Overview

Checks constructors for disjunctive assignments (||=) that should be plain assignments.

So far, this cop is only concerned with disjunctive assignment of instance variables.

In ruby, an instance variable is nil until a value is assigned, so the disjunction is unnecessary. A plain assignment has the same effect.

Examples:

# bad
def initialize
  @x ||= 1
end

# good
def initialize
  @x = 1
end

Cop Safety Information:

  • This cop is unsafe because it can register a false positive when a method is redefined in a subclass that calls super. For example:

    class Base
      def initialize
        @config ||= 'base'
      end
    end
    
    class Derived < Base
      def initialize
        @config = 'derived'
        super
      end
    end

    Without the disjunctive assignment, Derived will be unable to override the value for @config.

EMPTY_OFFENSES, RESTRICT_ON_SEND

Class Attribute Summary

::RuboCop::Cop::AutoCorrector - Extended

::RuboCop::Cop::Base - Inherited

.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.

.builtin?

Class Method Summary

::RuboCop::Cop::Base - Inherited

.autocorrect_incompatible_with

List of cops that should not try to autocorrect at the same time as this cop.

.badge

Naming.

.callbacks_needed, .cop_name, .department,
.documentation_url

Cops (other than builtin) are encouraged to implement this.

.exclude_from_registry

Call for abstract Cop classes.

.inherited,
.joining_forces

Override and return the Force class(es) you need to join.

.match?

Returns true if the cop name or the cop namespace matches any of the given names.

.new,
.requires_gem

Register a version requirement for the given gem name.

.restrict_on_send

::RuboCop::ExcludeLimit - Extended

exclude_limit

Sets up a configuration option to have an exclude limit tracked.

Instance Method Summary

::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_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, #use_corrector

def check(node)
  return unless node.method?(:initialize)

  check_body(node.body)
end

#check_body(body) (private)

def check_body(body)
  return if body.nil?

  case body.type
  when :begin
    check_body_lines(body.child_nodes)
  else

  end
end

#check_body_lines(lines) (private)

Parameters:

  • lines (Array)

    the logical lines of the constructor

# File 'lib/rubocop/cop/lint/disjunctive_assignment_in_constructor.rb', line 78

def check_body_lines(lines)
  lines.each do |line|
    case line.type
    when :or_asgn
      check_disjunctive_assignment(line)
    else
      # Once we encounter something other than a disjunctive
      # assignment, we cease our investigation, because we can't be
      # certain that any future disjunctive assignments are offensive.
      # You're off the case, detective!
      break
    end
  end
end

#check_disjunctive_assignment(node) (private)

Add an offense if the LHS of the given disjunctive assignment is an instance variable.

For now, we only care about assignments to instance variables.

Parameters:

  lhs = node.child_nodes.first
  return unless lhs.ivasgn_type?

  add_offense(node.loc.operator) do |corrector|
    corrector.replace(node.loc.operator, '=')
  end
end

#on_def(node)
