Overview

Checks for missing documentation comment for public methods. It can optionally be configured to also require documentation for non-public methods.

Note
 This cop allows initialize method because initialize is a special method called from new. In some programming languages they are called constructor to distinguish it from method.

Examples:

# bad

class Foo
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

module Foo
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

def foo.bar
  puts baz
end

# good

class Foo
  # Documentation
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

module Foo
  # Documentation
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

# Documentation
def foo.bar
  puts baz
end

RequireForNonPublicMethods: false (default)

# good
class Foo
  protected
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  def do_something
  end
end

RequireForNonPublicMethods: true

# bad
class Foo
  protected
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  def do_something
  end
end

# good
class Foo
  protected
  # Documentation
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  # Documentation
  def do_something
  end
end

#add_global_offense

Adds an offense that has no particular location.

This method should be overridden when a cop’s behavior depends on state that lives outside of these locations:
#inspect,

Called after all on_…​
#on_new_investigation

Called before all on_…​
