module RSpec
# Checks for instance variable usage in specs.
#
# This cop can be configured with the option `AssignmentOnly` which
# will configure the cop to only register offenses on instance
# variable usage if the instance variable is also assigned within
# the spec
#
# @example
# # bad
# describe MyClass do
# before { @foo = [] }
# it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
# end
#
# # good
# describe MyClass do
# let(:foo) { [] }
# it { expect(foo).to be_empty }
# end
#
# @example with AssignmentOnly configuration
# # rubocop.yml
# # RSpec/InstanceVariable:
# # AssignmentOnly: true
#
# # bad
# describe MyClass do
# before { @foo = [] }
# it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
# end
#
# # allowed
# describe MyClass do
# it { expect(@foo).to be_empty }
# end
#
# # good
# describe MyClass do
# let(:foo) { [] }
# it { expect(foo).to be_empty }
