Recommend against making assertions inside Page Objects

This rule enforces the Avoid using expect() in page objects Protractor Style Guide recommendation.

Important: This rule requires plugin settings to have the configured "glob"-style paths (see minimatch to learn more about the supported "glob" syntax) to distinguish Page Object files from others.

Edit your ESLint config and add (this is example configuration):

settings: {
  "eslint-plugin-protractor":
    paths: {
      po: ["**/test/e2e/po/*.po.js"]
    }
  }
}

If this setting is not present, the rule would be disabled.

Note: Because ESLint uses absolute paths and it is difficult to correctly locate base path of your project from within a plugin, so it is highly suggested to use complete paths to files you want to match to leverage the risk of targeting wrong directories and files.

Rule details

This rule would warn if it sees expect() function call inside a file that matches at least one of the patterns configured in paths/po array.
