Overview

Checks for uses of literal strings converted to a symbol where a literal symbol could be used instead.

There are two possible styles for this cop. strict (default) will register an offense for any incorrect usage. consistent additionally requires hashes to use the same style for every symbol key (ie. if any symbol key needs to be quoted it requires all keys to be quoted).

Examples:

# bad
'string'.to_sym
:symbol.to_sym
'underscored_string'.to_sym
:'underscored_symbol'
'hyphenated-string'.to_sym
"string_#{interpolation}".to_sym

# good
:string
:symbol
:underscored_string
:underscored_symbol
:'hyphenated-string'
:"string_#{interpolation}"

EnforcedStyle: strict (default)

# bad
{
  'a': 1,
  "b": 2,
  'c-d': 3
}

# good (don't quote keys that don't require quoting)
{
  a: 1,
  b: 2,
  'c-d': 3
}

EnforcedStyle: consistent

# bad
{
  a: 1,
  'b-c': 2
}

# good (quote all keys if any need quoting)
{
  'a': 1,
  'b-c': 2
}

# good (no quoting required)
{
  a: 1,
  b: 2
}

#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,
