False positive - tests must include statements - S2699

We have a lot of code (not all) reporting an issue that does not have an assert, but exists in the test method.

Example code that gets the violation:

@Test
public void successfullValidation() throws ErrorInfo_Exception {
   AgencyInfoServiceResponse agencyResponse = new AgencyInfoServiceResponse();
   AgencyInfoServiceResponseHeader header = new AgencyInfoServiceResponseHeader();
   header.setCmdStatus("Success");
   header.setCmdType("response");
   agencyResponse.setAgencyInfoServiceResponseHeader(header);
   assertTrue(validator.validate(agencyResponse));
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

But if I pull the validator into a variable and assertTrue into a variable, then the violation goes away. Import assertTrue:import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

I am using SonarQube 6.4.0.25310 with SonarJava 4.10.0.10260.

Why does he say that I have no statements?
