== Why is this an issue?
When using testing frameworks like Mocha and Jest, appending `.only()` to the test function allows running a single test case for a file. Using `.only()` means no other test from this file is executed. This is useful when debugging a specific use case.
[source,javascript]
----
describe("MyClass", function () {
it.only("should run correctly", function () {
/*...*/
});
});
----
However, it should not be used in production or development, as it is likely a leftover from debugging and serves no purpose in those contexts. It is strongly recommended not to include `.only()` usages in version control.
[source,javascript]
----
describe("MyClass", function () {
it("should run correctly", function () {
/*...*/
});
