Global test context

[canassa]

I am currently looking into the test context documentation and I have two questions:

1- Importing an extended helper like this is a bit cumbersome:

import { expect } from 'vitest'
import { myTest } from './my-test.js'

myTest('add items to todos', ({ todos }) => {
  expect(todos.length).toBe(3)

  todos.push(4)
  expect(todos.length).toBe(4)
})

Is there a to make the extended context automatically available when importing directly from vitest?

2- The docs mention about extending test, but our tests are using a mixture of test, describe, it, etc. What's the best way to make the extended context available to all of these?

1. It is not possible to extend the default test from vitest. I don't see how importing it is cumbersome, it takes the same amount of steps - I would recommend exporting a test function instead of myTest:

import { test as baseTest } from 'vitest'
export const test = baseTest.extend({
   // ...
})

2. describe doesn't care about the context so you can just use it. it is an alias for test, they reference the same function, so it doesn't matter which one you use
