This cop checks if the length of a method exceeds some maximum value. Comment lines can optionally be ignored. The maximum allowed length is configurable.

Cognitive Complexity

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.

A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:

• Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
• Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
• Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Check that the keys, separators, and values of a multi-line hash literal are aligned according to configuration. The configuration options are:

- key (left align keys, one space before hash rockets and values)
- separator (align hash rockets and colons, right align keys)
- table (left align keys, hash rockets, and values)

The treatment of hashes passed as the last argument to a method call can also be configured. The options are:

- always_inspect
- always_ignore
- ignore_implicit (without curly braces)

Alternatively you can specify multiple allowed styles. That's done by passing a list of styles to EnforcedStyles.

Example: EnforcedHashRocketStyle: key (default)

# bad
{
  :foo => bar,
   :ba => baz
}
{
  :foo => bar,
  :ba  => baz
}

# good
{
  :foo => bar,
  :ba => baz
}

Example: EnforcedHashRocketStyle: separator

# bad
{
  :foo => bar,
  :ba => baz
}
{
  :foo => bar,
  :ba  => baz
}

# good
{
  :foo => bar,
   :ba => baz
}

Example: EnforcedHashRocketStyle: table

# bad
{
  :foo => bar,
   :ba => baz
}

# good
{
  :foo => bar,
  :ba  => baz
}

Example: EnforcedColonStyle: key (default)

# bad
{
  foo: bar,
   ba: baz
}
{
  foo: bar,
  ba:  baz
}

# good
{
  foo: bar,
  ba: baz
}

Example: EnforcedColonStyle: separator

# bad
{
  foo: bar,
  ba: baz
}

# good
{
  foo: bar,
   ba: baz
}

Example: EnforcedColonStyle: table

# bad
{
  foo: bar,
  ba: baz
}

# good
{
  foo: bar,
  ba:  baz
}

Example: EnforcedLastArgumentHashStyle: always_inspect (default)

# Inspect both implicit and explicit hashes.

# bad
do_something(foo: 1,
  bar: 2)

# bad
do_something({foo: 1,
  bar: 2})

# good
do_something(foo: 1,
             bar: 2)

# good
do_something(
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
)

# good
do_something({foo: 1,
              bar: 2})

# good
do_something({
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
})

Example: EnforcedLastArgumentHashStyle: always_ignore

# Ignore both implicit and explicit hashes.

# good
do_something(foo: 1,
  bar: 2)

# good
do_something({foo: 1,
  bar: 2})

Example: EnforcedLastArgumentHashStyle: ignore_implicit

# Ignore only implicit hashes.

# bad
do_something({foo: 1,
  bar: 2})

# good
do_something(foo: 1,
  bar: 2)

Example: EnforcedLastArgumentHashStyle: ignore_explicit

# Ignore only explicit hashes.

# bad
do_something(foo: 1,
  bar: 2)

# good
do_something({foo: 1,
  bar: 2})

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 Integer 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
