Hi @Diego_Surita,

welcome to the community. Following the PHPUnit documentation the global function wrappers would allow just the use of assertTrue() which would follow the Clean Code strategy. Nevertheless, this rule should not apply to test code in general. To just run PHPUnit-related rules on your test code, you have to configure your project to help SonarLint understanding what’s your main code and what’s your test code. Just look for Test File Pattern in the SonarLint configuration in VSCode.

Best,
Nils
