Mass assignment is not restricted using attr_accessible Open
class ImageFile < ActiveRecord::Base
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This warning comes up if a model does not limit what attributes can be set through mass assignment.
In particular, this check looks for attr_accessible
inside model definitions. If it is not found, this warning will be issued.
Brakeman also warns on use of attr_protected
- especially since it was found to be vulnerable to bypass. Warnings for mass assignment on models using attr_protected
will be reported, but at a lower confidence level.
Note that disabling mass assignment globally will suppress these warnings.

This cop checks that the cyclomatic complexity of methods is not higher than the configured maximum. The cyclomatic complexity is the number of linearly independent paths through a method. The algorithm counts decision points and adds one.
An if statement (or unless or ?:) increases the complexity by one. An else branch does not, since it doesn't add a decision point. The && operator (or keyword and) can be converted to a nested if statement, and ||/or is shorthand for a sequence of ifs, so they also add one. Loops can be said to have an exit condition, so they add one.

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"

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 36.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.
See codeclimate-duplication
's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml
.

Use width.zero?

. Open
if width.nil? || width == 0 || height.nil? || height == 0
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for usage of comparison operators (==
,
>
, <
) to test numbers as zero, positive, or negative.
These can be replaced by their respective predicate methods.
The cop can also be configured to do the reverse.
The cop disregards #nonzero?
as it its value is truthy or falsey,
but not true
and false
, and thus not always interchangeable with
!= 0
.
The cop ignores comparisons to global variables, since they are often
populated with objects which can be compared with integers, but are
not themselves Interger
polymorphic.
Example: EnforcedStyle: predicate (default)
# bad
foo == 0
0 > foo
bar.baz > 0
# good
foo.zero?
foo.negative?
bar.baz.positive?
Example: EnforcedStyle: comparison
# bad
foo.zero?
foo.negative?
bar.baz.positive?
# good
foo == 0
0 > foo
bar.baz > 0

Avoid rescuing without specifying an error class. Open
rescue

This cop checks for rescuing StandardError
. There are two supported
styles implicit
and explicit
. This cop will not register an offense
if any error other than StandardError
is specified.
Example: EnforcedStyle: implicit
# `implicit` will enforce using `rescue` instead of
# `rescue StandardError`.
# bad
begin
foo
rescue StandardError
bar
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue
bar

# good
begin

# instead of `rescue`.

# good
[1, 2].each do |a|

Example: EnforcedStyle: always
# With `always` all conditions at the end of an iteration needs to be
# replaced by next - with `skip_modifier_ifs` the modifier if like
# this one are ignored: `[1, 2].each { |a| return 'yes' if a == 1 }`

Provide an exception class and message as arguments to raise
. Open
thumbnailable? || raise(ThumbnailError.new("Can't create a thumbnail if the content type is not an image or there is no parent_id column"))
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks the args passed to fail
and raise
. For exploded
style (default), it recommends passing the exception class and message
to raise
, rather than construct an instance of the error. It will
still allow passing just a message, or the construction of an error
with more than one argument.
The exploded style works identically, but with the addition that it will also suggest constructing error objects when the exception is passed multiple arguments.
Example: EnforcedStyle: exploded (default)
# bad
raise StandardError.new("message")
# good
raise StandardError, "message"
fail "message"
raise MyCustomError.new(arg1, arg2, arg3)
raise MyKwArgError.new(key1: val1, key2: val2)
Example: EnforcedStyle: compact
# bad
raise StandardError, "message"
raise RuntimeError, arg1, arg2, arg3
# good
raise StandardError.new("message")
raise MyCustomError.new(arg1, arg2, arg3)
fail "message"
