Overview

Checks for an array literal interpolated inside a regexp.

When interpolating an array literal, it is converted to a string. This means that when inside a regexp, it acts as a character class but with additional quotes, spaces and commas that are likely not intended. For example, /#{%w[a b c]}/ parses as /["a", "b", "c"]/ (or /["a, bc]/ without repeated characters).

The cop can autocorrect to a character class (if all items in the array are a single character) or alternation (if the array contains longer items).

Note
This only considers interpolated arrays that contain only strings, symbols, integers, and floats. Any other type is not easily convertible to a character class or regexp alternation.

Examples:

# bad
/#{%w[a b c]}/

# good
/[abc]/

# bad
/#{%w[foo bar baz]}/

# good
/(?:foo|bar|baz)/

# bad - construct a regexp rather than interpolate an array of identifiers
/#{[foo, bar]}/

Cop Safety Information:

  • Autocorrection is unsafe because it will change the regexp pattern, by removing the additional quotes, spaces and commas from the character class.

.gem_requirements, .lint?,
.support_autocorrect?

Returns if class supports autocorrect.

.support_multiple_source?

Override if your cop should be called repeatedly for multiple investigations Between calls to on_new_investigation and on_investigation_end, the result of processed_source will remain constant.

.documentation_url

Returns a url to view this cops documentation online.

.exclude_from_registry

Call for abstract Cop classes.

::RuboCop::Cop::Interpolation - Included

::RuboCop::Cop::Base - Inherited

#add_global_offense

Adds an offense that has no particular location.

#add_offense

Adds an offense on the specified range (or node with an expression) Unless that offense is disabled for this range, a corrector will be yielded to provide the cop the opportunity to autocorrect the offense.

#begin_investigation

Called before any investigation.

#callbacks_needed,
#cop_config

Configuration Helpers.

#cop_name, #excluded_file?,
#external_dependency_checksum

This method should be overridden when a cop’s behavior depends on state that lives outside of these locations:

#inspect,
#message

Gets called if no message is specified when calling add_offense or add_global_offense Cops are discouraged to override this; instead pass your message directly.

#name

Alias for Base#cop_name.

#offenses,
#on_investigation_end

Called after all on_…​

#on_new_investigation

Called before all on_…​

#on_other_file

Called instead of all on_…​

#parse

There should be very limited reasons for a Cop to do it’s own parsing.

#parser_engine,
#ready

Called between investigations.

#relevant_file?,
#target_gem_version

Returns a gems locked versions (i.e.

#target_rails_version, #target_ruby_version, #annotate, #apply_correction, #attempt_correction,
#callback_argument

Reserved for Cop::Cop.

#complete_investigation

Called to complete an investigation.

#correct, #current_corrector,
#current_offense_locations

Reserved for Commissioner:

#current_offenses, #currently_disabled_lines, #custom_severity, #default_severity, #disable_uncorrectable, #enabled_line?, #file_name_matches_any?, #find_message, #find_severity, #range_for_original, #range_from_node_or_range,
#reset_investigation
