### What it does

This rule enforces a line of padding before and after 1 or more
`afterAll` statements.

### Why is this bad?

Inconsistent formatting of code can make the code more difficult to read
and follow. This rule helps ensure that `afterAll` blocks are visually
separated from the rest of the code, making them easier to identify while
looking through test files.

### Examples

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

```js
const thing = 123;
afterAll(() => {});
```

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

```js
const thing = 123;

afterAll(() => {});
```

## How to use

## Version

This rule was added in v1.59.0.
