Suggests having the name of a test invocation or test group as its first argument.

Example

❌ Bad:

void main() {
  // LINT: The name of a test or group should go before the other arguments.
  //  Try moving the name above other arguments.
  test(() {
    final array = [1, 2, 3];
    expect(array, hasLength(1));
  }, 'some test');

  // LINT: The name of a test or group should go before the other arguments.
  //  Try moving the name above other arguments.
  group(skip: true, 'some group', () {
    test('some test', () {
      final array = [1, 2, 3];
      expect(array, hasLength(1));
    });
  });
}

✅ Good:

void main() {
  test('some test', () {
    final array = [1, 2, 3];
    expect(array, hasLength(1));
  });

  group('some group', skip: true, () {
    test('some test', () {
      final array = [1, 2, 3];
      expect(array, hasLength(1));
    });
  });
}
