RubyGems.org Adds New Maintainer Role
RubyGems.org has added a new "maintainer" role that allows for publishing new versions of gems. This new permission type is aimed at improving security for gem owners and the service overall.
eslint-plugin-testing-library
Advanced tools
The eslint-plugin-testing-library package is an ESLint plugin that provides linting rules for writing tests with the Testing Library, which is a set of utilities for testing UI components in a user-centric way. This plugin helps enforce best practices and eliminate common mistakes when writing tests with Testing Library.
Enforce consistent usage of Testing Library queries
This rule enforces the use of the `screen` object for querying DOM elements, which provides better consistency and avoids destructuring render result.
/* eslint testing-library/prefer-screen-queries: 'error' */
// Bad
const { getByText } = render(<App />);
getByText('Hello World');
// Good
const screen = render(<App />);
screen.getByText('Hello World');
Avoid using container methods
This rule prevents direct DOM manipulation by avoiding the use of the `container` method, encouraging the use of queries provided by Testing Library instead.
/* eslint testing-library/no-container: 'error' */
// Bad
const { container } = render(<App />);
container.querySelector('.my-class');
// Good
const { getByClassName } = render(<App />);
getByClassName('my-class');
Ensure async queries are awaited
This rule ensures that asynchronous queries like `findBy*` are properly awaited or returned in tests, which is necessary for correct test execution.
/* eslint testing-library/await-async-query: 'error' */
// Bad
getByText('Loading...');
// Good
await findByText('Loaded');
Prevent the use of debug
This rule warns or errors when the `debug` function is used, as it's intended for debugging purposes and should not be left in the final test code.
/* eslint testing-library/no-debug: 'warn' */
// Bad
const { debug } = render(<App />);
debug();
// Good
// No debug usage
This plugin provides ESLint rules for Jest DOM, which is a companion library for Testing Library that provides custom DOM element matchers for Jest. It enforces best practices and consistency for using Jest DOM matchers.
This plugin is focused on linting Jest test code. It includes a variety of rules that help enforce best practices and avoid common mistakes when writing tests with Jest, which is a popular testing framework.
This plugin provides linting rules for Cypress, an end-to-end testing framework. It enforces best practices and consistency when writing tests with Cypress, similar to how eslint-plugin-testing-library does for Testing Library.
ESLint plugin to follow best practices and anticipate common mistakes when writing tests with Testing Library
You'll first need to install ESLint:
$ npm i eslint --save-dev
Next, install eslint-plugin-testing-library
:
$ npm install eslint-plugin-testing-library --save-dev
Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g
flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-testing-library
globally.
Add testing-library
to the plugins section of your .eslintrc
configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin-
prefix:
{
"plugins": ["testing-library"]
}
Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.
{
"rules": {
"testing-library/await-async-query": "error",
"testing-library/no-await-sync-query": "error",
"testing-library/no-debug": "warn"
}
}
This plugin exports several recommended configurations that enforce good practices for specific Testing Library packages.
You can find more info about enabled rules in the Supported Rules section within the Configurations
column.
Enforces recommended rules for DOM Testing Library.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your
.eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/dom"]
}
Enforces recommended rules for Angular Testing Library.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your
.eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/angular"]
}
Enforces recommended rules for React Testing Library.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your
.eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/react"]
}
Enforces recommended rules for Vue Testing Library.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your
.eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/vue"]
}
