License

Installation

Just install the rubocop-rspec gem

gem install rubocop-rspec

or if you use bundler put this in your Gemfile

gem 'rubocop-rspec', require: false

Upgrading to RuboCop RSpec v3.x

Read all the details in our Upgrade to Version 3.x document.

Upgrading to RuboCop RSpec v2.x

Read all the details in our Upgrade to Version 2.x document.

Usage

You need to tell RuboCop to load the RSpec extension. There are three
ways to do this:

RuboCop configuration file

Put this into your .rubocop.yml.

plugins: rubocop-rspec

Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.

plugins:
  - rubocop-other-extension
  - rubocop-rspec

Now you can run rubocop and it will automatically load the RuboCop RSpec
cops together with the standard cops.

[!NOTE]
The plugin system is supported in RuboCop 1.72+. In earlier versions, use require instead of plugins.

Command line

rubocop --plugin rubocop-rspec

Rake task

RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
  task.plugins << 'rubocop-rspec'
end

Code Climate

rubocop-rspec is available on Code Climate as part of the rubocop engine. Learn More.

Documentation

You can read more about RuboCop RSpec in its official manual.

The Cops

All cops are located under
lib/rubocop/cop/rspec, and contain
examples/documentation.

In your .rubocop.yml, you may treat the RSpec cops just like any other
cop. For example:

RSpec/SpecFilePathFormat:
  Exclude:
    - spec/my_poorly_named_spec_file.rb
