How to force exit after all tests are done with node test runner

I've tried to run Node.js tests and I expected my app to close itself when those are done, but instead the app continues to run.

I read about the --test-force-exit flag for Node.js in its issue and I saw that it was implemented. I'm trying to use it for my project, but it seems to not work.

I've tried to run my tests like so:

node --test test/**/*.test.js --test-force-exit

but the app is still running when the tests are done.

I know that I can pass an argument to the run() function, but I'd like to run it directly from command line. Am I doing something wrong with the command?

After further tests, I found out what was wrong in the line above: it was executed all until the pattern. For whoever will need it, to have the desired behaviour I ultimately used this code inside my package.json:

"scripts": {
    "test": "node --test --test-force-exit --test-name-pattern='.*\\.test\\.js'",
},

That it results in

node --test --test-force-exit --test-name-pattern=".*\.test\.js"
