Overview

Checks for ambiguous ranges.

Ranges have quite low precedence, which leads to unexpected behavior when using a range with other operators. This cop avoids that by making ranges explicit by requiring parenthesis around complex range boundaries (anything that is not a literal: numerics, strings, symbols, etc.).

This cop can be configured with ‘RequireParenthesesForMethodChains` in order to specify whether method chains (including `self.foo`) should be wrapped in parens by this cop.

NOTE: Regardless of this configuration, if a method receiver is a basic literal value, it will be wrapped in order to prevent the ambiguity of ‘1..2.to_a`.

Examples:

# bad
x || 1..2
(x || 1..2)
1..2.to_a

# good, unambiguous
1..2
'a'..'z'
:bar..:baz
MyClass::MIN..MyClass::MAX
@min..@max
a..b
-a..b

# good, ambiguity removed
x || (1..2)
(x || 1)..2
(x || 1)..(y || 2)
(1..2).to_a

RequireParenthesesForMethodChains: false (default)

# good
a.foo..b.bar
(a.foo)..(b.bar)

RequireParenthesesForMethodChains: true

# bad
a.foo..b.bar

# good
(a.foo)..(b.bar)
