 # Enforce consistent use of `output` assertions in rule tests (consistent-output)
 
-✔️ The `"extends": "plugin:eslint-plugin/recommended"` property in a configuration file enables this rule.
-
 When writing tests for fixable rules, it's a best practice to use the `output` property on each test case to assert what autofixed code is produced, or to assert that no autofix is produced using `output: null`.
 
 Prior to ESLint 7, it was easy to forget to assert the autofix output of a particular test case, resulting in incomplete test coverage and a greater chance of unexpected behavior / bugs.

 When using `meta.messages` and `messageId` to report rule violations, it's possible to mistakenly use a `messageId` that doesn't exist in `meta.messages`.

+✔️ The `"extends": "plugin:eslint-plugin/recommended"` property in a configuration file enables this rule.
+
 When reporting a rule violation, it's preferred to provide the violation message with the `messageId` property instead of the `message` property. Message IDs provide the following benefits:
 
 * Rule violation messages can be stored in a central `meta.messages` object for convenient management

 ⚒️ The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#--fix) can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.
 
 Instead of repeating the test case `code`, using `output: null` is more concise and makes it easier to distinguish whether a test case provides an autofix.
