My project is extending open-source classes from a third-party gem that we don't want to hold to the same coding standards as our own code. Refactoring the gem code isn't a viable option. We just want Rubocop to ignore the copied code.
How can I instruct Rubocop to completely ignore a file or directory?
As per orde's comment with the link to the manual I found .rubocop.yml and added the following:
AllCops:
Exclude:
- 'path/to/excluded/file.rb'
where the path is relative to .rubocop.yml
For your convenience, here is the .rubocop.yml I frequently used.
See formal explanation of .rubocop.yml here.
AllCops:
Excludes:
- Berksfile
- recipes/basic.rb
- attributes/*.rb
# Customize rules
Metrics/LineLength:
Max: 95
MethodLength:
Max: 35
Metrics/AbcSize:
Enabled: false
BlockLength:
Max: 70
I constantly bump by rubocop errors and warning. Thus I've published this post.
