      # Example (1)
  testifylint:
    disable-all: true
    enable:
      - bool-compare
      - compares
      - empty
      - error-is-as
      - error-nil
      - expected-actual
      - go-require
      - float-compare
      - len
      - nil-compare
      - require-error
      # - suite-dont-use-pkg
      - suite-extra-assert-call
      - suite-thelper
      # Example (2)
