two symbols. It is for expert use only.
Usage
expect_reference(
object,
expected,
info = NULL,
label = NULL,
expected.label = NULL
)Arguments
- object
Computation and value to compare it to.

- expected
Computation and value to compare it to.
Both arguments supports limited unquoting to make it easier to generate readable failures within a function or for loop. See quasi_label for more details.

3rd edition
![[Deprecated]](figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg?package=testthat&version=3.1.4)
expect_reference() is deprecated in the third edition. If you know what
you're doing, and you really need this behaviour, just use is_reference()
directly: expect_true(rlang::is_reference(x, y)).
