orphan-test

A test file that never runs.

hiddenDROPPED

4 / 14 true, 95% Wilson interval 0.12 to 0.55, on 12 open-source projects.

Shown with --all. Never gates, even with an override.

Hidden by default

Its review dropped it: too often it was wrong about which tests a runner collects.

It still runs: spirolo check --all shows its findings, labelled, and it never fails the build, even with an override.

What it reports

None of the file's tests ever run: no configured runner (Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, node --test) collects the file and no collected test imports it, or it imports a project module that no longer resolves, so it fails before any test runs.

What to do

Wire it into a runner (add an include glob, move it, or fix the import), or delete it if it is dead.

spirolo explain orphan-test prints the same claim and status from your installed binary.
