DRY (don't repeat yourself) when writing tests

https://github.com/kleros/kleros-interaction/blob/master/test/multiple-arbitrable-transaction.js

Repeated 26 times:

const lastTransaction = await getLastTransaction

This surely can be extracted as an individual function?

Or use beforeEach block?

Redundancy and repeating in tests is fine. Tests should be the less abstact possible.

[marsrobertson]

The code is repeated so many times.

1. Is each of the functions exactly the same?

2. It's more lines, more things to analyze.

[clesaege]

Yeah, it makes it harder to miss something when writing it. You don't need to analyse tests, if you want more security you can make other ones as tests handles redundancy well.
