+The rules provided by this plugin assume that the files they are checking are
+test-related. This means it's generally not suitable to include them in your

+```json
+{
+ "extends": ["eslint:recommended"],
+ "overrides": [
+ {
+ "files": ["test/**"],
+ "plugins": ["jest"],
+ "extends": ["plugin:jest/recommended"],
+ "rules": { "jest/prefer-expect-assertions": "off" }

+ "indent": ["error", 2]
