RSpec-specific analysis for your projects, as an extension to RuboCop.
RuboCop RSpec follows the RuboCop versioning guide.
In a nutshell, between major versions new cops are introduced in a special pending
status.
That means that they won’t be run unless explicitly told otherwise.
RuboCop will warn on start that certain cops are neither explicitly enabled and disabled.
On a major version release, all pending
cops are enabled.

Simplify the process of adopting new RSpec functionality
Enforcing
expect(calculator.compute(line_item)).to eq(5)
over
calculator.compute(line_item).should == 5
is a feature of RSpec itself – you can read about it in the RSpec Documentation.
Enforcing
RSpec.describe MyClass do
...
end
over
describe MyClass do
...
end
can be achieved using RSpec’s disable_monkey_patching!
method, which you can read more about in the RSpec Documentation. This will also prevent should
from being defined on every object in your system.
Before disabling should
you will need all your specs to use the expect
syntax. You can use Transpec, which will do the conversion for you.
