_modules/react-scripts/node_modules/.bin path while the extension expects the binary on the ./node_modeuls/.bin path. I saw that in the getting started guide the following is stated:

Currently limited to Jest being available from the ./node_modules/.bin/jest path from the VS Code workspace directory. We are working to make this more flexible.

To my understanding, it is therefore not possible to point the extension to the correct Jest binary. I, therefore, tried installing Jest inside the node_modules folder, but the extension failed with a 1 exit code without writing anything to the Jest Test Explorer Log.

I can debug my tests using the vscode-jest extension, but I would like to use your extension since it is more lightweight. Therefore, I wondered if there is a way to debug CRA typescript tests using your extension or if #41 still needs to be completed to support this (see #40 (comment)).

How to reproduce

1. Create a new CRA typescript project according to https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-typescript.
2. Try to debug the App.test.tsx test.
3. See the following vscode error:

4. Try to install jest directly in the top node_modules folder.
5. See that the extension now runs but exists with a 1 exit code.
