Rubocul

RuboCop defaults for Columbia University Libraries projects.

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'rubocul', '~> 4.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

In your .rubocop.yml:

inherit_gem:
  rubocul: rubocul_default.yml

AllCops:
  TargetRubyVersion: 3.1.0  # Update to your version of ruby
  TargetRailsVersion: 7.0.1 # Update to your version of rails

Understandably, it can be difficult to address all rubocop issues when adding rubocop to a current project. If you want to delay fixing these issues, creating a .rubocop_todo.yml creates a list of exclusions for your rubocop configuration. Using the following command creates a rubocop_todo configuration that only excludes files from cops instead of enabling/disabling cops and changing configuration values.

rubocop --auto-gen-config  --auto-gen-only-exclude --exclude-limit 10000

If you'd like to propose a change to our configuration, please open a github pull request with the change (in rubocop_default, or the appropriate rubocup_rules_* file) with an explanation of why it would be useful.

Note that testing of custom rubocop rules is not currently set up for this gem, but is planned for the future. We have a test in the spec directory that we'll eventually want to run once tests are ready to go.
