Eslint-plugin-jest provides ESLint rules specifically tailored for Jest, the popular JavaScript testing framework, improving code quality and consistency in test suites. Version 24.3.7 and 24.3.6 share the same core purpose and maintain compatibility with ESLint versions 5, 6, and 7. Both versions rely on @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils for enhanced TypeScript support within ESLint rules.
Key differences between the two versions lie primarily in their development dependencies. Version 24.3.7 upgrades jest from ^26.0.1 to ^27.0.0and babel-jest from ^26.0.1 to ^27.0.0. This update could bring breaking changes into the testing environment, so developers should consult Jest's changelog for details. While both depend on TypeScript version ^4.0.0, version 24.3.7 updates @types/jest from ^26.0.0 to ^26.0.0 and updates a number of the dev dependencies versions. The newer version also has a slightly larger unpacked size (254661 bytes vs 253795 bytes) which is negligible.
For developers, these version changes mean ensuring compatibility of their existing test setup with Jest v27 and being mindful of potential breaking changes introduced by the upgraded testing framework. The update aims to leverage the latest Jest features and improvements, though a careful review and testing are recommended during the upgrade process. The dependency differences mainly impact the testing and development environment of the plugin itself, not necessarily the end-user experience, but it's beneficial to be aware of these changes for a smooth upgrade process.
