How to use ESLint with Jest

Question

I\'m attempting to use the ESLint linter with the Jest testing framework.

Jest tests run with some globals like jest, which I\'ll need to tell the lin

ESLint supports this as of version >= 4:

/*
.eslintrc.js
*/
const ERROR = 2;
const WARN = 1;

module.exports = {
  extends: "eslint:recommended",
  env: {
    es6: true
  },
  overrides: [
    {
      files: [
        "**/*.test.js"
      ],
      env: {
        jest: true // now **/*.test.js files' env has both es6 *and* jest
      },
      // Can't extend in overrides: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/8813
      // "extends": ["plugin:jest/recommended"]
      plugins: ["jest"],
      rules: {
        "jest/no-disabled-tests": "warn",
        "jest/no-focused-tests": "error",
        "jest/no-identical-title": "error",
        "jest/prefer-to-have-length": "warn",
        "jest/valid-expect": "error"
      }
    }
  ],
};

Here is a workaround (from another answer on here, vote it up!) for the "extend in overrides" limitation of eslint config :

overrides: [
  Object.assign(
    {
      files: [ '**/*.test.js' ],
      env: { jest: true },
      plugins: [ 'jest' ],
    },
    require('eslint-plugin-jest').configs.recommended
  )
]
