A method with Too Many Statements
is any method that has a large number of lines.
Too Many Statements
warns about any method that has more than 5 statements. Reek's smell detector for Too Many Statements
counts +1 for every simple statement in a method and +1 for every statement within a control structure (if
, else
, case
, when
, for
, while
, until
, begin
, rescue
) but it doesn't count the control structure itself.
So the following method would score +6 in Reek's statement-counting algorithm:
def parse(arg, argv, &error)
if !(val = arg) and (argv.empty? or /\A-/ =~ (val = argv[0]))
return nil, block, nil # +1
end
opt = (val = parse_arg(val, &error))[1] # +2
val = conv_arg(*val) # +3
if opt and !arg
argv.shift # +4
else
val[0] = nil # +5
end
val # +6
end
(You might argue that the two assigments within the first @if@ should count as statements, and that perhaps the nested assignment should count as +2.)
Method validate
has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
def validate
generated_pipeline_list.each do |pipeline_filename|
puts "validating #{pipeline_filename}"
command = "fly validate-pipeline -c #{pipeline_filename} --var=stemcell-main-name=my-stemcell-name"
stdout_str, stderr_str, = Open3.capture3(command)

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"

Put one space between the method name and the first argument. Open
puts`#{command}`

Checks that exactly one space is used between a method name and the first argument for method calls without parentheses.
Alternatively, extra spaces can be added to align the argument with something on a preceding or following line, if the AllowForAlignment config parameter is true.
Example:
# bad
something x
something y, z
something'hello'
# good
something x
something y, z
something 'hello'
