Overview

Checks for useless OR (|| and or) expressions.

Some methods always return a truthy value, even when called on nil (e.g. nil.to_i evaluates to 0). Therefore, OR expressions appended after these methods will never evaluate.

Examples:

# bad
x.to_a || fallback
x.to_c || fallback
x.to_d || fallback
x.to_i || fallback
x.to_f || fallback
x.to_h || fallback
x.to_r || fallback
x.to_s || fallback
x.to_sym || fallback
x.intern || fallback
x.inspect || fallback
x.hash || fallback
x.object_id || fallback
x.__id__ || fallback

x.to_s or fallback

# good - if fallback is same as return value of method called on nil
x.to_a # nil.to_a returns []
x.to_c # nil.to_c returns (0+0i)
x.to_d # nil.to_d returns 0.0
x.to_i # nil.to_i returns 0
x.to_f # nil.to_f returns 0.0
x.to_h # nil.to_h returns {}
x.to_r # nil.to_r returns (0/1)
x.to_s # nil.to_s returns ''
x.to_sym # nil.to_sym raises an error
x.intern # nil.intern raises an error
x.inspect # nil.inspect returns "nil"
x.hash # nil.hash returns an Integer
x.object_id # nil.object_id returns an Integer
x.__id__ # nil.object_id returns an Integer

# good - if the intention is not to call the method on nil
x&.to_a || fallback
x&.to_c || fallback
x&.to_d || fallback
x&.to_i || fallback
x&.to_f || fallback
x&.to_h || fallback
x&.to_r || fallback
x&.to_s || fallback
x&.to_sym || fallback
x&.intern || fallback
x&.inspect || fallback
x&.hash || fallback
x&.object_id || fallback
x&.__id__ || fallback

x&.to_s or fallback

.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.

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

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.

Instance Attribute Summary

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_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

Actually private methods.
