-| jestrunner.jestPath | Absolute path to jest bin file (e.g. /usr/lib/node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js) |
-| jestrunner.debugOptions | Add or overwrite vscode debug configurations (only in debug mode) (e.g. `"jestrunner.debugOptions": { "args": ["--no-cache"] }`) |

-| jestrunner.disableCodeLens | Disable CodeLens feature |
-| jestrunner.codeLensSelector | CodeLens will be shown on files matching this pattern (default **/*.{test,spec}.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}) |
