Overview

Checks for nested method definitions.

Examples:

# bad

# {bar} definition actually produces methods in the same scope
# as the outer {foo} method. Furthermore, the {bar} method
# will be redefined every time {foo} is invoked.
def foo
  def bar
  end
end

# good

def foo
  bar = -> { puts 'hello' }
  bar.call
end

# good

# {class_eval}, {instance_eval}, {module_eval}, {class_exec}, {instance_exec}, and
# {module_exec} blocks are allowed by default.

def foo
  self.class.class_eval do
    def bar
    end
  end
end

def foo
  self.class.module_exec do
    def bar
    end
  end
end

# good

def foo
  class << self
    def bar
    end
  end
end

AllowedMethods: [] (default)

# bad
def do_something
  has_many :articles do
    def find_or_create_by_name(name)
    end
  end
end

AllowedMethods: ['has_many']

# bad
def do_something
  has_many :articles do
    def find_or_create_by_name(name)
    end
  end
end

AllowedPatterns: [] (default)

# bad
def foo(obj)
  obj.do_baz do
    def bar
    end
  end
end

AllowedPatterns: ['baz']

# good
def foo(obj)
  obj.do_baz do
    def bar
    end
  end
end

Naming.

.callbacks_needed, .cop_name, .department,
.documentation_url

Returns a url to view this cops documentation online.

.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.

::RuboCop::Cop::AllowedPattern - Included

::RuboCop::Cop::AllowedMethods - 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_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

Actually private methods.
