eslint-plugin-jest

ESLint plugin for Jest

Actions Status Renovate badge

Installation

$ yarn add --dev eslint eslint-plugin-jest

Note: If you installed ESLint globally then you must also install eslint-plugin-jest globally.

Usage

Add jest to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
  "plugins": ["jest"]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
  "rules": {
    "jest/no-disabled-tests": "warn",
    "jest/no-focused-tests": "error",
    "jest/no-identical-title": "error",
    "jest/prefer-to-have-length": "warn",
    "jest/valid-expect": "error"
  }
}

You can also tell ESLint about the environment variables provided by Jest by doing:

{
  "env": {
    "jest/globals": true
  }
}

This is included in all configs shared by this plugin, so can be omitted if extending them.

The behaviour of some rules (specifically no-deprecated-functions) change depending on the version of jest being used.

This setting is detected automatically based off the version of the jest package installed in node_modules, but it can also be provided explicitly if desired:

{
  "settings": {
    "jest": {
      "version": 26
    }
  }
}

Shareable configurations

Recommended

This plugin exports a recommended configuration that enforces good testing practices.

To enable this configuration use the extends property in your .eslintrc config file:

{
  "extends": ["plugin:jest/recommended"]
}

Style

This plugin also exports a configuration named style, which adds some stylistic rules, such as prefer-to-be-null, which enforces usage of toBeNull over toBe(null).

To enable this configuration use the extends property in your .eslintrc config file:

{
  "extends": ["plugin:jest/style"]
}

See ESLint documentation for more information about extending configuration files.

All

If you want to enable all rules instead of only some you can do so by adding the all configuration to your .eslintrc config file:

{
  "extends": ["plugin:jest/all"]
}

While the recommended and style configurations only change in major versions the all configuration may change in any release and is thus unsuited for installations requiring long-term consistency.
