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')
user.destroy

# good
unless user.save
  # ...
end
user.save!
user.update!(name: 'Joe')
user.find_or_create_by!(name: 'Joe')
user.destroy!

user = User.find_or_create_by(name: 'Joe')
unless user.persisted?
  # ...
end

def save_user
  return user.save
end

Example: AllowImplicitReturn: true (default)

# good
users.each { |u| u.save }

def save_user
  user.save
end

Example: AllowImplicitReturn: false

# bad
users.each { |u| u.save }
def save_user
  user.save
end

# good
users.each { |u| u.save! }

def save_user
  user.save!
end

def save_user
  return user.save
end

Example: AllowedReceivers: ['merchant.customers', 'Service::Mailer']

# bad
merchant.create
customers.builder.save
Mailer.create

module Service::Mailer
  self.create
end

# good
merchant.customers.create
MerchantService.merchant.customers.destroy
Service::Mailer.update(message: 'Message')
::Service::Mailer.update
Services::Service::Mailer.update(message: 'Message')
Service::Mailer::update

This cop checks for correct grammar when using ActiveSupport's core extensions to the numeric classes.

Example:

# bad
3.day.ago
1.months.ago

# good
3.days.ago
1.month.ago

This cop checks that methods specified in the filter's only or except options are defined within the same class or module.

You can technically specify methods of superclass or methods added by mixins on the filter, but these can confuse developers. If you specify methods that are defined in other classes or modules, you should define the filter in that class or module.

If you rely on behaviour defined in the superclass actions, you must remember to invoke super in the subclass actions.

Example:

# bad
class LoginController < ApplicationController
  before_action :require_login, only: %i[index settings logout]

  def index
  end
end

# good
class LoginController < ApplicationController
  before_action :require_login, only: %i[index settings logout]

  def index
  end

  def settings
  end

  def logout
  end
end

Example:

# bad
module FooMixin
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    before_action proc { authenticate }, only: :foo
  end
end

# good
module FooMixin
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    before_action proc { authenticate }, only: :foo
  end

  def foo
    # something
  end
end

Example:

class ContentController < ApplicationController
  def update
    @content.update(content_attributes)
  end
end

class ArticlesController < ContentController
  before_action :load_article, only: [:update]

  # the cop requires this method, but it relies on behaviour defined
  # in the superclass, so needs to invoke `super`
  def update
    super
  end

  private

  def load_article
    @content = Article.find(params[:article_id])
  end
end

This cop checks for the use of strings as keys in hashes. The use of symbols is preferred instead.

Example:

# bad
{ 'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3 }

# good
{ one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 }

This cop checks whether some constant value isn't a mutable literal (e.g. array or hash).

Strict mode can be used to freeze all constants, rather than just literals. Strict mode is considered an experimental feature. It has not been updated with an exhaustive list of all methods that will produce frozen objects so there is a decent chance of getting some false positives. Luckily, there is no harm in freezing an already frozen object.

Example: EnforcedStyle: literals (default)

# bad
CONST = [1, 2, 3]

# good
CONST = [1, 2, 3].freeze

# good
CONST = <<~TESTING.freeze
  This is a heredoc
TESTING

# good
CONST = Something.new

Example: EnforcedStyle: strict

# bad
CONST = Something.new

# bad
CONST = Struct.new do
  def foo
    puts 1
  end
end

# good
CONST = Something.new.freeze

# good
CONST = Struct.new do
  def foo
    puts 1
  end
end.freeze

This cop checks for indentation that doesn't use the specified number of spaces.

See also the IndentationConsistency cop which is the companion to this one.

Example:

# bad
class A
 def test
  puts 'hello'
 end
end

# good
class A
  def test
    puts 'hello'
  end
end

Example: IgnoredPatterns: ['^\s*module']

# bad
module A
class B
  def test
  puts 'hello'
  end
end
end

# good
module A
class B
  def test
    puts 'hello'
  end
end

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')
user.destroy

# good
unless user.save
  # ...
end
user.save!
user.update!(name: 'Joe')
user.find_or_create_by!(name: 'Joe')
user.destroy!

user = User.find_or_create_by(name: 'Joe')
unless user.persisted?
  # ...
end

def save_user
  return user.save
end

Example: AllowImplicitReturn: true (default)

# good
users.each { |u| u.save }

This cop checks for the correct use of Date methods, such as Date.today, Date.current etc.

Using Date.today is dangerous, because it doesn't know anything about Rails time zone. You must use Time.zone.today instead.

The cop also reports warnings when you are using to_time method, because it doesn't know about Rails time zone either.

Two styles are supported for this cop. When EnforcedStyle is 'strict' then the Date methods today, current, yesterday, and tomorrow are prohibited and the usage of both to_time and 'totimeincurrentzone' are reported as warning.

When EnforcedStyle is 'flexible' then only Date.today is prohibited and only to_time is reported as warning.

Example: EnforcedStyle: strict

# bad
Date.current
Date.yesterday
Date.today
date.to_time

# good
Time.zone.today
Time.zone.today - 1.day

Example: EnforcedStyle: flexible (default)

# bad
Date.today
date.to_time

# good
Time.zone.today
Time.zone.today - 1.day
Date.current
Date.yesterday
date.in_time_zone
