Pattern: Use of match_array

Issue: -

Description

Checks where match_array is used.

This rule checks for the following:

• Prefer contain_exactly when matching an array with values.
• Prefer eq when using match_array with an empty array literal.

Examples

# bad
it { is_expected.to match_array([content1, content2]) }

# good
it { is_expected.to contain_exactly(content1, content2) }

# good
it { is_expected.to match_array([content] + array) }

# good
it { is_expected.to match_array(%w(tremble in fear foolish mortals)) }
