# padding-around-expect-groups

[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-expect-groups': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Require a blank line around each consecutive group of `expect` statements. Adjacent assertions remain together without blank lines between them. Awaited `expect` statements are included.

## Incorrect

```js
const account = loadAccount();
expect(account.name).toBe('Ada');
expect(account.active).toBe(true);
saveAccount(account);
```

## Correct

```js
const account = loadAccount();

expect(account.name).toBe('Ada');
expect(account.active).toBe(true);

saveAccount(account);
```

## Autofix

The rule inserts missing blank lines at assertion-group boundaries.
