# Suggest using `expect.assertions()` OR `expect.hasAssertions()` (prefer-expect-assertions) Ensure every test to have either `expect.assertions()` OR `expect.hasAssertions()` as its first expression. ## Rule details This rule triggers a warning if, - `expect.assertions()` OR `expect.hasAssertions()` is not present as first statement in a test, e.g.: ```js test('my test', () => { expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo'); }); ``` - `expect.assertions()` is the first statement in a test where argument passed to `expect.assertions()` is not a valid number, e.g.: ```js test('my test', () => { expect.assertions('1'); expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo'); }); ``` ### Default configuration The following patterns are considered warnings: ```js test("my test", () => { expect.assertions("1"); expect(someThing()).toEqual("foo"); }); test("my test", () => { expect.(someThing()).toEqual("foo"); }); ``` The following patterns would not be considered warnings: ```js test('my test', () => { expect.assertions(1); expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo'); }); test('my test', () => { expect.hasAssertions(); expect(someThing()).toEqual('foo'); }); ```
