# Disallow using `expect` outside of `it` or `test` blocks (`no-standalone-expect`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prevents `expect` statements outside of a `test` or `it` block. An `expect`
|
||
|
|
within a helper function (but outside of a `test` or `it` block) will not
|
||
|
|
trigger this rule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rule Details
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This rule aims to eliminate `expect` statements that will not be executed. An
|
||
|
|
`expect` inside of a `describe` block but outside of a `test` or `it` block or
|
||
|
|
outside a `describe` will not execute and therefore will trigger this rule. It
|
||
|
|
is viable, however, to have an `expect` in a helper function that is called from
|
||
|
|
within a `test` or `it` block so `expect` statements in a function will not
|
||
|
|
trigger this rule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Statements like `expect.hasAssertions()` will NOT trigger this rule since these
|
||
|
|
calls will execute if they are not in a test block.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// in describe
|
||
|
|
describe('a test', () => {
|
||
|
|
expect(1).toBe(1);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// below other tests
|
||
|
|
describe('a test', () => {
|
||
|
|
it('an it', () => {
|
||
|
|
expect(1).toBe(1);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
expect(1).toBe(1);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// in it block
|
||
|
|
describe('a test', () => {
|
||
|
|
it('an it', () => {
|
||
|
|
expect(1).toBe(1);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// in helper function
|
||
|
|
describe('a test', () => {
|
||
|
|
const helper = () => {
|
||
|
|
expect(1).toBe(1);
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
it('an it', () => {
|
||
|
|
helper();
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
describe('a test', () => {
|
||
|
|
expect.hasAssertions(1);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\*Note that this rule will not trigger if the helper function is never used even
|
||
|
|
thought the `expect` will not execute. Rely on a rule like no-unused-vars for
|
||
|
|
this case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### `additionalTestBlockFunctions`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This array can be used to specify the names of functions that should also be
|
||
|
|
treated as test blocks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"rules": {
|
||
|
|
"jest/no-standalone-expect": [
|
||
|
|
"error",
|
||
|
|
{ "additionalTestBlockFunctions": ["each.test"] }
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following is _correct_ when using the above configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
each([
|
||
|
|
[1, 1, 2],
|
||
|
|
[1, 2, 3],
|
||
|
|
[2, 1, 3],
|
||
|
|
]).test('returns the result of adding %d to %d', (a, b, expected) => {
|
||
|
|
expect(a + b).toBe(expected);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When Not To Use It
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't use this rule on non-jest test files.
