The
Layout/WhitespaceAroundKeyword
cop complains whensuper::MyConst
is used. However, in Ruby, modules and classes are normal objects and can be returns by methods including by usingsuper
. Therefore,super::MyConst
should be considered valid style.This type of usage is distinct from the intention of this cop, which is to avoid missing space such as around
something = 123if test
andwhile(something)
.I considered adding a test that verifies that the cop complains when a keyword other than
super
is used in the same manner (it does). However, I believe this is a syntax error in every other case and so the behavior of this cop is perhaps best left undefined. The alternative would be to suggest thatyield ::
is the correct form ofyield::
, which is false; they're both wrong, and it's not the responsibility of this cop to know that.Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:
[Fix #issue-number]
(if the related issue exists).master
(if not - rebase it).bundle exec rake default
. It executes all tests and RuboCop for itself, and generates the documentation.
