jest/no-restricted-jest-methods Style

What it does

Restrict the use of specific jest and vi methods.

Why is this bad?

Certain Jest methods may be deprecated, discouraged in specific contexts, or incompatible with your testing environment. Restricting them helps maintain consistent and reliable test practices.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
jest.useFakeTimers();
it("calls the callback after 1 second via advanceTimersByTime", () => {
  // ...

  jest.advanceTimersByTime(1000);

  // ...
});

test("plays video", () => {
  const spy = jest.spyOn(video, "play");

  // ...
});

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

bash
oxlint --deny jest/no-restricted-jest-methods --jest-plugin
json
{
  "plugins": ["jest"],
  "rules": {
    "jest/no-restricted-jest-methods": "error"
  }
}
