Disallow identical test and module names (qunit/no-identical-names)

💼 This rule is enabled in the ✅ recommended config.

Having identical names for two different tests or modules may create confusion. For example, when a test with the same name as another test in the same module fails, it is harder to know which one failed and thus harder to fix.

Rule Details

This rule looks at the name of every test and module. It will report when two modules or two tests within a module have the same name.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

module("module1");
test("it1", function() {});
test("it1", function() {});

module("module1");
test("it1", function() {});

module("module1");
test("it2", function() {});

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

module("module1");
test("it1", function() {});

module("module2");
test("it1", function() {});

When Not to Use It

If you are using nested modules you should not use this rule, as it does not support nested modules yet.
