We were trying to add a custom cop called
Struct/RequiresTypedStructHelper
, but ran into a problem where we got an error like:It turned out this module has method that were calling
Struct.new
, but Ruby constant lookup ended up using ourRubocop::Cop::Struct
, instead of the actualStruct
class.We were able to work around it by changing the constant name, but
Struct
is always going to be part of the stdlib so a possible name collision.Replace this text with a summary of the changes in your PR.
The more detailed you are, the better.
Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:
[Fix #issue-number]
(if the related issue exists).master
(if not - rebase it).bundle exec rake default
. It executes all tests and runs RuboCop on its own code.{change_type}_{change_description}.md
if the new code introduces user-observable changes. See changelog entry format for details.If this is a new cop, consider making a corresponding update to the Rails Style Guide.
