eslint-plugin-jest has a new version, 26.8.2, released on August 9, 2022, following closely behind version 26.8.1 released on August 8, 2022. Both versions provide ESLint rules specifically designed for Jest, ensuring code quality and consistency in your Jest test suites. Key dependencies like @typescript-eslint/utils remain the same, suggesting that core functionality related to TypeScript support remains consistent. The peer dependencies also remain identical, requiring eslint versions 6, 7, or 8 and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin version 5.
The development dependencies, a crucial aspect for contributors and those extending the plugin, also appear largely unchanged, indicating a focus on stability and incremental improvements. While a detailed examination of the changes within the rules and configurations would require a deeper dive into the commit history, the differences in unpackedSize (298012 vs 297691) suggests that some minor adjustments or bug fixes were implemented. For developers already using eslint-plugin-jest, upgrading to 26.8.2 is likely a safe move, potentially resolving edge-case bugs and improving performance. For new users, either version provides a robust foundation for linting Jest tests, helping to catch errors early and enforce best practices in test code. The quick release of a new version hints at a bug fix or other urgent update.
