Class: RuboCop::Formatter::BaseFormatter

Overview

Abstract base class for formatter, implements all public API methods.

Creating Custom Formatter

You can create a custom formatter by subclassing RuboCop::Formatter::BaseFormatter and overriding some methods or by implementing all the methods by duck typing.

Using Custom Formatter in Command Line

You can tell RuboCop to use your custom formatter with a combination of --format and --require option. For example, when you have defined MyCustomFormatter in ./path/to/my_custom_formatter.rb, you would type this command:

rubocop --require ./path/to/my_custom_formatter --format MyCustomFormatter

Note: The path passed to --require is directly passed to Kernel.require. If your custom formatter file is not in $LOAD_PATH, you need to specify the path as relative path prefixed with ./ explicitly or absolute path.

Method Invocation Order

For example, when RuboCop inspects 2 files, the invocation order should be like this:

  • #initialize

  • #started

  • #file_started

  • #file_finished

  • #file_started

  • #file_finished

  • #finished
