There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you for your work. But I believe this change is not appropriate, as the offense message does not apply when aggregate_failures: false is used.

No problem, i get that. Would adapting the message conditionally make you reconsider? EDIT: Just made a small commit to show the message conditionally, I leave weather it's worth or not to your appreciation. Best ! |

Summary
This PR improves the RSpec/MultipleExpectations cop error message to proactively suggest using aggregate_failures as an alternative to splitting specs.
Before:
Example has too many expectations [2/1].After:
Example has too many expectations [2/1]. Consider using `aggregate_failures` if these expectations are logically related.Motivation
Developers often encounter this cop and default to splitting specs without realizing aggregate_failures is available. This enhancement educates users at the point of encounter, improving both developer experience and test suite quality.
Changes
Updated error message in RSpec::MultipleExpectations cop
Updated all test cases to expect the new message format
Fixes #2131
