Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 26.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.
See codeclimate-duplication
's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml
.

Prefer single-quoted strings when you don't need string interpolation or special symbols. Open

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"
Missing top-level class documentation comment. Open
class UpdateGuide < Mutations::Command
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, constant definitions or constant visibility declarations.
The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a "#:nodoc:" comment next to it. Likewise, "#:nodoc: all" does the same for all its children.
Example:
# bad
class Person
# ...
end
module Math
end
# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end
# allowed
# Class without body
class Person
end
# Namespace - A namespace can be a class or a module
# Containing a class
module Namespace
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end
end
# Containing constant visibility declaration
module Namespace
class Private

This cop checks for comparison of something with nil using ==
and
nil?
.
Supported styles are: predicate, comparison.
Example: EnforcedStyle: predicate (default)
# bad

Example: EnforcedStyle: comparison
# bad
if x.nil?

Missing frozen string literal comment. Open
module Guides
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop is designed to help you transition from mutable string literals
to frozen string literals.
It will add the comment # frozen_string_literal: true
to the top of
files to enable frozen string literals. Frozen string literals may be
default in future Ruby. The comment will be added below a shebang and
encoding comment.
Note that the cop will ignore files where the comment exists but is set
to false
instead of true
.
Example: EnforcedStyle: always (default)
# The `always` style will always add the frozen string literal comment
# to a file, regardless of the Ruby version or if `freeze` or `<<` are
# called on a string literal.
# bad
module Bar
# ...
end
# good
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Bar
# ...
end
# good
# frozen_string_literal: false
module Bar
# ...
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: never
# The `never` will enforce that the frozen string literal comment does
# not exist in a file.
# bad
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Baz
# ...
end
# good
module Baz
# ...
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: always_true
# The `always_true` style enforces that the frozen string literal
# comment is set to `true`. This is a stricter option than `always`
# and forces projects to use frozen string literals.
# bad
# frozen_string_literal: false
module Baz
# ...
end
# bad
module Baz
# ...
end
# good
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Bar

Checks for if

statements that would fit on one line if
written as modifier if
/unless
. The cop also checks for modifier
if
/unless
lines that exceed the maximum line length.
The maximum line length is configured in the Layout/LineLength
cop. The tab size is configured in the IndentationWidth
of the
Layout/IndentationStyle
cop.
Example:
# bad

do_stuff(bar)
