guard-rubocop
guard-rubocop allows you to automatically check Ruby code style with RuboCop when files are modified.
Tested on MRI 2.4 - 2.7.
Installation
Please make sure to have Guard installed before continue.
Add guard-rubocop
to your Gemfile
:
“by group :development do gem ‘guard-rubocop’ end
“
and then execute:
“ $ bundle install
“
or install it yourself as:
“ $ gem install guard-rubocop
“
Add the default Guard::RuboCop definition to your Guardfile
by running:
“ $ guard init rubocop
“
Usage
Please read the Guard usage documentation.
Options
You can pass some options in Guardfile
like the following example:
“by guard :rubocop, all_on_start: false, cli: [format, clang, rails] do # … end
“
Available Options
“by all_on_start: true # Check all files at Guard startup. # default: true cli: ‘–rails’ # Pass arbitrary RuboCop CLI arguments. # An array or string is acceptable. # default: nil hide_stdout: false # Do not display console output (in case outputting to file). # default: false keep_failed: true # Keep failed files until they pass. # default: true notification: :failed # Display Growl notification after each run. # true - Always notify # false - Never notify # :failed - Notify only when failed # default: :failed launchy: nil # Filename to launch using Launchy after RuboCop runs. # default: nil
“
Using Launchy to view results
guard-rubocop can be configured to launch a results file in lieu of or in addition to outputing results to the terminal. Configure your Guardfile with the launchy option:
“uby guard :rubocop, cli: %w(–format fuubar –format html -o ./tmp/rubocop_results.html), launchy: ‘./tmp/rubocop_results.html’ do # … end
“
Advanced Tips
If you’re using a testing Guard plugin such as guard-rspec
together with guard-rubocop
in the TDD way (the red-green-refactor cycle), you might be uncomfortable with the offense reports from RuboCop in the red-green phase:
- In the red-green phase, you’re not necessarily required to write clean code – you just focus writing code to pass the test. It means, in this phase,
guard-rspec
should be run butguard-rubocop
should not. - In the refactor phase, you’re required to make the code clean while keeping the test passing. In this phase, both
guard-rspec
andguard-rubocop
should be run.
In this case, you may consider making use of the group method in your Guardfile
:
“by
This group allows to skip running RuboCop when RSpec failed.
group :red_green_refactor, halt_on_fail: true do guard :rspec do # … end
guard :rubocop do # … end end
“
Note: You need to use guard-rspec
4.2.3 or later due to a bug where it unintentionally fails when there are no spec files to be run.
