- Read upRead up

This cop checks hash literal syntax.
It can enforce either the use of the class hash rocket syntax or the use of the newer Ruby 1.9 syntax (when applicable).
A separate offense is registered for each problematic pair.
The supported styles are:
- ruby19 - forces use of the 1.9 syntax (e.g.
{a: 1}
) when hashes have all symbols for keys - hash_rockets - forces use of hash rockets for all hashes
- nomixedkeys - simply checks for hashes with mixed syntaxes
- ruby19nomixed_keys - forces use of ruby 1.9 syntax and forbids mixed syntax hashes
Example: EnforcedStyle: ruby19 (default)
# bad
{:a => 2}
{b: 1, :c => 2}
# good
{a: 2, b: 1}
{:c => 2, 'd' => 2} # acceptable since 'd' isn't a symbol
{d: 1, 'e' => 2} # technically not forbidden
Example: EnforcedStyle: hash_rockets
# bad
{a: 1, b: 2}
{c: 1, 'd' => 5}
# good
{:a => 1, :b => 2}
Example: EnforcedStyle: nomixedkeys
# bad
{:a => 1, b: 2}
{c: 1, 'd' => 2}

This cop checks for redundant uses of self
.
The usage of self
is only needed when:
Sending a message to same object with zero arguments in presence of a method name clash with an argument or a local variable.
Calling an attribute writer to prevent an local variable assignment.
Note, with using explicit self you can only send messages with public or protected scope, you cannot send private messages this way.
Note we allow uses of self
with operators because it would be awkward
otherwise.
Example:
# bad
def foo(bar)
self.baz
end
# good
def foo(bar)
self.bar # Resolves name clash with the argument.
end
def foo
bar = 1
self.bar # Resolves name clash with the local variable.
