I'm using Jest framework and have a test suite. I want to turn off/skip one of my tests.
Googling documentation doesn't give me answers.
Do you know the answer or source of information to check?
I found the answer here
test('it is raining', () => {
expect(inchesOfRain()).toBeGreaterThan(0);
});
test.skip('it is not snowing', () => {
expect(inchesOfSnow()).toBe(0);
});
You can also exclude test or describe by prefixing them with an x.
Individual Tests
describe('All Test in this describe will be run', () => {
xtest('Except this test- This test will not be run', () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
test('This test will be run', () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
});
Multiple tests inside a describe
xdescribe('All tests in this describe will be skipped', () => {
test('This test will be skipped', () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
test('This test will be skipped', () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
});
If you'd like to skip a test in Jest, you can use test.skip:
test.skip(name, fn)
Which is also under the following aliases:
it.skip(name, fn) or xit(name, fn) or xtest(name, fn)Additionally, if you'd like to skip a test suite, you can use describe.skip:
describe.skip(name, fn)
Which is also under the following alias:
xdescribe(name, fn)
