RuboCop.el
Synopsis
A simple Emacs interface for RuboCop.
It doesn't aim to compete with general-purpose packages providing lint integration, but rather to provide the simplest way to leverage the essential RuboCop functionality like:
- checking code style
- auto-formatting code
- auto-correcting code
Most of the package's commands are meant to be used on demand (when needed), but you can also enable automatic code correction on save.
Installation
Please, note that the current version of RuboCop.el requires RuboCop 0.9.0 or later.
MELPA
If you're an package.el user,
you can install rubocop.el from the MELPA and
MELPA Stable repositories.
Manual
Just drop rubocop.el somewhere in your load-path. I
favour the folder ~/.emacs.d/vendor:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor")
(require 'rubocop)Usage
| Command | Description | RuboCop mode binding |
|---|---|---|
| M-x rubocop-check-project | Runs RuboCop on the entire project | C-c C-r p |
| M-x rubocop-check-directory | Prompts from a directory on which to run RuboCop | C-c C-r d |
| M-x rubocop-check-current-file | Runs RuboCop on the currently visited file | C-c C-r f |
| M-x rubocop-autocorrect-project | Runs auto-correct on the entire project | C-c C-r P |
| M-x rubocop-autocorrect-directory | Prompts for a directory on which to run auto-correct | C-c C-r D |
| M-x rubocop-autocorrect-current-file | Runs auto-correct on the currently visited file. | C-c C-r F |
| M-x rubocop-format-project | Runs format on the entire project | C-c C-r X |
| M-x rubocop-format-directory | Prompts for a directory on which to run format | C-c C-r y |
| M-x rubocop-format-current-file | Runs format on the currently visited file. | C-c C-r x |
If you use them often you might want to enable rubocop-mode which will added some keybindings for them:
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook #'rubocop-mode)By default rubocop-mode uses the prefix C-c C-r for its commands, but you can change this if you wish:
(setq rubocop-keymap-prefix (kbd "C-c C-x"))Configuration
There are a couple of configuration variables that you can use to adjust RuboCop.el's behavior.
The variable rubocop-autocorrect-on-save controls whether to auto-correct automatically files on save when
rubocop-mode is active. It's disabled by default, but you can easily change this:
(setq rubocop-autocorrect-on-save t)Alternatively you can enable only automatic code formatting on save (effectively that's a subset of the full auto-correct):
(setq rubocop-format-on-save t)Note: Generally you shouldn't enable rubocop-format-on-save if rubocop-autocorrect-on-save is enabled.
You can change the shell command used by rubocop-check-* commands via rubocop-check-command:
;; let's run only lint cops
(setq rubocop-check-command "rubocop --lint --format emacs")You can change the shell command used by rubocop-autocorrect-* commands via rubocop-autocorrect-command:
;; let's run all auto-corrections possible (by default it's only the safe ones)
(setq rubocop-autocorrect-command "rubocop -A --format emacs")You can change the shell command used by rubocop-format-* commands via rubocop-format-command.
You can run rubocop inside a chroot via schroot by setting:
(setq rubocop-run-in-chroot t)Alternatives
Flycheck and Flymake (Emacs built-in) provide more sophisticated integration with various lint tools, including RuboCop.
There's also rubocopfmt, which provides functionality similar to RuboCop.el, but is focused exclusively on the auto-correction side of things.
