RBS::Trace

RBS::Trace collects argument types and return value types using TracePoint, and inserts inline RBS type declarations into files.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add rbs-trace

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install rbs-trace

For example, suppose you have the following class:

class User
  def initialize(first_name, last_name)
    @first_name = first_name
    @last_name = last_name
  end

  def full_name
    "#{@first_name} #{@last_name}"
  end

  def say_hello
    puts "hi, #{full_name}."
  end
end

Call target methods within the enable method block, and call the insert_rbs method.

tracing = RBS::Trace::MethodTracing.new

# Collects the types of methods called in the block.
tracing.enable do
  user = User.new("Nanoha", "Takamachi")
  user.say_hello
end

tracing.insert_rbs

Automatically inserts inline RBS definitions into the file.

class User
  # @rbs (String, String) -> void
  def initialize(first_name, last_name)
    @first_name = first_name
    @last_name = last_name
  end

  # @rbs () -> String
  def full_name
    "#{@first_name} #{@last_name}"
  end

  # @rbs () -> void
  def say_hello
    puts "hi, #{full_name}."
  end
end

Add the following code to spec/support/rbs_trace.rb.

return unless ENV["RBS_TRACE"]

RSpec.configure do |config|
  tracing = RBS::Trace::MethodTracing.new

  config.before(:suite) { tracing.enable }
  config.after(:suite) do
    tracing.disable
    tracing.insert_rbs
  end
end

Then run RSpec with the environment variables.

$ RBS_TRACE=1 bundle exec rspec

Add the following code to test_helper.rb.

tracing = RBS::Trace::MethodTracing.new
tracing.enable

Minitest.after_run do
  tracing.disable
  tracing.insert_rbs
end

tracing.files.each do |path, file|
  file.rewrite if path.include?("app/models/")
end

If you want to enable debug logging, specify the environment variable RBS_TRACE_DEBUG.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
