Redundant unittest assert

The first argument of assertTrue and assertFalse is a condition. If a constant is passed as parameter, that condition will be always true. In this case a warning should be emitted.

Noncompliant Code:

Copy

import unittest
class DummyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_dummy(self):
        value = 'foo'

        self.assertTrue(bool(value) is True)

Compliant Code:

Copy

import unittest
class DummyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_dummy(self):
        value = 'foo'

        self.assertTrue(value)
