codeclimate-rubocop not catching issues

[imajes]

Hey climateers,

I'm noticing that for some reason i'm not able to get the codeclimate-rubocop analyzer to be able to find/determine errors.

here's a comparison:

% rubocop   
Inspecting 545 files
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................C................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Offenses:

config/initializers/cop_trigger.rb:3:1: C: Style/GlobalVars: Do not introduce global variables.
$GLOBAL_BADNESS = "some pointlessly quoted string"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
config/initializers/cop_trigger.rb:3:19: C: Style/StringLiterals: Prefer single-quoted strings when you don't need string interpolation or special symbols.
$GLOBAL_BADNESS = "some pointlessly quoted string"
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

545 files inspected, 2 offenses detected, 2 offenses auto-correctable

However, when run via CC:

% CODECLIMATE_DEBUG=1 codeclimate analyze -e rubocop:rubocop-0-92

I can't figure out how better to debug this... but it's clear that running via codeclimate isn't getting it done.

relevant portion of .codeclimate.yml:

plugins:
  # Code Climate's default rubocop version is old. This change allows us to control the version Code Climate uses.
  # Channels available: https://github.com/codeclimate/codeclimate-rubocop/branches/all?utf8=✓&query=channel%2Frubocop
  # https://docs.codeclimate.com/docs/rubocop
  rubocop:
    enabled: true
    channel: rubocop-0-92
    config:
      file: .rubocop.yml

halps? :) (sorry @ale7714 , but cc'ing you in because i know y'all super busy, but i am blocked on this - thanks)

@fede-moya happy holidays! 🎄 ☃️

just wondered if you happened to have any time to look at this -- it feels like (i hope) a simple fix :D

[ale7714]

@imajes happy holidays! we are having issues reproducing this bug. Could you please share a sample code where you're experiencing this issue? If you don't feel comfortable sharing over here. Please, send an email to hello@codeclimate.com so we can take a look at what's going on. Thank you!

[imajes]

@ale7714 thanks for replying! I pinged you back via the RLS slack -- it may be easier to zoom or something to quickly dive in. Thank you for being so awesome and on top of all these things! ❤️

Could be the case that the code we discussed is not valid ruby code ? As we discussed, our theory was right and you are not seeing any rubocop issues because the ruby-parser is failing at some point.

I have run the parser latest version, 3.0.0 against the following code and and I have received the following error message.

def hello(
  a,
  b,
)
  puts "#{a} - #{b}"
end

hello("Parameter A", "Parameter B")

hello.rb:4:1: error: unexpected token tRPAREN
hello.rb:4: )
hello.rb:4: ^

Which is exactly the same parser error that I remember seeing in the logs.

Also trying to run that also cause and error

>> ruby hello.rb
hello.rb:4: syntax error, unexpected ')'
hello.rb:6: syntax error, unexpected `end', expecting end-of-input

All those problems go away if we remove the comma after argument b, seems like it's not valid ruby. Like this:

def hello(
  a,
  b
)
  puts "#{a} - #{b}"
end

hello("Parameter A", "Parameter B")

Might that extra comma got introduced by mistake ? 🤔

@fede-moya i triple checked, and there's no dangling comma. Sorry man. it's not the error :(
