Defined in:

Overview

Looks for ‘reduce` or `inject` blocks where the value returned (implicitly or explicitly) does not include the accumulator. A block is considered valid as long as at least one return value includes the accumulator.

If the accumulator is not included in the return value, then the entire block will just return a transformation of the last element value, and could be rewritten as such without a loop.

Also catches instances where an index of the accumulator is returned, as this may change the type of object being retained.

NOTE: For the purpose of reducing false positives, this cop only flags returns in ‘reduce` blocks where the element is the only variable in the expression (since we will not be able to tell what other variables relate to via static analysis).

Examples:


# bad
(1..4).reduce(0) do |acc, el|
  el * 2
end

# bad, may raise a NoMethodError after the first iteration
%w(a b c).reduce({}) do |acc, letter|
  acc[letter] = true
end

# good
(1..4).reduce(0) do |acc, el|
  acc + el * 2
end

# good, element is returned but modified using the accumulator
values.reduce do |acc, el|
  el << acc
  el
end

# good, returns the accumulator instead of the index
%w(a b c).reduce({}) do |acc, letter|
  acc[letter] = true
  acc
end

# good, at least one branch returns the accumulator
values.reduce(nil) do |result, value|
  break result if something?
  value
end

# good, recursive
keys.reduce(self) { |result, key| result[key] }

# ignored as the return value cannot be determined
enum.reduce do |acc, el|
  x = foo(acc, el)
  bar(x)
end
