A method with Too Many Statements
is any method that has a large number of lines.
Too Many Statements
warns about any method that has more than 5 statements. Reek's smell detector for Too Many Statements
counts +1 for every simple statement in a method and +1 for every statement within a control structure (if
, else
, case
, when
, for
, while
, until
, begin
, rescue
) but it doesn't count the control structure itself.
So the following method would score +6 in Reek's statement-counting algorithm:
def parse(arg, argv, &error)
if !(val = arg) and (argv.empty? or /\A-/ =~ (val = argv[0]))
return nil, block, nil # +1
end
opt = (val = parse_arg(val, &error))[1] # +2
val = conv_arg(*val) # +3
if opt and !arg
argv.shift # +4
else
val[0] = nil # +5
end
val # +6
end
(You might argue that the two assigments within the first @if@ should count as statements, and that perhaps the nested assignment should count as +2.)
Business::BR::CEP::Providers::RepublicaVirtual assumes too much for instance variable '@zipcode' Open

Classes should not assume that instance variables are set or present outside of the current class definition.
Good:
class Foo
def initialize
@bar = :foo
end
def foo?
@bar == :foo
end
end
Good as well:
class Foo
def foo?
bar == :foo
end
def bar
@bar ||= :foo
end
end
Bad:
class Foo
def go_foo!
@bar = :foo
end
def foo?
@bar == :foo
end
end
Example
Running Reek on:
class Dummy
def test
@ivar
end
end
would report:
[1]:InstanceVariableAssumption: Dummy assumes too much for instance variable @ivar
Note that this example would trigger this smell warning as well:
class Parent
def initialize(omg)
@omg = omg
end
end
class Child < Parent
def foo
@omg
end
end
The way to address the smell warning is that you should create an attr_reader
to use @omg
in the subclass and not access @omg
directly like this:
class Parent
attr_reader :omg
def initialize(omg)
@omg = omg
end
end
class Child < Parent
def foo
omg
end
end
Directly accessing instance variables is considered a smell because it breaks encapsulation and makes it harder to reason about code.
If you don't want to expose those methods as public API just make them private like this:
class Parent
def initialize(omg)
@omg = omg
end
private
attr_reader :omg
end
class Child < Parent
def foo
omg
end
end
Current Support in Reek
An instance variable must:
- be set in the constructor
- or be accessed through a method with lazy initialization / memoization.
If not, Instance Variable Assumption will be reported.
Business::BR::CEP::Providers::RepublicaVirtual has no descriptive comment Open
class RepublicaVirtual < Base

Classes and modules are the units of reuse and release. It is therefore considered good practice to annotate every class and module with a brief comment outlining its responsibilities.
Example
Given
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[1]:Dummy has no descriptive comment (IrresponsibleModule)
Fixing this is simple - just an explaining comment:
# The Dummy class is responsible for ...
class Dummy
# Do things...
end

An Uncommunicative Variable Name
is a variable name that doesn't communicate its intent well enough.
Poor names make it hard for the reader to build a mental picture of what's going on in the code. They can also be mis-interpreted; and they hurt the flow of reading, because the reader must slow down to interpret the names.

Missing top-level class documentation comment. Open
class RepublicaVirtual < Base
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, or constant definitions.
The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a "#:nodoc:" comment next to it. Likewise, "#:nodoc: all" does the same for all its children.
Example:
# bad
class Person
# ...
end
# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
