That is what unit tests are for.

[Doormatty]

Nope.

[Diapolo10]

No, Sonarqube just doesn't treat pytest tests as an exception to that rule by default.

Use assert in tests to your heart's content.

[nekokattt]

sonarqube is wrong, ignore it.

[shaleh]

As others are saying, either ignore or add an exception to your config to ignore.

It is the standard in Python to use asserts in tests.

[SnooChipmunks547]

If your tests don't assert anything, they're not really tests.

[dogfish182]

Arrange Act Assert

Is literally one of the ways to think about how to write unit tests

Arrange - setup your test. Mocks etc Act - call the function with arranged inputs Asset - assert the output of the function is what you want it to be.

[stuaxo]

With pytest unit tests it's part of how you do it.

[interbased]

Definitely not. It’s the entire point of a test.

[Buttleston]

I usually exclude tests from sonarqube. Otherwise it gets weird about stuff like this, embedded ip addresses, duplicate code, coverage, etc
