Remove obsolete snapshots

[rptrk]

Environment

1. node -v: v8.4.0

2. npm -v: 5.3.0

3. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): N/A

4. Operating system: macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.3

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a test file that contains a snapshot expectation
2. Add a snapshot expectation (this will get generated)
3. Remove snapshot expectation (this will not get removed)

Expected Behavior

Removal of snapshot expectation would remove obsolete snapshot (or a dialog would appear asking if I'd like to update my snapshots and remove obsolete)

Actual Behavior

Removal of snapshot expectation does not remove obsolete snapshot (or show a dialog asking if I'd like to update my snapshots and remove obsolete)

---

Am I misunderstood? It seems that if I add a new snapshot expectation, I will be prompted to update my snapshots and this will remove any obsolete; however, this is not an ideal workflow.

I started using this extension to replace the need to run my tests in the terminal, but it seems I may need to still do this in the case where I have obsolete snapshots.

Makes sense, want to try take a look at adding this?

I just run jest --updateSnapshot and that flag removes obsolete snapshots

When jest is running, you can press W, see the options, press U.

Watch Usage › Press u to update failing snapshots.

Or go to the snapshots folder in the same folder of your test and delete them.

This is not realy a solution no. The files still remain ...

This is a really old thread. Since v5.1, you should be able to run update snapshot (via test menu) to remove obsolete snapshots.

Close this as this feature is available now.
