It is very easy to write incomplete assertions when using some test frameworks. This rule enforces complete Chai assertions in the following cases:
* when ``++assert.fail++``, ``++expect.fail++`` or ``++should.fail++`` are present but not called.
* when an ``++expect(...)++`` or ``++should++`` assertion is not followed by an assertion method, such as ``++equal++``.
* when an ``++expect++`` or ``++should++`` assertion ends with a https://www.chaijs.com/api/bdd/#method_language-chains[chainable getters], such as ``++.that++``, or a modifier, such as ``++.deep++``.
* when an ``++expect++`` or ``++should++`` assertion function, such as ``++.throw++``, is not called.
In such cases, what is intended to be a test doesn't actually verify anything
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
const assert = require('chai').assert;
const expect = require('chai').expect;
describe("incomplete assertions", function() {
const value = 42;
it("uses chai 'assert'", function() {
assert.fail; // Noncompliant
});
it("uses chai 'expect'", function() {
expect(1 == 1); // Noncompliant
expect(value.toString).to.throw; // Noncompliant
});
});

== Compliant Solution
----
const assert = require('chai').assert;
const expect = require('chai').expect;
describe("incomplete assertions", function() {
const value = 42;
it("uses chai 'assert'", function() {
assert.fail();
});
it("uses chai 'expect'", function() {
expect(1).to.equal(1);
expect(value.toString).throw(TypeError);
});
});
