why is my test skipped on jest

I have this test using jest, but the second method is getting skipped, why?

const stringToTest = JSON.stringify({"filename":"9F6148567F8.jpg","id":"ss9:blob-ref:29e4b813a","diskp":"gotchi","mikoId":"e3f813a","content":"gotchi, 18/08/13 at 11:57 AM"});

describe('regex for uri', () => {

it('should match expected URI', () => {
    expect(matchUriRE.test(stringToTest)).toBe(true);
});

//below method skipped why?
it('should not be bull or undefined'), () => {
    expect(matchUriRE.test(stringToTest)).not.toBeNull;
    expect(matchUriRE.test(stringToTest)).not.toBe(null);
    expect(matchUriRE.test(stringToTest)).not.toBeUndefined();
};
})

with result:

Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
Tests:       1 skipped, 1 passed, 2 total
Solution

  • Simple typo. Remove parenthesis after the test description and place it after closing } on the test.

    it('should not be bull or undefined'), () => {

    Should be

    it('should not be bull or undefined', () => {
