#Configuration

import { defineConfig, rstestPlugin } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([

]);

#Rule Details

Require a blank line before and after afterEach statements so per-test cleanup is visually separated from tests and other setup code. No trailing blank line is required when the hook is the last statement in its scope.

The rule classifies an expression statement by its first identifier, so calls and modifier chains beginning with afterEach are included regardless of where that name was declared. Renamed aliases and namespace calls such as rstest.afterEach are not recognized. Type information is not required.

#Incorrect

const database = createDatabase();
afterEach(() => database.reset());
test('loads a user', loadUser);

#Correct

const database = createDatabase();

afterEach(() => database.reset());

test('loads a user', loadUser);

#Autofix

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