Severity: Minor
Found in app/helpers/collection_profiles_helper.rb by rubocop

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 "

# bad
out = ""
out << "

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)

    ".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

!foo.nil? && !foo.empty?

    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
