  • RuboCoping with legacy: Bring your Ruby code up to Standard
    2 projects | /r/ruby | 5 Apr 2023
    1) Auto-correcting a whole (large) codebase at once with tons of offenses and dozens of active branches should be used with caution. Merge conflicts, blame pollution (ok, can be solved with .git-blame-ignore-revs, though can hardly remember any project using it). Though, the most important argument is that auto-correct can introduce bugs. Unfortunately, even safe autocorrect can be unsafe. Recently, I broke one popular project (with a decent, but not 99.999% test coverage) with a single "safe" auto-correction commit πŸ™‚ (This issue).

    It's also possible to extend RuboCop through additional linters and formatters. You can build your own extensions or take advantage of existing ones if they are relevant to your project. For example, a Rails extension is available for the purpose of enforcing Rails best practices and coding conventions.

    I just would like to point out that even though that is the most sane way, it comes with it owns set of problems. One of them is when developers start to code to cheat the linter, or they complicate the code just to "make the linter happy", another is when the linting rule introduces problems/errors like https://github.com/rubocop-hq/rubocop-rails/issues/418

    StandardRB is not much of a thing, it's just a shiny wrapper around a rubocop rule preset. The real standard is to use default rubocop configuration which is based on https://rubystyle.guide/.

    As you see - there are no reference to any technology or framework. There are a lot of best-practices for almost any framework, so you can choose an appropriate one. For example - if you're a rails developer, then you can check https://github.com/rubocop/ruby-style-guide and https://github.com/rubocop/rails-style-guide but if you're a golang developer - https://github.com/uber-go/guide/blob/master/style.md and https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/more-info/server/style-guide/

    Without any configuration, RuboCop enforces many of the guidelines outlined in the community-driven Ruby Style Guide. After running the command, you may get several errors (offenses). Each reported offense is decorated with all the information necessary to resolve it, such as a description of the offense, and the file and line number where it occurred.
