In Jest, how can I make a test fail?

I know I could throw an error from inside the test, but I wonder if there is something like the global fail() method provided by Jasmine?

Jest actually uses Jasmine, so you can use fail just like before.

Sample call:

fail('it should not reach here');

Here's the definition from the TypeScript declaration file for Jest:

declare function fail(error?: any): never;

You can do it by throwing an error. For example:

test('Obi-Wan Kenobi', () => {
  throw new Error('I have failed you, Anakin')
})
