How to use ESLint with Jest

The docs show you are now able to add:

"env": {
    "jest/globals": true
}

To your .eslintrc which will add all the jest related things to your environment, eliminating the linter errors/warnings.

You may need to include plugins: ["jest"] to your esconfig, and add the eslint-plugin-jest plugin if it still isn't working.

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
  )
]

You can also set the test env in your test file as follows:

/* eslint-env jest */

describe(() => {
  /* ... */
})

To complete Zachary's answer, here is a workaround 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
  )
]
