This codemod acts upon the following Sonar rules: python:S5905.

An assertion on a non-empty tuple will always evaluate to True. This means that assert statements involving non-empty tuple literals are likely unintentional and should be rewritten. This codemod rewrites the original assert statement by creating a new assert for each item in the original tuple.

The changes from this codemod look like this:

- assert (1 == 1, 2 == 2)
+ assert 1 == 1
+ assert 2 == 2

If you have feedback on this codemod, please let us know!

F.A.Q.​

Why is this codemod marked as Merge After Cursory Review?​

An assert statement on a non-empty tuple is likely unintended and should be rewritten. However, the new change may result in assertion failures that should be reviewed.
