guard-rubocop allows you to automatically check Ruby code style with RuboCop when files are modified.
Tested on MRI 2.5 - 3.1.
Please make sure to have Guard installed before continue.
Add guard-rubocop
to your Gemfile
:
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
Please read the Guard usage documentation.
You can pass some options in Guardfile
like the following example:
guard :rubocop, all_on_start: false, cli: ['--format', 'clang', '--rails'] do
# ...
end
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
cmd: './bin/rubocop' # Pass custom cmd to run rubocop.
# default: rubocop
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
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:
guard :rubocop, cli: %w(--format fuubar --format html -o ./tmp/rubocop_results.html), launchy: './tmp/rubocop_results.html' do
# ...
end
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 β 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
:
# 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.
