Change AssertEmptyLiteral cop to check for assert_equal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While this cop is correct that we should be using `assert_empty(list)`
over `assert([], list)`, it's right for the wrong reasons. That example
is bad because it's using `assert` and not `assert_equal`. An empty
list/hash is truthy so the assertion will always succeed. That is,
`assert([], [1, 2, 3])` will succeed even though at a glance it looks
like it shouldn't. I believe that what this cop is intending to check
for is `assert_equal([], list)` instead so I've updated the references
to `assert` to `assert_equal`.

Issue rubocop#117 proposes that we try to detect when `assert` is used where
the user likely wanted `assert_equal` so while this cop will no longer
register a violation for `assert([], list)`, if that proposal is
accepted then a future cop *will* register a violation.
