# Disallow string interpolation inside snapshots (`no-interpolation-in-snapshots`) Prevents the use of string interpolations in snapshots. ## Rule Details Interpolation prevents snapshots from being updated. Instead, properties should be overloaded with a matcher by using [property matchers](https://jestjs.io/docs/en/snapshot-testing#property-matchers). Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule: ```js expect(something).toMatchInlineSnapshot( `Object { property: ${interpolated} }`, ); expect(something).toMatchInlineSnapshot( { other: expect.any(Number) }, `Object { other: Any, property: ${interpolated} }`, ); expect(errorThrowingFunction).toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot( `${interpolated}`, ); ``` Examples of **correct** code for this rule: ```js expect(something).toMatchInlineSnapshot(); expect(something).toMatchInlineSnapshot( `Object { property: 1 }`, ); expect(something).toMatchInlineSnapshot( { property: expect.any(Date) }, `Object { property: Any }`, ); expect(errorThrowingFunction).toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot(); expect(errorThrowingFunction).toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot( `Error Message`, ); ``` ## When Not To Use It Don't use this rule on non-jest test files.
