jest/no-test-return-statement Style

What it does

Disallow explicitly returning from tests.

Why is this bad?

Tests in Jest should be void and not return values. If you are returning Promises then you should update the test to use async/await.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
test("one", () => {
  return expect(1).toBe(1);
});

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript
test("one", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});

How to use

To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:

json
{
  "plugins": ["jest"],
  "rules": {
    "jest/no-test-return-statement": "error"
  }
}
bash
oxlint --deny jest/no-test-return-statement --jest-plugin
