Defined in:

Overview

This cop checks for memoized methods whose instance variable name does not match the method name. Applies to both regular methods (defined with ‘def`) and dynamic methods (defined with `define_method` or `define_singleton_method`).

This cop can be configured with the EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores directive. It can be configured to allow for memoized instance variables prefixed with an underscore. Prefixing ivars with an underscore is a convention that is used to implicitly indicate that an ivar should not be set or referenced outside of the memoization method.

Examples:

EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores: disallowed (default)

# bad
# Method foo is memoized using an instance variable that is
# not `@foo`. This can cause confusion and bugs.
def foo
  @something ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

def foo
  return @something if defined?(@something)
  @something = calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def _foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @foo ||= begin
    calculate_expensive_thing
  end
end

# good
def foo
  helper_variable = something_we_need_to_calculate_foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing(helper_variable)
end

# good
define_method(:foo) do
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
define_method(:foo) do
  return @foo if defined?(@foo)
  @foo = calculate_expensive_thing
end

EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores: required

# bad
def foo
  @something ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# bad
def foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

def foo
  return @foo if defined?(@foo)
  @foo = calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def _foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

def foo
  return @_foo if defined?(@_foo)
  @_foo = calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
define_method(:foo) do
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
define_method(:foo) do
  return @_foo if defined?(@_foo)
  @_foo = calculate_expensive_thing
end
