A NilCheck
is a type check. Failures of NilCheck
violate the "tell, don't ask" principle.
Additionally, type checks often mask bigger problems in your source code like not using OOP and / or polymorphism when you should.
Example
Given
class Klass
def nil_checker(argument)
if argument.nil?
puts "argument isn't nil!"
end
end
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[3]:Klass#nil_checker performs a nil-check. (NilCheck)

A candidate method for the Missing Safe Method
smell are methods whose names end with an exclamation mark.
An exclamation mark in method names means (the explanation below is taken from here ):
The ! in method names that end with ! means, “This method is dangerous”—or, more precisely, this method is the “dangerous” version of an otherwise equivalent method, with the same name minus the !. “Danger” is relative; the ! doesn’t mean anything at all unless the method name it’s in corresponds to a similar but bang-less method name. So, for example, gsub! is the dangerous version of gsub. exit! is the dangerous version of exit. flatten! is the dangerous version of flatten. And so forth.
Such a method is called Missing Safe Method
if and only if her non-bang version does not exist and this method is reported as a smell.
Example
Given
class C
def foo; end
def foo!; end
def bar!; end
end
Reek would report bar!
as Missing Safe Method
smell but not foo!
.
Reek reports this smell only in a class context, not in a module context in order to allow perfectly legit code like this:
class Parent
def foo; end
end
module Dangerous
def foo!; end
end
class Son < Parent
include Dangerous
end
class Daughter < Parent
end
In this example, Reek would not report the Missing Safe Method
smell for the method foo
of the Dangerous
module.

In general, a Data Clump
occurs when the same two or three items frequently appear together in classes and parameter lists, or when a group of instance variable names start or end with similar substrings.
The recurrence of the items often means there is duplicate code spread around to handle them. There may be an abstraction missing from the code, making the system harder to understand.
Example
Given
class Dummy
def x(y1,y2); end
def y(y1,y2); end
def z(y1,y2); end
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[2, 3, 4]:Dummy takes parameters [y1, y2] to 3 methods (DataClump)
A possible way to fix this problem (quoting from Martin Fowler):
The first step is to replace data clumps with objects and use the objects whenever you see them. An immediate benefit is that you'll shrink some parameter lists. The interesting stuff happens as you begin to look for behavior to move into the new objects.
