From typeahead, you can see the pattern correctly filtered to a list of files.

Pattern Mode Usage

 › src/restapi/network/GlobalProtectPortals.multi.accept.ts
 › src/restapi/objects/GlobalProtectHipObjects.multi.accept.ts

I'm pretty sure it was working a while back, but I don't have the exact jest version. Something before 24.9.0

I was doing filtering like these daily.

Active Filters: filename /globalprotect\.\*multi/

From this printout, seems like the regex is being escaped.

Can reproduce:

in a repo with test files that include:

AutoComplete.spec.tsx
Popover.spec.tsx
PersonAutoComplete.spec.tsx

do:

1. jest --watch

2. hit p, then type pop|auto:

   

   you'll see the expected results.

3. hit enter to run tests

EXPECTED: tests run ACTUAL: get "no tests found" message:

Hi guys i think we can use jest-watch-typeahead

I'm facing the same issue. While I start to type a file pattern, regexp works correctly to find matching files but when I press enter to trigger test run then the regexp gets escaped and there are no matches.
