### What it does

The rule disallows importing any Vitest global functions.

### Why is this bad?

If a project is [configured to provide Vitest functions as globals](https://vitest.dev/config/globals.html),
this rule can be used to ensure that the globals are never imported
via `import` or `require`.

Note that this rule should *not* be used if the `globals` config
option is set to `false` in Vitest (`false` is the default configuration).

### Examples

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```js
import { test, expect } from "vitest";

test("foo", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```

```js
const { test, expect } = require("vitest");

test("foo", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```js
test("foo", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```

## How to use

## Version
