Gemspec/DuplicatedAssignment

Enabled by default	Safe	Supports autocorrection	VersionAdded	VersionChanged
Enabled	Yes	No	0.52	-

An attribute assignment method calls should be listed only once in a gemspec.

Assigning to an attribute with the same name using spec.foo = will be an unintended usage. On the other hand, duplication of methods such as spec.requirements, spec.add_runtime_dependency, and others are permitted because it is the intended use of appending values.

Examples

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'rubocop'
  spec.name = 'rubocop2'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'rubocop'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.requirements << 'libmagick, v6.0'
  spec.requirements << 'A good graphics card'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.add_runtime_dependency('parallel', '~> 1.10')
  spec.add_runtime_dependency('parser', '>= 2.3.3.1', '< 3.0')
end

# good
spec.add_dependency 'rspec'
spec.add_dependency 'rubocop'

# good
spec.add_dependency 'rubocop'

# bad
spec.add_development_dependency 'rubocop'
spec.add_development_dependency 'rspec'

# good
spec.add_development_dependency 'rspec'
spec.add_development_dependency 'rubocop'

# good
spec.add_development_dependency 'rubocop'

spec.add_development_dependency 'rspec'

Gemspec/RequiredRubyVersion

Enabled by default	Safe	Supports autocorrection	VersionAdded	VersionChanged
Enabled	Yes	No	0.52	-

Checks that required_ruby_version of gemspec and TargetRubyVersion of .rubocop.yml are equal. Thereby, RuboCop to perform static analysis working on the version required by gemspec.

Examples

# When `TargetRubyVersion` of .rubocop.yml is `2.3`.

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.2.0'
end

# bad
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.4.0'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.3.0'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.3'
end

# good
Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.required_ruby_version = ['>= 2.3.0', '< 2.5.0']
end
