Description
Consider using the constraint model, Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(expected)), instead of the classic model,
ClassicAssert.AreEqual(expected, actual).
Motivation
The classic Assert model, ClassicAssert.AreEqual(expected, actual), makes it easy to mix the expected and the
actual parameter, so this analyzer marks usages of ClassicAssert.AreEqual from the classic Assert model.
[Test]
public void Test()
{
ClassicAssert.AreEqual(expression1, expression2);
}
How to fix violations
The analyzer comes with a code fix that will replace ClassicAssert.AreEqual(expression1, expression2) with
Assert.That(expression2, Is.EqualTo(expression1)). So the code block above will be changed into.
[Test]
public void Test()
{
Assert.That(expression2, Is.EqualTo(expression1));
}
