Eslint allow extraneous dependencies in tests

Question

In my test files I get eslint error on some imports like

'import/no-extraneous-dependencies': ["error", { devDependencies: true, }],

this happens only in my second tests directory in some subfolder
in my root tests directory I don't get this errors
I didn't find any settings in package.json or .eslintrc which could cause differentiation.
Currently I have to use

/* eslint-disable import/no-extraneous-dependencies*/

in my test files which we don't like
If I add

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", { "devDependencies": true }]

to .eslintrc th rule is off everywhere not just in tests
How can I switch this rule of except of placing .eslintrc to the tests folder? which folders use devDependencies?

Answer 1

You can use an array of globs as follows, which will allow extraneous dependencies to be access from test files where file name matches **/*.test.js

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": ["**/*.test.js"]}]
