globals

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false

Provide global Rstest APIs for test files, such as expect, test, describe, etc.

By default, Rstest does not provide global APIs. If you prefer to use the APIs globally like Jest, you can add globals: true in the config or pass the --globals option to CLI.

rstest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  globals: true,
});

Usage

When you enable globals, you can use the global APIs directly without import from '@rstest/core'.

index.test.ts
- import { describe, expect, it } from '@rstest/core';

describe('Index', () => {
  it('should add two numbers correctly', () => {
    expect(1 + 1).toBe(2);
  });
});

TypeScript support

To get TypeScript working with the global APIs, add @rstest/core/globals to the types field in your tsconfig.json

tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["@rstest/core/globals"]
  }
}
