    Rule Details

    Prefer Jest lifecycle hooks in the same order Jest runs them.

    Hooks can be written in any order, but Jest always executes them as:

    1. beforeAll
    2. beforeEach
    3. afterEach
    4. afterAll

    This rule reports when a hook appears after a hook from a later stage in that sequence within the same consecutive group of hook calls. Matching source order to runtime order makes suite setup easier to read.

    Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

    describe('foo', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    seedMyDatabase();
  });

  beforeAll(() => {
    createMyDatabase();
  });

  it('accepts this input', () => {
    // ...
  });

  it('returns that value', () => {
    // ...
  });

  describe('when the database has specific values', () => {
    const specificValue = '...';

    beforeEach(() => {
      seedMyDatabase(specificValue);
    });

    it('accepts that input', () => {
      // ...
    });

    it('throws an error', () => {
      // ...
    });

    afterEach(() => {
      clearLogger();
    });
    beforeEach(() => {
      mockLogger();
    });

    it('logs a message', () => {
      // ...
    });
  });

  afterAll(() => {
    removeMyDatabase();
  });
});

    Examples of correct code for this rule:

    describe('foo', () => {
  beforeAll(() => {
    createMyDatabase();
  });

  beforeEach(() => {
    seedMyDatabase();
  });

  it('accepts this input', () => {
    // ...
  });

  it('returns that value', () => {
    // ...
  });

  describe('when the database has specific values', () => {
    const specificValue = '...';

    beforeEach(() => {
      seedMyDatabase(specificValue);
    });

    it('accepts that input', () => {
      // ...
    });

    it('throws an error', () => {
      // ...
    });

    beforeEach(() => {
      mockLogger();
    });

    afterEach(() => {
      clearLogger();
    });

    it('logs a message', () => {
      // ...
    });
  });

  afterAll(() => {
    removeMyDatabase();
  });
});
