no-pass-with-no-tests

Disallow test.passWithNoTests: true in Vitest configuration.

Rule catalog ID: R022

Targeted pattern scope​

  • vitest.config.*
  • vitest.workspace.*
  • vite.config.* when a Vitest test block is used
  • root and inline project test.passWithNoTests

What this rule reports​

This rule reports explicit test.passWithNoTests: true assignments.

Why this rule exists​

passWithNoTests can be useful for one-off local workflows, but committing it to shared config can mask accidental test-discovery regressions. When files are moved, globs change, or projects are misconfigured, CI can appear green while running zero tests.

This plugin focuses on safe Vite/Vitest configuration defaults, so preventing this failure-masking toggle in committed config is a high-signal check.

❌ Incorrect​

import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config";

export default defineConfig({
    test: {
        passWithNoTests: true,
    },
});

βœ… Correct​

import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config";

export default defineConfig({
    test: {
        passWithNoTests: false,
    },
});

Behavior and migration notes​

  • this rule only reports explicit true assignments
  • it does not require setting passWithNoTests when omitted
  • if you need local-only behavior, prefer CLI flags or local config overrides instead of committing this toggle

ESLint flat config example​

import vite from "@typpi/eslint-plugin-vite";

export default [vite.configs.strict, vite.configs.vitest];

When not to use it​

Disable this rule only if your team intentionally accepts β€œgreen with no discovered tests” as a committed behavior.
