This cop checks if the length of a block exceeds some maximum value. Comment lines can optionally be ignored. The maximum allowed length is configurable. The cop can be configured to ignore blocks passed to certain methods.
Avoid using touch
because it skips validations. Open
on_transition { touch } # sets updated_at; https://github.com/geekq/workflow/issues/96
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for the use of methods which skip validations which are listed in http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations.html#skipping-validations
Example:
# bad
Article.first.decrement!(:view_count)
DiscussionBoard.decrement_counter(:post_count, 5)
Article.first.increment!(:view_count)
DiscussionBoard.increment_counter(:post_count, 5)
person.toggle :active
product.touch
Billing.update_all("category = 'authorized', author = 'David'")
user.update_attribute(website: 'example.com')
user.update_columns(last_request_at: Time.current)
Post.update_counters 5, comment_count: -1, action_count: 1
# good
user.update_attributes(website: 'example.com')
FileUtils.touch('file')

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 29.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.
See codeclimate-duplication
's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml
.

# Some comment and an empty line

This cop transforms usages of a method call safeguarded by a non nil
check for the variable whose method is being called to
safe navigation (&.
).
Configuration option: ConvertCodeThatCanStartToReturnNil
The default for this is false
. When configured to true
, this will
check for code in the format !foo.nil? && foo.bar
. As it is written,
the return of this code is limited to false
and whatever the return
of the method is. If this is converted to safe navigation,
foo&.bar
can start returning nil
as well as what the method
returns.
Example:
# bad
foo.bar if foo
foo.bar(param1, param2) if foo
foo.bar { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar(param) { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar if !foo.nil?
foo.bar unless !foo
foo.bar unless foo.nil?
foo && foo.bar
foo && foo.bar(param1, param2)
foo && foo.bar { |e| e.something }
foo && foo.bar(param) { |e| e.something }
# good
foo&.bar
foo&.bar(param1, param2)
foo&.bar { |e| e.something }
foo&.bar(param) { |e| e.something }
foo.nil? || foo.bar
!foo || foo.bar
# Methods that `nil` will `respond_to?` should not be converted to
# use safe navigation
foo.to_i if foo
