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.

TypeScript Rules
In addition to the above rules, this plugin also includes a few advanced rules that are powered by type-checking information provided by TypeScript.
In order to use these rules, you must be using @typescript-eslint/parser
&
adjust your eslint config as outlined
here
Note that unlike the type-checking rules in @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
,
the rules here will fallback to doing nothing if type information is not
available, meaning its safe to include them in shared configs that could be used
on JavaScript and TypeScript projects.
Also note that unbound-method
depends on @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
,
as it extends the original unbound-method
rule from that plugin.
Rule | Description | Configurations | Fixable |
---|---|---|---|
unbound-method | Enforces unbound methods are called with their expected scope |
