# Enforces a maximum depth to nested describe calls (`max-nested-describe`)
|
|
|
|
<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
|
|
|
|
While it's useful to be able to group your tests together within the same file
|
|
using `describe()`, having too many levels of nesting throughout your tests make
|
|
them difficult to read.
|
|
|
|
## Rule details
|
|
|
|
This rule enforces a maximum depth to nested `describe()` calls to improve code
|
|
clarity in your tests.
|
|
|
|
The following patterns are considered warnings (with the default option of
|
|
`{ "max": 5 } `):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
describe('foo', () => {
|
|
describe('bar', () => {
|
|
describe('baz', () => {
|
|
describe('qux', () => {
|
|
describe('quxx', () => {
|
|
describe('too many', () => {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
describe('foo', function () {
|
|
describe('bar', function () {
|
|
describe('baz', function () {
|
|
describe('qux', function () {
|
|
describe('quxx', function () {
|
|
describe('too many', function () {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following patterns are **not** considered warnings (with the default option
|
|
of `{ "max": 5 } `):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
describe('foo', () => {
|
|
describe('bar', () => {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
describe('qux', () => {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
describe('foo2', function () {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
describe('foo', function () {
|
|
describe('bar', function () {
|
|
describe('baz', function () {
|
|
describe('qux', function () {
|
|
describe('this is the limit', function () {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"jest/max-nested-describe": [
|
|
"error",
|
|
{
|
|
"max": 5
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `max`
|
|
|
|
Enforces a maximum depth for nested `describe()`.
|
|
|
|
This has a default value of `5`.
|
|
|
|
Examples of patterns **not** considered warnings with options set to
|
|
`{ "max": 2 }`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
describe('foo', () => {
|
|
describe('bar', () => {
|
|
it('should get something', () => {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
describe('foo2', function () {
|
|
describe('bar2', function () {
|
|
it('should get something', function () {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
it('should get else', function () {
|
|
expect(getSomething()).toBe('Something');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
