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"

- Exclude checks
This cop identifies possible cases where Active Record save! or related should be used instead of save because the model might have failed to save and an exception is better than unhandled failure.
This will allow:
- update or save calls, assigned to a variable,
or used as a condition in an if/unless/case statement.
- create calls, assigned to a variable that then has a
call to persisted?
.
- calls if the result is explicitly returned from methods and blocks,
or provided as arguments.
- calls whose signature doesn't look like an ActiveRecord
persistence method.
By default it will also allow implicit returns from methods and blocks.
that behavior can be turned off with AllowImplicitReturn: false
.
You can permit receivers that are giving false positives with
AllowedReceivers: []
Example:
# bad
user.save
user.update(name: 'Joe')
user.find_or_create_by(name: 'Joe')
