I want to exclude a specific folder to be scanned for tests.

I have a folder structure like this:

/app
  /services
  /components
  /helper
  /...more folders
  

To run all test in app/services this works:

npx jest --testPathPattern=app/services

How to run all tests in app but not those in app/services?

I tried this:

jest --testPathPattern='^((?!app/services).)*$'

but it still tests the folder app/services
