Eslint-plugin-jest version 27.2.2 represents an incremental update to the popular ESLint plugin that enforces best practices and consistent style for Jest tests. Comparing it with the previous stable version, 27.2.1, reveals subtle but potentially impactful changes for developers.
Notably, a key difference lies in the updated development dependencies. Version 27.2.2 upgrades typescript from version 4.4.0 to 5.0.4 and semantic-release from 19.0.0 to 21.0.0. This indicates improvements behind the scenes related to type checking, build processes, and automated releases. While not directly affecting runtime behavior of the linting rules themselves, these updates likely contribute to improved developer experience, ensure compatibility with newer TypeScript features, and streamlined release cycles.
Furthermore, rimraf has been updated from version 3.0.0 to 5.0.0. Some updated packages are @schemastore/package going from version 0.0.6 to 0.0.8 and jest-runner-eslint which went from version 1.1.0 to 2.0.0. A changed fileCount from 116 to 183 and unpackedSize almost tripled from 316333 to 859298, suggest that there may be new or modified rules, documentation or internal code changes.
Developers relying on eslint-plugin-jest will benefit from these underlying enhancements, promoting reliability and maintainability of both the plugin itself and the Jest test suites it helps to govern. When upgrading, it's advisable to review your project's configuration and dependencies to ensure seamless integration and compatibility.
