no-disabled-tests

Disallow skipped, todo, and disabled tests.

Rule detailsโ€‹

Disabled tests preserve the shape of missing coverage without enforcing it. That creates false confidence: the test file appears to describe a scenario, but the scenario does not actually run.

Incorrectโ€‹

it.skip("rejects expired tokens", () => {
    expect(() => verifyToken(expiredToken)).toThrow("expired");
});

Correctโ€‹

it("rejects expired tokens", () => {
    expect(() => verifyToken(expiredToken)).toThrow("expired");
});

Optionsโ€‹

When not to use itโ€‹
