Enforces a maximum depth to nested describe calls (max-nested-describe)

While it's useful to be able to group your tests together within the same file using describe(), having too many levels of nesting throughout your tests make them difficult to read.

Rule Details

Examples of incorrect code for this rule (with the default option of { "max": 5 } ):

test.describe('foo', () => {
  test.describe('bar', () => {
    test.describe('baz', () => {
      test.describe('qux', () => {
        test.describe('quxx', () => {
          test.describe('too many', () => {
            test('this test', async ({ page }) => {})
          })
        })
      })
    })
  })
})

Examples of correct code for this rule (with the default option of { "max": 5 } ):

  })
})

Options

{
  "playwright/max-nested-describe": ["error", { "max": 5 }]
}

max

Enforces a maximum depth for nested describe().

This has a default value of 5.

Examples of correct code with options set to { "max": 2 }:

test.describe('foo', () => {
  test.describe('bar', () => {
    test('this test', async ({ page }) => {})
  })
})
