permitted keywords
ESLint plugin that detects unsupported keywords in chai.js expect() assertions to prevent silent test failures.
Overview
eslint-plugin-chai-expect-keywords is an ESLint plugin specifically designed for chai.js testing frameworks. It helps developers catch unsupported keywords in expect() assertion chains that would otherwise pass silently without failing tests, improving test reliability and preventing false positives.
Key Features
- Unsupported Keyword Detection — Identifies and flags keywords in chai.js
expect()chains that aren't recognized by chai or its plugins - Plugin Integration Support — Configurable options to include keywords from popular chai plugins like sinon-chai, chai-as-promised, chai-dom, and chai-exclude
- Custom Allow Lists — Allows developers to specify additional keywords to permit in their test suites
- ESLint Compatibility — Supports ESLint versions 4.x through 9.x with appropriate Node.js version requirements
Philosophy
The plugin follows a preventive approach to testing by catching potential issues at the linting stage rather than during test execution, ensuring that chai assertion chains are semantically valid before tests run.
