nodeTestImports

Reports importing from node:test.

✅ This rule is included in the vitest logical and logicalStrict presets.

Vitest and Node.js’s built-in test runner provide similar APIs, but they are different test runners with different execution models and features. Importing from node:test inside Vitest-targeted files usually means the wrong runner API was imported.

When Not To Use It

Section titled “When Not To Use It”

If a file is intentionally written for Node.js’s built-in test runner, you should not apply the Vitest plugin to that file. In mixed repositories, prefer separate Flint file globs or config entries so node:test files and Vitest files are linted with the right plugin.
