New Rule: enforce messages on assert calls

[rockingskier]

Rule details

Node's assert functions allow for passing in an optional message.
I'd like a way to enforce passing in that message.

For example, assert takes a value and an optional message.

assert(foo);
assert(foo, 'Foo is required')

Syncing between error logs and code is far easier when your error message is Foo is required rather than undefined == true

What type of rule is this?

Warns about a potential problem

Example code

// Error/warn
assert(foo);
assert.equal(foo, bar);

// Good
assert(foo, 'Foo is required');
assert.equal(foo, bar, 'Foo and Bar are not equal');

Participation

• I am willing to submit a pull request to implement this rule.
