Useless private
access modifier. Open
private
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for redundant access modifiers, including those with no
code, those which are repeated, and leading public
modifiers in a
class or module body. Conditionally-defined methods are considered as
always being defined, and thus access modifiers guarding such methods
are not redundant.
Example:
class Foo
public # this is redundant (default access is public)
def method
end
private # this is not redundant (a method is defined)
def method2
end
private # this is redundant (no following methods are defined)
end
Example:
class Foo
# The following is not redundant (conditionally defined methods are
# considered as always defining a method)
private
if condition?
def method
end
end
protected # this is not redundant (method is defined)
define_method(:method2) do
end
protected # this is redundant (repeated from previous modifier)
[1,2,3].each do |i|
define_method("foo#{i}") do
end
end
# The following is redundant (methods defined on the class'
# singleton class are not affected by the public modifier)
public
def self.method3
end
end
Example:
# Lint/UselessAccessModifier:
# ContextCreatingMethods:
# - concerning
require 'active_support/concern'
class Foo
concerning :Bar do
def some_public_method
end
private
def some_private_method
end
end
# this is not redundant because `concerning` created its own context
private
def some_other_private_method
end
end
Example:
# Lint/UselessAccessModifier:
# MethodCreatingMethods:
# - delegate
require 'active_support/core_ext/module/delegation'
class Foo
# this is not redundant because `delegate` creates methods
private
delegate :method_a, to: :method_b
end
Keep a blank line before and after private
. Open
private
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Access modifiers should be surrounded by blank lines.
Example:
# bad
class Foo
def bar; end
private
def baz; end
end
# good
class Foo
def bar; end
private
def baz; end
end
Use 2 (not 4) spaces for indentation. Open
hash = YAML.load(File.read("#{Rails.root}/app/modules/states/california.yml"))
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cops checks for indentation that doesn't use the specified number of spaces.
See also the IndentationConsistency cop which is the companion to this one.
Example:
# bad
class A
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
# good
class A
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
Example: IgnoredPatterns: ['^\s*module']
# bad
module A
class B
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
end
# good
module A
class B
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
end
Use 2 (not 4) spaces for indentation. Open
point = get_point(lng, lat)
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cops checks for indentation that doesn't use the specified number of spaces.

Example:
# bad
class A
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
# good
class A
def test

end
end
Example: IgnoredPatterns: ['^\s*module']
# bad

class B

end
# good
module A
class B
def test
puts 'hello'
end
end
end
Missing top-level module documentation comment. Open
module GeographicManager
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, or constant definitions.
The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a "#:nodoc:" comment next to it. Likewise, "#:nodoc: all" does the same for all its children.
Example:
# bad
class Person
# ...
end
# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end

Line is too long. [86/80] Open
hash = YAML.load(File.read("#{Rails.root}/app/modules/states/california.yml"))
- Exclude checks
Do not prefix reader method names with get_
. Open
def self.get_polygon_california
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop makes sure that accessor methods are named properly.
Example:
# bad
def set_attribute(value)
end
# good
def attribute=(value)
end
# bad
def get_attribute
end
# good
def attribute
end
Indent access modifiers like private
. Open
private
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Modifiers should be indented as deep as method definitions, or as deep as the class/module keyword, depending on configuration.
Example: EnforcedStyle: indent (default)
# bad
class Plumbus
private
def smooth; end
end
# good
class Plumbus
private
def smooth; end
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: outdent
# bad
class Plumbus
private
def smooth; end
end
# good
class Plumbus
private
def smooth; end
end

private
(on line 9) does not make singleton methods private. Use private_class_method
or private
inside a class << self
block instead. Open
def self.get_polygon_california
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for private
or protected
access modifiers which are
applied to a singleton method. These access modifiers do not make
singleton methods private/protected. private_class_method
can be
used for that.
Example:
# bad
class C
private
def self.method
puts 'hi'
end
end
Example:
# good
class C
def self.method
puts 'hi'
end
private_class_method :method
end
Example:
# good
class C
class << self
private
def method
puts 'hi'
end
end
end
Extra empty line detected at module body beginning. Open
def self.point_in_polygon(lng, lat)
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cops checks if empty lines around the bodies of modules match the configuration.
Example: EnforcedStyle: empty_lines
# good
module Foo
def bar
# ...
end
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: emptylinesexcept_namespace
# good
module Foo
module Bar
# ...
end
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: emptylinesspecial
# good
module Foo

Example: EnforcedStyle: noemptylines (default)
# good

Checks for comma (,) not followed by some kind of space.
Example:
# bad
[1,2]
{ foo:bar,}
# good

Prefer using YAML.safe_load
over YAML.load
. Open
hash = YAML.load(File.read("#{Rails.root}/app/modules/states/california.yml"))
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for the use of YAML class methods which have potential security issues leading to remote code execution when loading from an untrusted source.
Example:
# bad
YAML.load("--- foo")
# good
YAML.safe_load("--- foo")
YAML.dump("foo")
