Defined in:

Overview

This cop checks for redundant uses of ‘self`.

‘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.

    Note, with using explicit self you can only send messages with public or protected scope, you cannot send private messages this way.

    Example:

    def bar

    :baz

    end

    def foo(bar)

    self.bar # resolves name clash with argument

    end

    def foo2

    bar = 1
self.bar # resolves name clash with local variable

    end

  • Calling an attribute writer to prevent an local variable assignment

    attr_writer :bar

    def foo

    self.bar= 1 # Make sure above attr writer is called

    end

Special cases:

We allow uses of ‘self` with operators because it would be awkward otherwise.
