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.
Method validate_each
has a Cognitive Complexity of 10 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open

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"

Favor modifier unless

Checks for if and unless statements that would fit on one line
if written as a modifier if/unless. The maximum line length is
configured in the Metrics/LineLength
cop.
Example:
# bad
if condition
do_stuff(bar)
end
unless qux.empty?
Foo.do_something
end
# good
do_stuff(bar) if condition
Foo.do_something unless qux.empty?

This cop enforces the consistent usage of %
-literal delimiters.
Specify the 'default' key to set all preferred delimiters at once. You can continue to specify individual preferred delimiters to override the default.
Example:
# Style/PercentLiteralDelimiters:
# PreferredDelimiters:
# default: '[]'
# '%i': '()'
# good
%w[alpha beta] + %i(gamma delta)
# bad
%W(alpha #{beta})
# bad
%I(alpha beta)
Avoid rescuing without specifying an error class. Open
rescue
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue OtherError
bar
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue StandardError, SecurityError
bar
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: explicit (default)
# `explicit` will enforce using `rescue StandardError`
# instead of `rescue`.
# bad
begin
foo
rescue
bar
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue StandardError
bar
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue OtherError
bar
end
# good
begin
foo
rescue StandardError, SecurityError
