xUnit2020 - Xunit — ContextQMD

Cause

This rule is triggered by using Assert.True(false, "message") or Assert.False(true, "message").

Reason for rule

xUnit.net v2 2.5 introduced Assert.Fail("message") for this purpose. If you are using v2 2.5 or later, this rule will trigger (if you're using an older version, it will not trigger).

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, you should use Assert.Fail.

Examples

    }
}

csharp

public class xUnit2020
{
    [Fact]
