tailor recursively parses Ruby files in a directory and checks them for bad style. Rules for judging style are based on a number of style guides that are popular in the Ruby community. More on this here wiki.github.com/turboladen/tailor.
-
Checks for bad style in .rb and .erb files
-
Recursively in a directory, or…
-
A given file
-
-
Checks for:
-
Indentation
-
Hard-tabs in indentation
-
-
Name cases
-
Snake case class & module names
-
Camel case method names
-
-
Extra whitespace
-
At the end of lines
-
On empty lines
-
Around commas
-
Around open/closed parentheses
-
Around open/closed square brackets
-
Around open/closed curly braces
-
Around colons in ternary statements
-
-
Line length
-
Should be <= 80 characters
-
-
Run tailor like:
$ tailor path/to/check/
…or…
$ tail file_to_check.rb
There are a number of false-positives and false-negatives in detection of the above rules, so please don’t expect perfection in this detection. :) I’m working on solving this.
