How to pass variable from beforeEach hook to tests in jest?

Question

beforeEach(async () => {   const sandbox = sinon.sandbox.create()   ... })  test('/add', () => {   // how can I use sandbox here? }) 

What I need is something like t.context in ava

Answer 1

Just declare sandbox so it is available in the scope of beforeEach and test:

let sandbox;  beforeEach(async () => {   sandbox = sinon.sandbox.create()   ... })  test('/add', () => {   // sandbox available for use })
