Endless testing loop when using --watch and --coverage together.

[jcowgar]

It's just a guess, but I'm assuming that once the tests are complete, writing the coverage files causes a file system change and jest starts the test cycle over again. So, in the end, you run with these parameters, change some of your code, save, then jest tests, writes coverage, tests, writes coverage, etc... and it never stops. You have to kill the process.

Fixed this by specifying:

{
  "jest": {
    "coverageDirectory": ".coverage/"
  }
}

in package.json

I have been trying to trace the infinite watch loop in the code without luck.

Fixed in #1515 and Jest 15 (released sometime this week).
