This cop identifies places where gsub can be replaced by tr or delete.

Example:

# bad
'abc'.gsub('b', 'd')
'abc'.gsub('a', '')
'abc'.gsub(/a/, 'd')
'abc'.gsub!('a', 'd')

# good
'abc'.gsub(/.*/, 'a')
'abc'.gsub(/a+/, 'd')
'abc'.tr('b', 'd')
'a b c'.delete(' ')

Do not mix named captures and numbered captures in a Regexp literal because numbered capture is ignored if they're mixed. Replace numbered captures with non-capturing groupings or named captures.

Example:

# bad
/(?<foo>FOO)(BAR)/

# good
/(?<foo>FOO)(?<bar>BAR)/

# good
/(?<foo>FOO)(?:BAR)/

# good
/(FOO)(BAR)/</foo></bar></foo></foo>

Checks for excessive nesting of conditional and looping constructs.

You can configure if blocks are considered using the CountBlocks option. When set to false (the default) blocks are not counted towards the nesting level. Set to true to count blocks as well.

The maximum level of nesting allowed is configurable.

Checks that deprecated attributes are not set in a gemspec file. Removing deprecated attributes allows the user to receive smaller packed gems.

Example:

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'your_cool_gem_name'
  spec.test_files = Dir.glob('test/**/*')
end

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'your_cool_gem_name'
  spec.test_files += Dir.glob('test/**/*')
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'your_cool_gem_name'
end

Looks for expressions containing multiple binary operators where precedence is ambiguous due to lack of parentheses. For example, in 1 + 2 * 3, the multiplication will happen before the addition, but lexically it appears that the addition will happen first.

The cop does not consider unary operators (ie. !a or -b) or comparison operators (ie. a =~ b) because those are not ambiguous.

NOTE: Ranges are handled by Lint/AmbiguousRange.

Example:

# bad
a + b * c
a || b && c
a ** b + c

# good (different precedence)
a + (b * c)
a || (b && c)
(a ** b) + c

# good (same precedence)
a + b + c
a * b / c % d

Requires a gemspec to have rubygems_mfa_required metadata set.

This setting tells RubyGems that MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is required for accounts to be able perform privileged operations, such as (see RubyGems' documentation for the full list of privileged operations):

• gem push
• gem yank
• gem owner --add/remove
• adding or removing owners using gem ownership page

This helps make your gem more secure, as users can be more confident that gem updates were pushed by maintainers.

Example:

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  # no `rubygems_mfa_required` metadata specified
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata = {
    'rubygems_mfa_required' => 'true'
  }
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata['rubygems_mfa_required'] = 'true'
end

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata = {
    'rubygems_mfa_required' => 'false'
  }
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata = {
    'rubygems_mfa_required' => 'true'
  }
end

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata['rubygems_mfa_required'] = 'false'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.metadata['rubygems_mfa_required'] = 'true'
end

Checks for unused block arguments.

Example:

# bad
do_something do |used, unused|
  puts used
end

do_something do |bar|
  puts :foo
end

define_method(:foo) do |bar|
  puts :baz
end

# good
do_something do |used, _unused|
  puts used
end

do_something do
  puts :foo
end

define_method(:foo) do |_bar|
  puts :baz
end

Example: IgnoreEmptyBlocks: true (default)

# good
do_something { |unused| }

Example: IgnoreEmptyBlocks: false

# bad
do_something { |unused| }

Example: AllowUnusedKeywordArguments: false (default)

# bad
do_something do |unused: 42|
  foo
end

Example: AllowUnusedKeywordArguments: true

# good
do_something do |unused: 42|
  foo
end

In Ruby 2.4, String#match?, Regexp#match? and Symbol#match? have been added. The methods are faster than match. Because the methods avoid creating a MatchData object or saving backref. So, when MatchData is not used, use match? instead of match.

Example:

# bad
def foo
  if x =~ /re/
    do_something
  end
end

# bad
def foo
  if x.match(/re/)
    do_something
  end
end

# bad
def foo
  if /re/ === x
    do_something
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if x.match?(/re/)
    do_something
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if x =~ /re/
    do_something(Regexp.last_match)
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if x.match(/re/)
    do_something($~)
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if /re/ === x
    do_something($~)
  end
end

Checks for rescue blocks with no body.

Example:

# bad
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
end

# bad
begin
  do_something
rescue
end

# good
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
  handle_exception
end

# good
begin
  do_something
rescue
  handle_exception
end

Example: AllowComments: true (default)

# good
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
  # do nothing
end

# good
begin
  do_something
rescue
  # do nothing
end

Example: AllowComments: false

# bad
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
  # do nothing
end

# bad
begin
  do_something
rescue
  # do nothing
end

Example: AllowNil: true (default)

# good
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
  nil
end

# good
begin
  do_something
rescue
  # do nothing
end

# good
do_something rescue nil

Example: AllowNil: false

# bad
def some_method
  do_something
rescue
  nil
end

# bad
begin
  do_something
rescue
  nil
end

# bad
do_something rescue nil

end

  end
end

# good
def foo
  if x =~ /re/
    do_something(Regexp.last_match)
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if x.match(/re/)
    do_something($~)
  end
end

# good
def foo
  if /re/ === x
    do_something($~)
  end
end

Checks for private or protected access modifiers which are applied to a singleton method. These access modifiers do not make singleton methods private/protected. private_class_method can be used for that.

Example:

# bad

class C
  private

  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end
end

Example:

# good

class C
  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end

  private_class_method :method
end

Example:

# good

class C
  class << self
    private

    def method
      puts 'hi'
    end
  end
end

Checks for unused method arguments.

Example:

# bad
def some_method(used, unused, _unused_but_allowed)
  puts used
end

# good
def some_method(used, _unused, _unused_but_allowed)
  puts used
end

Example: AllowUnusedKeywordArguments: false (default)

# bad
def do_something(used, unused: 42)
  used
end

Example: AllowUnusedKeywordArguments: true

# good
def do_something(used, unused: 42)
  used
end

Example: IgnoreEmptyMethods: true (default)

# good
def do_something(unused)
end

Example: IgnoreEmptyMethods: false

# bad
def do_something(unused)
end

Example: IgnoreNotImplementedMethods: true (default)

# good
def do_something(unused)
  raise NotImplementedError
end

def do_something_else(unused)
  fail "TODO"
end

Example: IgnoreNotImplementedMethods: false

# bad
def do_something(unused)
  raise NotImplementedError
end

def do_something_else(unused)
  fail "TODO"
end
