Pattern: Ineffective access modifier

Issue: -

Description

This rule checks for private or protected access modifiers which are applied to a singleton method. These access modifiers do not make singleton methods private/protected. private_class_method can be used for that.

Examples

# bad

class C
  private

  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end
end

# good

class C
  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end

  private_class_method :method
end

# good

class C
  class << self
    private

    def method
      puts 'hi'
    end
  end
end
