Disabled test

Error message

Disabled test

What it means

The `Disabled test` diagnostic of oxlint rule `jest/no-disabled-tests` (shared with vitest), produced by Message::DisabledTestWithSkip and Message::DisabledTestWithX. It fires when an individual test case is disabled: `it.skip(...)` / `test.skip(...)` (help: remove the appending `.skip`) or the prefix forms `xit(...)` / `xtest(...)` (help: remove x prefix).

Solutions

1. Remove `.skip` / the `x` prefix and fix the test so it runs green
2. If the case is planned but unwritten, replace with test.todo('name') so it shows up as todo, not silently skipped
3. Audit skips at release time: rg -n '\b(xit|xtest)\b|\b(it|test)\.skip\(' tests/ and require justification for each

Example fix

// before
it.skip('handles timeout', fn);
xtest('legacy shape', fn);

// after
it('handles timeout', fn);
test.todo('legacy shape');

rg -n "\b(?:xit|xtest)\b|\b(?:it|test)\.skip\(" tests/ && exit 1 || exit 0 # fail on disabled tests

When it happens

Trigger: From no_disabled_tests.rs:112-133: a general jest call of kind Test whose name starts with `x` (xit, xtest) or whose members include `skip` (it.skip, test.skip). The diagnostic spans the callee.

Common situations: Temporarily skipping a red test during a big refactor; committing `it.skip` while debugging and forgetting; suites where xtest came from copied legacy code; enabling the jest category in oxlint and discovering accumulated skips.
