RuboCop RSpec

RSpec-specific analysis for your projects, as an extension to RuboCop.

Upgrading to RuboCop RSpec v2.x

Read all the details in our Upgrade to Version 2.x document.

Usage

You need to tell RuboCop to load the RSpec extension. There are three ways to do this:

RuboCop configuration file

Put this into your .rubocop.yml.

require: rubocop-rspec

Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.

require:
  - rubocop-other-extension
  - rubocop-rspec

Now you can run rubocop and it will automatically load the RuboCop RSpec cops together with the standard cops.

Command line

rubocop --require rubocop-rspec

Rake task

RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
  task.requires << 'rubocop-rspec'
end

In your .rubocop.yml, you may treat the RSpec cops just like any other cop. For example:

RSpec/FilePath:
  Exclude:
    - spec/my_poorly_named_spec_file.rb
