How to use ESLint with Jest
ESLint supports this as of version >= 4:
/*
.eslintrc.js
*/
const ERROR = 2;
const WARN = 1;
module.exports = {
extends: "eslint:recommended",
env: {
es6: true
},
overrides: [
{
files: [
"**/*.test.js"
],
env: {
jest: true // now **/*.test.js files' env has both es6 *and* jest
},
// Can't extend in overrides: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/8813
// "extends": ["plugin:jest/recommended"]
plugins: ["jest"],
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"
}
}
],
};
Here is a workaround (from another answer on here, vote it up!) for the "extend in overrides" limitation of eslint config :
overrides: [
Object.assign(
{
files: [ '**/*.test.js' ],
env: { jest: true },
plugins: [ 'jest' ],
},
require('eslint-plugin-jest').configs.recommended
)
]

You can also set the test env in your test file as follows:
/* eslint-env jest */
describe(() => {
/* ... */
})
To complete Zachary's answer, here is a workaround for the "extend in overrides" limitation of eslint config :
overrides: [
Object.assign(
{
files: [ '**/*.test.js' ],
env: { jest: true },
plugins: [ 'jest' ],
},
require('eslint-plugin-jest').configs.recommended
)

The docs show you are now able to add:
"env": {
"jest/globals": true
}
To your .eslintrc
which will add all the jest related things to your environment, eliminating the linter errors/warnings.
You may need to include plugins: ["jest"]
to your esconfig, and add the eslint-plugin-jest
plugin if it still isn't working.
