Favor modifier unless
usage when having a single-line body. Another good alternative is the usage of control flow &&

. Open

Checks for if and unless statements that would fit on one line
if written as a modifier if/unless. The maximum line length is
configured in the Metrics/LineLength
cop.
Example:
# bad
if condition
do_stuff(bar)
end
unless qux.empty?
Foo.do_something
end
# good
do_stuff(bar) if condition
Foo.do_something unless qux.empty?
Prefer single-quoted strings when you don't need string interpolation or special symbols. Open
desc "Only run on the first application instance"
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Checks if uses of quotes match the configured preference.
Example: EnforcedStyle: single_quotes (default)
# bad
"No special symbols"
"No string interpolation"
"Just text"
# good
'No special symbols'
'No string interpolation'
'Just text'
"Wait! What's #{this}!"
Example: EnforcedStyle: double_quotes
# bad
'Just some text'
'No special chars or interpolation'
# good
"Just some text"
"No special chars or interpolation"
"Every string in #{project} uses double_quotes"
Use ServerEnv.instance_index.zero?
instead of ServerEnv.instance_index == 0
. Open

This cop checks for usage of comparison operators (==
,
>
, <
) to test numbers as zero, positive, or negative.
These can be replaced by their respective predicate methods.
The cop can also be configured to do the reverse.
The cop disregards #nonzero?
as it its value is truthy or falsey,
but not true
and false
, and thus not always interchangeable with
!= 0
.
The cop ignores comparisons to global variables, since they are often
populated with objects which can be compared with integers, but are
not themselves Interger
polymorphic.
Example: EnforcedStyle: predicate (default)
# bad
foo == 0
0 > foo
bar.baz > 0
# good
foo.zero?
foo.negative?
bar.baz.positive?
Example: EnforcedStyle: comparison
# bad
foo.zero?
foo.negative?
bar.baz.positive?
# good
foo == 0
0 > foo
bar.baz > 0
