eslint-plugin-qunit

library8.2.6jsnpmunverified

ESLint plugin with rules specific to QUnit testing framework. Current stable version is 8.2.6, released February 2026. The plugin provides 20+ rules including recommended configurations for catching common QUnit mistakes (e.g., assert argument order, async handling, global usage). Actively maintained, supporting ESLint 8 and 9 with flat config support since v8.1.0. Ships TypeScript types since v8.2.0. Compared to generic linting, it catches QUnit-specific runtime errors and anti-patterns. Peer dependency on eslint >=8.38.0.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

configs.recommended

✓ import eslintPluginQunitRecommended from 'eslint-plugin-qunit/configs/recommended';

✗ const recommended = require('eslint-plugin-qunit/configs/recommended');

ESM import is the standard for flat config; require is still supported but less common.

plugin

✓ import plugin from 'eslint-plugin-qunit';

✗ const { rules } = require('eslint-plugin-qunit');

Default import gives full plugin object; named destructuring of rules is not exported directly.

rules

✓ import { rules } from 'eslint-plugin-qunit/rules';

Available for custom rule configuration, but less common; use plugin.rules instead.

Set up ESLint with QUnit plugin flat config and custom rule overrides.

// eslint.config.js (flat config) import js from '@eslint/js'; import qunitPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-qunit'; import qunitRecommended from 'eslint-plugin-qunit/configs/recommended'; export default [ js.configs.recommended, qunitRecommended, { plugins: { qunit: qunitPlugin, }, rules: { 'qunit/no-arrow-tests': 'error', 'qunit/no-async-in-loops': 'warn', }, }, ];

Debug

Known issues

breakingESLint v9 no longer supports .eslintrc config style; must use flat config.

fix

Migrate to eslint.config.js using import syntax; see QUnit plugin v8.1.0 release notes.

affects: >=8.0.0

gotchaSetting 'qunit/assert-args' to error will flag missing or extra arguments in assertions, which may break existing test suites with intentionally loose calls.

fix

Review test code and fix assertion arguments to match QUnit's expected interface, or adjust rule severity.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRecommended config includes 'no-assert-equal' which disallows assert.equal/assert.strictEqual; use assert.deepEqual or assert.propEqual instead.

fix

Replace assert.equal with assert.deepEqual or assert.propEqual for deep comparison, or assert.strictEqual for strict equality (if strict equality is intended).

affects: >=4.0.0

deprecatedThe 'qunit/no-commented-tests' rule is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

fix

Use 'no-commented-tests' from eslint-plugin-qunit at your own risk; consider custom ESLint disable comments instead.

affects: >=8.0.0

breakingFlat config requires importing plugin configs directly, not via 'plugin:qunit/recommended' string.

fix

Use import statement as shown in quickstart; see v8.1.0 migration notes.

affects: >=8.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Failed to load plugin 'qunit': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-qunit'

ESLint cannot locate the package; not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install eslint-plugin-qunit --save-dev in your project root.

Parsing error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level

Using ESM import syntax in .eslintrc.js file without enabling sourceType.

fix

Set 'sourceType': 'module' in parserOptions, or rename to eslint.config.js.

Configuration for rule 'qunit/no-assert-equal' is invalid: severity should be one of ...

Rule configuration is malformed, e.g., severity level as string instead of number.

fix

Set severity as number: 'qunit/no-assert-equal': 2 (error) or 'error'.
