[Internal] Cypress Developer ESLint Plugin

Common ESLint rules shared by Cypress packages.

⚠️ This package for internal development of Cypress. Here's the Official Cypress ESLint Plugin meant for users of Cypress.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev

Usage

1. install the following devDependencies:

@cypress/eslint-plugin-dev
eslint-plugin-json-format
@typescript-eslint/parser
@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
eslint-plugin-mocha

# if you have coffeescript files
@fellow/eslint-plugin-coffee
babel-eslint

# if you have react/jsx files
eslint-plugin-react
babel-eslint

2. add the following to your root level .eslintrc.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@cypress/dev"
  ],
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@cypress/dev/general",
  ]
}

Note: also add "plugin:@cypress/dev/react", if you are using React

Note: if you have a test/ directory, you should create a .eslintrc.json file inside of it, and add:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@cypress/dev/tests"
  ]
}

3. add the following to your .eslintignore:

# don't ignore hidden files, useful for formatting json config files
!.*

4. (optional) Install and configure your text editor's ESLint Plugin Extension to lint and auto-fix files using ESLint, detailed below

5. (optional) Install husky and enable the lint pre-commit hook:

package.json:

  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-pre-commit"
    }
  },

Note: the lint-pre-commit hook will automatically lint your staged files, and only --fix and git add them if there are no unstaged changes existing in that file (this protects partially staged files from being added in the hook).
To auto-fix all staged & unstaged files, run ./node_modules/.bin/lint-changed --fix

Presets

Configuration Examples

    "plugin:@cypress/dev/general"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "comma-dangle": "off",
    "no-debugger": "warn"
  }
}

Stop your package.json from being formatted:

{
  "settings": {
    "json/sort-package-json": false
  }
}

Custom Rules:

@cypress/dev/skip-comment	Enforces a comment (// NOTE:) explaining a .skip added to it, describe, or context test blocks	{ commentTokens: [array] tokens that indicate .skip explanation (default: ['NOTE:', 'TODO:', 'FIXME:'])}	'@cypress/dev/skip-comment': ['error', { commentTokens: ['TODO:'] }]
@cypress/dev/no-return-before	Disallows return statements before certain configurable tokens	{ tokens: [array] tokens that cannot be preceded by 'return' (default: ['it', 'describe', 'context', 'expect'])}	'@cypress/dev/no-return-before': ['error', { tokens: ['myfn'] }]
