Overview

Checks for redundant safe navigation calls. Use cases where a constant, named in camel case for classes and modules is nil are rare, and an offense is not detected when the receiver is a constant. The detection also applies to self, and to literal receivers, except for nil.

For all receivers, the instance_of?, kind_of?, is_a?, eql?, respond_to?, and equal? methods are checked by default. These are customizable with ::RuboCop::Cop::AllowedMethods option.

The ::RuboCop::Cop::AllowedMethods option specifies nil-safe methods, in other words, it is a method that is allowed to skip safe navigation. Note that the AllowedMethod option is not an option that specifies methods for which to suppress (allow) this cop’s check.

In the example below, the safe navigation operator (&.) is unnecessary because NilClass has methods like respond_to? and is_a?.

Examples:

# bad
CamelCaseConst&.do_something

# good
CamelCaseConst.do_something

# bad
do_something if attrs&.respond_to?(:[])

# good
do_something if attrs.respond_to?(:[])

# bad
while node&.is_a?(BeginNode)
  node = node.parent
end

# good
while node.is_a?(BeginNode)
  node = node.parent
end

# good - without {&.} this will always return {true}
foo&.respond_to?(:to_a)

# bad - for `nil`s conversion methods return default values for the type
foo&.to_h || {}
foo&.to_h { |k, v| [k, v] } || {}
foo&.to_a || []
foo&.to_i || 0
foo&.to_f || 0.0
foo&.to_s || ''

# good
foo.to_h
foo.to_h { |k, v| [k, v] }
foo.to_a
foo.to_i
foo.to_f
foo.to_s

# bad
self&.foo

# good
self.foo

AllowedMethods: [nil_safe_method]

# bad
do_something if attrs&.nil_safe_method(:[])

# good
do_something if attrs.nil_safe_method(:[])
do_something if attrs&.not_nil_safe_method(:[])

Cop Safety Information:

  • This cop is unsafe, because autocorrection can change the return type of the expression. An offending expression that previously could return nil will be autocorrected to never return nil.

#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,

#complete_investigation

Called to complete an investigation.
