Defined in: lib/rubocop/cop/style/send_with_literal_method_name.rb

Overview

Detects the use of the public_send method with a literal method name argument. Since the send method can be used to call private methods, by default, only the public_send method is detected.

Note
Writer methods with names ending in = are always permitted because their behavior differs as follows:
def foo=(foo)
  @foo = foo
  42
end

self.foo = 1   # => 1
send(:foo=, 1) # => 42

Examples:

# bad
obj.public_send(:method_name)
obj.public_send('method_name')

# good
obj.method_name

AllowSend: true (default)

# good
obj.send(:method_name)
obj.send('method_name')
obj.__send__(:method_name)
obj.__send__('method_name')

AllowSend: false

# bad
obj.send(:method_name)
obj.send('method_name')
obj.__send__(:method_name)
obj.__send__('method_name')

# good
obj.method_name

Cop Safety Information:

  • This cop is not safe because it can incorrectly detect based on the receiver. Additionally, when AllowSend is set to true, it cannot determine whether the send method being detected is calling a private method.

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_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.
