Overview

Checks for redundant argument forwarding when calling super with arguments identical to the method definition.

Using zero arity super within a define_method block results in RuntimeError:

def m
  define_method(:foo) { super() } # => OK
end

def m
  define_method(:foo) { super }   # => RuntimeError
end

Furthermore, any arguments accompanied by a block may potentially be delegating to define_method, therefore, super used within these blocks will be allowed. This approach might result in false negatives, yet ensuring safe detection takes precedence.

Examples:

# bad
def method(*args, **kwargs)
  super(*args, **kwargs)
end

# good - implicitly passing all arguments
def method(*args, **kwargs)
  super
end

# good - forwarding a subset of the arguments
def method(*args, **kwargs)
  super(*args)
end

# good - forwarding no arguments
def method(*args, **kwargs)
  super()
end

# good - assigning to the block variable before calling super
def method(&block)
  # Assigning to the block variable would pass the old value to super,
  # under this circumstance the block must be referenced explicitly.
  block ||= proc { 'fallback behavior' }
  super(&block)
end

.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.

.autocorrect_incompatible_with

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.

.match?

Returns true if the cop name or the cop namespace matches any of the given names.

::RuboCop::ExcludeLimit - Extended

exclude_limit

Sets up a configuration option to have an exclude limit tracked.

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.
