Standard

Now we switch to standard gem https://github.com/testdouble/standard which provides better defaults than rubocop

Install with

gem "standard", "~> 1.0", require: false

and add

# .rubocop.yml
require: standard

inherit_gem:
  standard: config/base.yml

If you want to use todos https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/rubocoping-with-legacy-bring-your-ruby-code-up-to-standard

# .rubocop.yml
# We want Exclude directives from different
# config files to get merged, not overwritten
inherit_mode:
  merge:
    - Exclude

require:
  # Standard's config uses custom cops, # so it must be loaded
  - standard

inherit_gem:
  standard: config/base.yml
  # You can also choose a Ruby-version-specific config
  # standard: config/ruby-3.0.yml

inherit_from:
  - .rubocop_todo.yml
  - .rubocop_strict.yml
# Sometimes we enable metrics cops
# (which are disabled in Standard by default)
#
# Metrics:
#   Enabled: true

# Global options, like Ruby version
AllCops:
  SuggestExtensions: false
  TargetRubyVersion: 3.2

Enable in editors https://github.com/testdouble/standard#language-server-protocol-support

Rubocop

rubocop my-file.rb
# safe auto correct
rubocop -a
# auto correct all
rubocop -A
# auto correct only layout (formatting offenses)
rubocop -x
# only specific cops
rubocop --only Rails/Blank,Naming/FileName
# add rubocop comments that disable warnings and fix what can be fixes
rubocop --auto-correct --disable-uncorrectable

Cache is used by default AllCopps: UseCache is true and stored in ~/.cache/rubocop_cache/
