xUnit2010

"Do not use boolean check to check for string equality"

Cause

A violation of this rule occurs when Assert.True or Assert.False are used with string.Equals to check if two strings are equal.

Reason for rule

Assert.Equal or Assert.Equal should be used because they give more detailed information upon failure.

How to fix violations

Replace Assert.True with Assert.Equal and/or Assert.False with Assert.NotEqual.

Examples

Violates

using Xunit;

public class xUnit2010
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    {
        var result = "foo bar baz";

        Assert.True(string.Equals("foo bar baz", result));
    }
}

Does not violate

using Xunit;

public class xUnit2010
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestMethod()
    {
        var result = "foo bar baz";

        Assert.Equal("foo bar baz", result);
    }
}
