lintr (version 3.1.2)

expect_true_false_linter: Require usage of expect_true(x) over expect_equal(x, TRUE)

Description

testthat::expect_true() and testthat::expect_false() exist specifically for testing the TRUE/FALSE value of an object. testthat::expect_equal() and testthat::expect_identical() can also be used for such tests, but it is better to use the tailored function instead.

Usage

expect_true_false_linter()

  linters = expect_true_false_linter()
)

# okay
lint(
  text = "expect_true(x)",
  linters = expect_true_false_linter()
)

lint(
  text = "expect_false(x)",
  linters = expect_true_false_linter()
