# padding-around-describe-blocks

[Added in v0.9.2](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rslint/releases/tag/v0.9.2)
## Configuration

| Preset                   | Configured Value |
| ------------------------ | ---------------- |
| ✅ jestPlugin.configs.all | `"error"`        |


```ts title=rslint.config.ts
import { defineConfig, jestPlugin } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  jestPlugin.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'jest/padding-around-describe-blocks': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Require a blank line before and after Jest suite statements, including `describe`, `fdescribe`, and `xdescribe`. No trailing blank line is required when the suite is the last statement in its scope.

## Incorrect

```js
const account = createAccount();
describe('account', () => {});
describe.skip('archived account', () => {});
```

## Correct

```js
const account = createAccount();

describe('account', () => {});

describe.skip('archived account', () => {});
```

## Autofix

The rule inserts missing blank lines before and after suite statements.
