jest/max-expects Style

What it does

As more assertions are made, there is a possible tendency for the test to be more likely to mix multiple objectives. To avoid this, this rule reports when the maximum number of assertions is exceeded.

Why is this bad?

This rule enforces a maximum number of expect() calls. The following patterns are considered warnings (with the default option of { "max": 5 } ):

Example

javascript
test("should not pass", () => {
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
});

it("should not pass", () => {
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
  expect(true).toBeDefined();
});
