Overview

Enforces consistency between return nil and return.

This cop is disabled by default. Because there seems to be a perceived semantic difference between return and return nil. The former can be seen as just halting evaluation, while the latter might be used when the return value is of specific concern.

Supported styles are return and return_nil.

Examples:

EnforcedStyle: return (default)

# bad
def foo(arg)
  return nil if arg
end

# good
def foo(arg)
  return if arg
end

EnforcedStyle: return_nil

# bad
def foo(arg)
  return if arg
end

# good
def foo(arg)
  return nil if arg
end

#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.
