The following patterns is considered warning:

it('promises a person', () => {
  api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Bob');
  });
});

it('promises a counted person', () => {
  const promise = api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Bob');
  });

  promise.then(() => {
    expect(analytics.gottenPeopleCount).toBe(1);
  });
});

it('promises multiple people', () => {
  const firstPromise = api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Bob');
  });
  const secondPromise = api.getPersonByName('alice').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Alice');
  });

  return Promise.any([firstPromise, secondPromise]);
});

The following pattern is not warning:

it('promises a person', async () => {
  await api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Bob');
  });
});

it('promises a counted person', () => {
  let promise = api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {
    expect(person).toHaveProperty('name', 'Bob');
  });

  promise = promise.then(() => {
    expect(analytics.gottenPeopleCount).toBe(1);
  });

  return promise;
});

it('promises multiple people', () => {
  const firstPromise = api.getPersonByName('bob').then(person => {

  });
  const secondPromise = api.getPersonByName('alice').then(person => {
