# jest/no-duplicate-hooks

> Disallow using the same hook twice in one `describe` block

Two `beforeEach` calls in the same block both run, so nothing fails. But someone who reads the first one assumes that's all the setup and misses the second, which can be many lines below.

Hooks are counted per `describe` block, and the top level of the file counts as a block. A nested `describe` can have its own `beforeEach`.
