describe.skip(name, fn)

Also under the alias: xdescribe(name, fn)

You can use describe.skip if you do not want to run a particular describe block:

describe('my beverage', () => { test('is delicious', () => { expect(myBeverage.delicious).toBeTruthy(); }); test('is not sour', () => { expect(myBeverage.sour).toBeFalsy(); }); }); describe.skip('my other beverage', () => { // ... will be skipped });

Using describe.skip is often a cleaner alternative to temporarily commenting out a chunk of tests.
