UnnecessaryBooleanAssertion


UnnecessaryBooleanAssertion
A JUnit test assertion with a boolean literal is unnecessary since it always will eval to the same thing.
Consider using flow control (in case of assertTrue(false) or similar) or simply removing
statements like assertTrue(true) and assertFalse(false).  If you just want a test to halt, use the fail method.
      
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
        
//StatementExpression
[
.//Name[@Image='assertTrue' or  @Image='assertFalse']
and
PrimaryExpression/PrimarySuffix/Arguments/ArgumentList
 /Expression/PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix
  /Literal/BooleanLiteral
or
(
.//Name[@Image='assertTrue' or  @Image='assertFalse']
and
PrimaryExpression/PrimarySuffix/Arguments/ArgumentList
 /Expression/UnaryExpressionNotPlusMinus[@Image='!']
/PrimaryExpression/PrimaryPrefix[Literal/BooleanLiteral or Name[count(../../*)=1]])
]
[ancestor::ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration[//ClassOrInterfaceType[typeof(@Image, 'junit.framework.TestCase','TestCase')] or //MarkerAnnotation/Name[typeof(@Image, 'org.junit.Test', 'Test')]]]

              
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    

public class SimpleTest extends TestCase {
 public void testX() {
  // Why on earth would you write this?
  assertTrue(true);
 }
}
