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.
Gt06Server::Protocol has no descriptive comment Open
module Protocol
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Classes and modules are the units of reuse and release. It is therefore considered good practice to annotate every class and module with a brief comment outlining its responsibilities.
Example
Given
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[1]:Dummy has no descriptive comment (IrresponsibleModule)
Fixing this is simple - just an explaining comment:
# The Dummy class is responsible for ...
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Gt06Server::Protocol#command_pack has unused parameter 'command' Open
def command_pack(command)
- Read upRead up

Unused Parameter
refers to methods with parameters that are unused in scope of the method.
Having unused parameters in a method is code smell because leaving dead code in a method can never improve the method and it makes the code confusing to read.
Example
Given:
class Klass
def unused_parameters(x,y,z)
puts x,y # but not z
end
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
[2]:Klass#unused_parameters has unused parameter 'z' (UnusedParameters)

Put empty method definitions on a single line. Open
def command_pack(command)
end
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for the formatting of empty method definitions.
By default it enforces empty method definitions to go on a single
line (compact style), but it can be configured to enforce the end
to go on its own line (expanded style).
Note: A method definition is not considered empty if it contains comments.
Example: EnforcedStyle: compact (default)
# bad
def foo(bar)
end
def self.foo(bar)
end
# good
def foo(bar); end
def foo(bar)
# baz
end
def self.foo(bar); end
Example: EnforcedStyle: expanded
# bad
def foo(bar); end
def self.foo(bar); end
# good
def foo(bar)
end
def self.foo(bar)
end
Favor modifier if

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?
Use %i
or %I
for an array of symbols. Open
if [:login_message, :status_information].include?(pack.payload.message_type.to_sym)
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop can check for array literals made up of symbols that are not using the %i() syntax.
Alternatively, it checks for symbol arrays using the %i() syntax on projects which do not want to use that syntax.
Configuration option: MinSize
If set, arrays with fewer elements than this value will not trigger the
cop. For example, a MinSize of
3` will not enforce a style on an array
of 2 or fewer elements.
Example: EnforcedStyle: percent (default)
# good
%i[foo bar baz]
# bad
[:foo, :bar, :baz]
Example: EnforcedStyle: brackets
# good
[:foo, :bar, :baz]
# bad
%i[foo bar baz]
