\title{Require usage of \code{expect_length(x, n)} over \code{expect_equal(length(x), n)}}
\usage{
expect_length_linter()
}
\description{
\code{\link[testthat:expect_length]{testthat::expect_length()}} exists specifically for testing the \code{\link[=length]{length()}} of
an object. \code{\link[testthat:equality-expectations]{testthat::expect_equal()}} can also be used for such tests,
but it is better to use the tailored function instead.
}
\examples{
# will produce lints
lint(
  text = "expect_equal(length(x), 2L)",
  linters = expect_length_linter()
)

# okay
lint(
  text = "expect_length(x, 2L)",
  linters = expect_length_linter()
)
