Overview

Enforces consistent style for empty class definitions.

This cop can enforce either a standard class definition or Class.new for classes with no body.

The supported styles are:

  • class_definition (default) - prefer standard class definition over Class.new

  • class_new - prefer Class.new over class definition

One difference between the two styles is that the Class.new form does not make the subclass name available to the base class’s inherited callback. For this reason, EnforcedStyle: class_definition is set as the default style. Class definitions without a superclass, which are not involved in inheritance, are not detected. This ensures safe detection regardless of the applied style. This avoids overlapping responsibilities with the Lint/EmptyClass cop.

Examples:

EnforcedStyle: class_keyword (default)

# bad
FooError = Class.new(StandardError)

# okish
class FooError < StandardError; end

# good
class FooError < StandardError
end

EnforcedStyle: class_new

# bad
class FooError < StandardError
end

# bad
class FooError < StandardError; end

# good
FooError = Class.new(StandardError)

#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,
