Disallow global module/test/asyncTest (no-global-module-test)

✅ The "extends": "plugin:qunit/recommended" property in a configuration file enables this rule.

QUnit 2.0 is deprecating and removing global functions related to declaring tests and modules. This rule will warn when the global functions are used.

Rule Details

The following patterns are considered warnings:

module("A module");

module("A module", {
    beforeEach: function () { },
    afterEach: function () { }
});

test("A test", function () { });

asyncTest("A test", function () { });

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

QUnit.module("A module");

QUnit.module("A module", {
    beforeEach: function () { },
    afterEach: function () { }
});

QUnit.test("A test", function () { });

QUnit.asyncTest("A test", function () { });

// Other globals are not warned. no-global-assertions catches global assertions.
ok(true);

When Not to Use It

This rule can be safely disabled if you want to tolerate global module/test declarations, especially if your codebase does not use QUnit 2.0 syntax yet.
