Add new shareable configurations for libraries

[thomaslombart]

Currently, we are supporting Angular, React and Vue for shareable configurations. The configuration contains the following rules:

• await-async-query
• await-async-utils
• no-await-async-query
• no-debug
• no-dom-import

It would be nice to add shareable configurations for other libraries such as:

• Native Testing Library
• Preact Testing Library
• Svelte Testing Library
• Marko Testing Library feat: add support for @marko/testing-library #572
• Cypress Testing Library There is nothing to cover in Cypress Testing Library. Actually, this plugin must be excluded from Cypress tests.

We would need to check that each rule can be applied to these packages.

Indeed! Would be nice to include all those presets, and even check if there are special cases for them as async fire event for vue so we can add additional rules to those presets in a next step.

I'll try to find more info about what of our current rules could/should be applied for each and share it here for further discussion.

I did a quick research for Native Testing Library. Even if it's implemented in a completely different way under the hood (as it's not looking for elements in the DOM of course) the main core of the API remains the same. These are the main differences I've found:

• Additional NativeTestInstance with additional properties. This would need additional rules maybe, but it doesn't affect the current ones.
• Additional ByHintText query. Just including this one in the list of queries would be enough? It would be enabled for other presets but I don't know if that's a problem.
• ByRole query doesn't exist. We could disable checks for this query when enabling native testing library preset, but I don't think it's worth the effort?
• Methods from fireEvent are different. I don't think this affects the plugin as we don't check any specific fireEvent method.

So apart from adding the additional query I don't think we would have to do anything else for that one.

Thanks for the details! For ByHintText and ByRole, I don't think that's a problem. We could do it but as you said, I'm not sure if that's worth.

By the way, there is also a difference for Marko Testing Library for no-dom-import as the package name is @marko/testing-library and not @testing-library/marko.

[Belco90]

Maybe we should split this in a project to be able to implement and review each library separated and then merge everything together.

One not mentioned in the OP is cypress

[Belco90]

@SimenB added to the description! That would need some specific rules I guess so you can limit the queries to only findBy* ones for example.

[SimenB]

It seems they'll deal with that themselves

But at least prefer-explicit-assert would be nice

[Belco90]

I see, something less to worry about!

For including cypress within prefer-explicit-assert you mean check that all findBy* following the pattern cy.<other optional chained methods>.findByText(<some element>) have a final method right? So:

//  this is fine as it has an assertion
cy.get('form').findByText('Button Text').should('exist')

// this is fine as it's doing something with the element
cy.findAllByText('Jackie Chan').click()

// this should throw an error in the rule for preferring a explicit assert
cy.findAllByText('Hello World')

Is this right? I'm not sure if this is what you meant.

[SimenB]

Yeah, that's what I meant 👍

[Belco90]

Cool! It should be easy to implement that. I hope after some internal refactors we are doing we can go back to this ticket. Cypress seems like an easy one to add, probably would be nice start from that one.

React Native Testing Library 2.0 is compatible with the plugin except for one rule! https://callstack.com/blog/react-native-testing-library-2-0/

This will help to create the proper preset for RNTL.
