no-focused-tests

Disallow focused tests and suites.

Rule detailsโ€‹

Focused tests are useful while debugging, but they are dangerous in committed code. A focused test runs only part of the suite, so failures in neighboring tests can disappear from local runs and CI jobs that reuse the same command.

Incorrectโ€‹

it.only("handles valid input", () => {
    expect(parseConfig("enabled")).toBe(true);

Correctโ€‹

it("handles valid input", () => {

Optionsโ€‹

When not to use itโ€‹
