].compact.join(' ').html_safe

This cop checks for the use of output safety calls like html_safe
,
raw
, and safe_concat
. These methods do not escape content. They
simply return a SafeBuffer containing the content as is. Instead,
use safe_join
to join content and escape it and concat to
concatenate content and escape it, ensuring its safety.
Example:
user_content = "hi"
# bad
"#{user_content}
".html_safe
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer "hi
"
# good
content_tag(:p, user_content)
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer "<b>hi</b>
"
# bad
out = ""
out << "#{user_content} "
out << "#{user_content} "
out.html_safe
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer "hi
hi "
# good
out = []
out << content_tag(:li, user_content)
out << content_tag(:li, user_content)
safe_join(out)
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer
# "<b>hi</b>
<b>hi</b> "
# bad
out = "trusted content
".html_safe
out.safe_concat(user_content)
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer "trusted_content
hi"
# good
out = "trusted content
".html_safe
out.concat(user_content)
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer
# "trusted_content
<b>hi</b>"
# safe, though maybe not good style
out = "trusted content"
result = out.concat(user_content)
# => String "trusted contenthi"
# because when rendered in ERB the String will be escaped:
# <%= result %>
# => trusted content<b>hi</b>
# bad
(user_content + " " + content_tag(:span, user_content)).html_safe
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer "hi <span><b>hi</b></span>"
# good
safe_join([user_content, " ", content_tag(:span, user_content)])
# => ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer
# "<b>hi</b> <span><b>hi</b></span>"
Use taxon_determination.date.present?
instead of !taxon_determination.date.blank?
. Open
!taxon_determination.date.blank? ? "on #{taxon_determination.date}" : nil

- Exclude checks
This cop checks for code that can be written with simpler conditionals
using Object#present?
defined by Active Support.
Interaction with Style/UnlessElse
:
The configuration of NotBlank
will not produce an offense in the
context of unless else
if Style/UnlessElse
is inabled. This is
to prevent interference between the auto-correction of the two cops.
Example: NotNilAndNotEmpty: true (default)
# Converts usages of `!nil? && !empty?` to `present?`
# bad
!foo.nil? && !foo.empty?
# bad
foo != nil && !foo.empty?
# good
foo.present?
Example: NotBlank: true (default)
# Converts usages of `!blank?` to `present?`
# bad
!foo.blank?
# bad
not foo.blank?
# good
foo.present?
Example: UnlessBlank: true (default)
# Converts usages of `unless blank?` to `if present?`
# bad
something unless foo.blank?
# good
something if foo.present?
