CracklibReloaded::Password assumes too much for instance variable '@message' Open
class Password
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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.

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

CracklibReloaded::Password#weak? performs a nil-check Open
!@message.nil?
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
A NilCheck
is a type check. Failures of NilCheck
violate the "tell, don't ask" principle.
Additionally, type checks often mask bigger problems in your source code like not using OOP and / or polymorphism when you should.
Example
Given
class Klass
def nil_checker(argument)
if argument.nil?
puts "argument isn't nil!"
end
end
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[3]:Klass#nil_checker performs a nil-check. (NilCheck)
