Duplication occurs when two fragments of code look nearly identical, or when two fragments of code have nearly identical effects at some conceptual level.

Reek implements a check for Duplicate Method Call.

Example

Here's a very much simplified and contrived example. The following method will report a warning:

def double_thing()
  @other.thing + @other.thing
end

One quick approach to silence Reek would be to refactor the code thus:

def double_thing()
  thing = @other.thing
  thing + thing
end

A slightly different approach would be to replace all calls of double_thing by calls to @other.double_thing:

class Other
  def double_thing()
    thing + thing
  end
end

The approach you take will depend on balancing other factors in your code.

Class variables form part of the global runtime state, and as such make it easy for one part of the system to accidentally or inadvertently depend on another part of the system. So the system becomes more prone to problems where changing something over here breaks something over there. In particular, class variables can make it hard to set up tests (because the context of the test includes all global state).

For a detailed explanation, check out this article

Example

Given

class Dummy
  @@class_variable = :whatever
end

Reek would emit the following warning:

reek test.rb

test.rb -- 1 warning:
  [2]:Dummy declares the class variable @@class_variable (ClassVariable)

Getting rid of the smell

You can use class-instance variable to mitigate the problem (as also suggested in the linked article above):

class Dummy
  @class_variable = :whatever
end

A module is usually a mixin, so when an #initialize method is present it is hard to tell initialization order and parameters so having #initialize in a module is usually a bad idea.

Example

The Foo module below contains a method initialize. Although class B inherits from A, the inclusion of Foo stops A#initialize from being called.

class A
  def initialize(a)
    @a = a
  end
end

module Foo
  def initialize(foo)
    @foo = foo
  end
end

class B < A
  include Foo

  def initialize(b)
    super('bar')
    @b = b
  end
end

A simple solution is to rename Foo#initialize and call that method by name:

module Foo
  def setup_foo_module(foo)
    @foo = foo
  end
end

class B < A
  include Foo

  def initialize(b)
    super 'bar'
    setup_foo_module('foo')
    @b = b
  end
end

Classes should not assume that instance variables are set or present outside of the current class definition.

Good:

  def initialize
    @bar = :foo
  end

  def foo?

  end
end

Good as well:

    bar == :foo

  def bar
    @bar ||= :foo

Bad:

  end

  def foo?

end

Example

Running Reek on:

class Dummy
  def test
    @ivar
  end
end

would report:

[1]:InstanceVariableAssumption: Dummy assumes too much for instance variable @ivar

Note that this example would trigger this smell warning as well:

class Parent
  def initialize(omg)
    @omg = omg
  end
end

class Child < Parent
  def foo
    @omg
  end
end

The way to address the smell warning is that you should create an attr_reader to use @omg in the subclass and not access @omg directly like this:

class Parent
  attr_reader :omg

  def initialize(omg)
    @omg = omg
  end
end

class Child < Parent
  def foo
    omg
  end
end

Directly accessing instance variables is considered a smell because it breaks encapsulation and makes it harder to reason about code.

If you don't want to expose those methods as public API just make them private like this:

class Parent
  def initialize(omg)
    @omg = omg
  end

  private
  attr_reader :omg
end

class Child < Parent
  def foo

Current Support in Reek

An instance variable must:

• be set in the constructor
• or be accessed through a method with lazy initialization / memoization.

If not, Instance Variable Assumption will be reported.
