# Disallow conditional logic in tests (`no-conditional-in-test`) Conditional logic in tests is usually an indication that a test is attempting to cover too much, and not testing the logic it intends to. Each branch of code executing within a conditional statement will usually be better served by a test devoted to it. ## Rule Details This rule reports on any use of a conditional statement such as `if`, `switch`, and ternary expressions. Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule: ```js it('foo', () => { if (true) { doTheThing(); } }); it('bar', () => { switch (mode) { case 'none': generateNone(); case 'single': generateOne(); case 'multiple': generateMany(); } expect(fixtures.length).toBeGreaterThan(-1); }); it('baz', async () => { const promiseValue = () => { return something instanceof Promise ? something : Promise.resolve(something); }; await expect(promiseValue()).resolves.toBe(1); }); ``` Examples of **correct** code for this rule: ```js describe('my tests', () => { if (true) { it('foo', () => { doTheThing(); }); } }); beforeEach(() => { switch (mode) { case 'none': generateNone(); case 'single': generateOne(); case 'multiple': generateMany(); } }); it('bar', () => { expect(fixtures.length).toBeGreaterThan(-1); }); const promiseValue = something => { return something instanceof Promise ? something : Promise.resolve(something); }; it('baz', async () => { await expect(promiseValue()).resolves.toBe(1); }); ```
