Do not import `@jest/globals` outside of the jest test environment

When using Jest as a testing framework, it is generally not recommended to import or use the @jest/globals module outside of the jest test environment. This module provides global methods and variables that are specific to Jest’s testing environment.

The jest test environment includes several built-in global variables such as test, expect, and describe, which are used to write tests in a simple and expressive way. These variables are automatically available to your test files without the need to import @jest/globals.

Importing @jest/globals outside of the jest test environment is generally unnecessary and can lead to potential issues. It is recommended to only import this module within Jest test files.

Here is an example of a Jest test file without importing @jest/globals:


    // test.js

    // Example test using Jest's global variables
    test('Example test', () => {
      expect(1 + 1).toBe(2);
    });
  

As you can see, we can directly use the test and expect functions without importing @jest/globals. Jest provides these global variables automatically within the test environment.
