Dumpman::Fetcher has no descriptive comment Open
class Fetcher < OpenStruct
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Classes and modules are the units of reuse and release. It is therefore considered good practice to annotate every class and module with a brief comment outlining its responsibilities.
Example
Given
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[1]:Dummy has no descriptive comment (IrresponsibleModule)
Fixing this is simple - just an explaining comment:
# The Dummy class is responsible for ...
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Redundant self
detected. Open
instance = self.new(attrs: connection.attrs)
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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.
end
def foo
%w[x y z].select do |bar|
self.bar == bar # Resolves name clash with argument of the block.
end
end

This cops checks for inconsistent indentation.
Example:
class A
def test
puts 'hello'
puts 'world'
end
end
Missing top-level class documentation comment. Open
class Fetcher < OpenStruct
- 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
Shadowing outer local variable - connection
. Open
connection = Dumpman.connections.find do |connection|
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop looks for use of the same name as outer local variables
for block arguments or block local variables.
This is a mimic of the warning
"shadowing outer local variable - foo" from ruby -cw
.
Example:
# bad
def some_method
foo = 1
2.times do |foo| # shadowing outer `foo`
do_something(foo)
end
end
Example:
# good
def some_method
foo = 1
2.times do |bar|
do_something(bar)
end
end
