Checks for assert_raises
with arguments of regular expression literals.
Arguments should be exception classes.
Optionally the last argument can be a custom message string to help explain failures.
Either way, it’s not the argument that exception.message
is compared to.
The raised exception is returned and can be used
to match against a regular expression.

0.2 |
0.27 |
Enforces the test to use assert(actual)
instead of using assert_equal(true, actual)

Safety
This cop is unsafe because true might be expected instead of truthy. False positives cannot be prevented when this is a variable or method return value.
assert_equal(true, 'truthy') # failure
assert('truthy') # success

Tries to detect when a user accidentally used
assert
when they meant to use assert_equal
.
The second argument to the assert method named message and msg is allowed.
Because their names are inferred as message arguments.

Safety
This cop is unsafe because it is not possible to determine
whether the second argument of assert
is a message or not.

If a Minitest class inherits from another class, it will also inherit its methods causing Minitest to run the parent’s tests methods twice.
This cop detects when there are two tests classes, one inherits from the other, and both have tests methods. This cop will add an offense to the Child class in such a case.
Examples
# bad
class ParentTest < Minitest::Test
def test_parent # it will run this test twice.
end
end
class ChildTest < ParentTest
def test_child
end
end
# good
class ParentTest < Minitest::Test
def test_parent

end
class ChildTest < Minitest::Test

Checks that ensure

may be teardown process to begin
setup process.
