What it reports

Trivially true test assertion at line {line}. This test always passes regardless of the code under test and provides zero confidence. Write a real assertion that can actually fail when the implementation is broken.

Flagged

expect(true).toBe(true);

assert.ok(true);

Not flagged

expect(sum(1, 2)).toBe(3);

Pattern

(expect\(true\)\.(toBe|toEqual|toStrictEqual)\(true\)|expect\(1\)\.(toBe|toEqual)\(1\)|assert\.equal\(true,\s*true\)|assert\.ok\(true\)|assert\.isTrue\(true\))
