# `DEPRECATED` Enforce valid `expect()` usage (valid-expect) Rule is `DEPRECATED` use `expect-matcher` and `expect-single-argument` instead. Ensure `expect()` is called with a single argument and there is an actual expectation made. ## Rule details This rule triggers a warning if `expect()` is called with more than one argument or without arguments. It would also issue a warning if there is nothing called on `expect()`, e.g.: ```js expect(); expect("something"); ``` or when a matcher function was not called, e.g.: ```js expect(true).toBeDefined ``` This rule is enabled by default. ### Default configuration The following patterns are considered warnings: ```js expect(); expect().toEqual("something"); expect("something", "else"); expect("something"); expect(true).toBeDefined; ``` The following patterns are not warnings: ```js expect("something").toEqual("something"); expect([1, 2, 3]).toEqual([1, 2, 3]); expect(true).toBeDefined(); ```
