Suggest using expect.assertions() OR expect.hasAssertions() (prefer-expect-assertions)

💡 This rule is manually fixable by editor suggestions.

Ensure every test to have either expect.assertions(<number of assertions>) OR expect.hasAssertions() as its first expression.

Rule details

This rule triggers a warning if,

• expect.assertions(<number of assertions>) OR expect.hasAssertions() is not present as first statement in a test, e.g.:

test('my test', () => {
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

• expect.assertions(<number of assertions>) is the first statement in a test where argument passed to expect.assertions(<number of assertions>) is not a valid number, e.g.:

test('my test', () => {
  expect.assertions('1');
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

The following patterns are considered warnings:

test('my test', () => {
  expect.assertions('1');
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

test('my test', () => {
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

The following patterns would not be considered warnings:

test('my test', () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

test('my test', () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo');
});

Options

This rule can be configured to only check tests that match certain patterns that typically look like expect calls might be missed, such as in promises or loops.

By default, none of these options are enabled meaning the rule checks every test for a call to either expect.hasAssertions or expect.assertions. If any of the options are enabled the rule checks any test that matches at least one of the patterns represented by the enabled options (think "OR" rather than "AND").

onlyFunctionsWithAsyncKeyword

When true, this rule will only warn for tests that use the async keyword.

{
  "rules": {
    "jest/prefer-expect-assertions": [
      "warn",
      { "onlyFunctionsWithAsyncKeyword": true }
    ]
  }
}

When onlyFunctionsWithAsyncKeyword option is set to true, the following pattern would be a warning:

test('my test', async () => {
  const result = await someAsyncFunc();
  expect(result).toBe('foo');
});

While the following patterns would not be considered warnings:

test('my test', () => {
  const result = someFunction();
  expect(result).toBe('foo');
});

test('my test', async () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  const result = await someAsyncFunc();
  expect(result).toBe('foo');
});

onlyFunctionsWithExpectInLoop

When true, this rule will only warn for tests that have expect calls within a native loop.

{
  "rules": {
    "jest/prefer-expect-assertions": [
      "warn",
      { "onlyFunctionsWithExpectInLoop": true }
    ]
  }
}

Examples of incorrect code when 'onlyFunctionsWithExpectInLoop' is true:

describe('getNumbers', () => {
  it('only returns numbers that are greater than zero', () => {
    const numbers = getNumbers();

    for (const number in numbers) {
      expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    }
  });
});

Examples of correct code when 'onlyFunctionsWithExpectInLoop' is true:

describe('getNumbers', () => {
  it('only returns numbers that are greater than zero', () => {
    expect.hasAssertions();

    const numbers = getNumbers();

    for (const number in numbers) {
      expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    }
  });

  it('returns more than one number', () => {
    expect(getNumbers().length).toBeGreaterThan(1);
  });
});

onlyFunctionsWithExpectInCallback

When true, this rule will only warn for tests that have expect calls within a callback.

{
  "rules": {
    "jest/prefer-expect-assertions": [
      "warn",
      { "onlyFunctionsWithExpectInCallback": true }
    ]
  }
}

Examples of incorrect code when 'onlyFunctionsWithExpectInCallback' is true:

describe('getNumbers', () => {
  it('only returns numbers that are greater than zero', () => {
    const numbers = getNumbers();

    getNumbers().forEach(number => {
      expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    });
  });
});

describe('/users', () => {
  it.each([1, 2, 3])('returns ok', id => {
    client.get(`/users/${id}`, response => {
      expect(response.status).toBe(200);
    });
  });
});

Examples of correct code when 'onlyFunctionsWithExpectInCallback' is true:

  it('only returns numbers that are greater than zero', () => {
    expect.hasAssertions();

    const numbers = getNumbers();

    getNumbers().forEach(number => {
      expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    });
  });
});

describe('/users', () => {
  it.each([1, 2, 3])('returns ok', id => {
    expect.assertions(1);

    client.get(`/users/${id}`, response => {
      expect(response.status).toBe(200);
    });
  });
});
