Skip one test in test file Jest

Question

I'm using Jest framework and have a test suite. I want to turn off/skip one of my tests.

Googling documentation doesn't give me answers.

Do you know the answer or source of information to check?

Answer 1

Skip a test

If you'd like to skip a test in Jest, you can use test.skip:

test.skip(name, fn)

Which is also under the following aliases:

• it.skip(name, fn) or
• xit(name, fn) or
• xtest(name, fn)

Skip a test suite

Additionally, if you'd like to skip a test suite, you can use describe.skip:

describe.skip(name, fn)

Which is also under the following alias:

• xdescribe(name, fn)

Answer 2

You can also exclude test or describe by prefixing them with an x.

Individual Tests

describe('All Test in this describe will be run', () => {
  xtest('Except this test- This test will not be run', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
  test('This test will be run', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
});

Multiple tests inside a describe

xdescribe('All tests in this describe will be skipped', () => {
 test('This test will be skipped', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(true);
 });

 test('This test will be skipped', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(true);
 });
});

Answer 3

I found the answer here

https://devhints.io/jest

test('it is raining', () => {
  expect(inchesOfRain()).toBeGreaterThan(0);
});

test.skip('it is not snowing', () => {
  expect(inchesOfSnow()).toBe(0);
});
