# no export from test file (no-export)
Prevents exports from test files. If a file has at least 1 test in it, then this
rule will prevent exports.
## Rule Details
This rule aims to eliminate duplicate runs of tests by exporting things from
test files. If you import from a test file, then all the tests in that file will
be run in each imported instance, so bottom line, don't export from a test, but
instead move helper functions into a seperate file when they need to be shared
across tests.
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
```js
export function myHelper() {}
module.exports = function() {};
module.exports = {
something: 'that should be moved to a non-test file',
};
describe('a test', () => {
expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
```js
function myHelper() {}
const myThing = {
something: 'that can live here',
};
describe('a test', () => {
expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```
## When Not To Use It
Don't use this rule on non-jest test files.
