Summary

if i do a map_or(false in an assert!, it suggests i should use a == Some(, but it adds unnecessary parentheses around the expression.

Reproducer

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    let output = Some("test");
    assert!(output.map_or(false, |x| x == "test"));
}

I expected to see this happen:

warning: this `map_or` can be simplified
 --> src/main.rs:3:10
  |
3 |     assert!(output.map_or(false, |x| x == "test"));
  |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#unnecessary_map_or
  = note: `#[warn(clippy::unnecessary_map_or)]` on by default
help: use a standard comparison instead
  |
3 -     assert!(output.map_or(false, |x| x == "test"));
3 +     assert!(output == Some("test"));
  |

warning: `stuff` (bin "stuff") generated 1 warning (run `cargo clippy --fix --bin "stuff"` to apply 1 suggestion)

Instead, this happened:

warning: this `map_or` can be simplified
 --> src/main.rs:3:10
  |
3 |     assert!(output.map_or(false, |x| x == "test"));
  |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

3 -     assert!(output.map_or(false, |x| x == "test"));
3 +     assert!((output == Some("test")));
  |

warning: `stuff` (bin "stuff") generated 1 warning (run `cargo clippy --fix --bin "stuff"` to apply 1 suggestion)

(note the extra parentheses in assert!((output == Some("test")));)
