# Disallow using a callback in asynchronous tests and hooks (`no-done-callback`)
💼 This rule is enabled in the ✅ `recommended`
[config](https://github.com/jest-community/eslint-plugin-jest/blob/main/README.md#shareable-configurations).
💡 This rule is manually fixable by
[editor suggestions](https://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/working-with-rules#providing-suggestions).

When calling asynchronous code in hooks and tests, `jest` needs to know when the
asynchronous work is complete to progress the current run.

Originally the most common pattern to achieve this was to use callbacks:
```js
test('the data is peanut butter', done => {
function callback(data) {
try {
expect(data).toBe('peanut butter');
done();
} catch (error) {
done(error);
}
}
fetchData(callback);
});
```

This can be very error-prone however, as it requires careful understanding of
how assertions work in tests or otherwise tests won't behave as expected.
For example, if the `try/catch` was left out of the above code, the test would

time out rather than fail. Even with the `try/catch`, forgetting to pass the
caught error to `done` will result in `jest` believing the test has passed.
A more straightforward way to handle asynchronous code is to use Promises:
```js
test('the data is peanut butter', () => {
return fetchData().then(data => {
expect(data).toBe('peanut butter');
});
});
```
When a test or hook returns a promise, `jest` waits for that promise to resolve,
as well as automatically failing should the promise reject.
If your environment supports `async/await`, this becomes even simpler:
```js
test('the data is peanut butter', async () => {
const data = await fetchData();
expect(data).toBe('peanut butter');
});
```
## Rule details
This rule checks the function parameter of hooks & tests for use of the `done`
argument, suggesting you return a promise instead.
The following patterns are considered warnings:
```js
beforeEach(done => {
// ...
});
test('myFunction()', done => {
// ...
});
test('myFunction()', function (done) {
// ...
});
```
The following patterns are not considered warnings:
```js
beforeEach(async () => {
await setupUsTheBomb();
});
test('myFunction()', () => {
expect(myFunction()).toBeTruthy();
});
test('myFunction()', () => {
return new Promise(done => {
expect(myFunction()).toBeTruthy();
done();
});
});
```
