Pelusa is a static analysis tool and framework to inspect your code style and notify you about possible red flags or missing best practices.
Above all pelusa doesn't run your code -- it just analyzes it syntactically to gain superficial insights about it, and raise red flags when needed.
Pelusa needs Rubinius to run, due to how easy it is to work with a Ruby AST with it, but it doesn't mean that your Ruby code must run on Rubinius. Since it's a static analysis tool, pelusa doesn't care what your code runs on, it just looks at it and tells you stuff.
Here's a sample of pelusa linting on its own code base:
Pelusa happens to be Spanish for the word "Lint". Yeah, I couldn't believe it either.
rvm use rbx
gem install pelusa
To run pelusa, you must run Rubinius in 1.9 mode. To do this, export this environment variable:
Then go to a directory where you have some Ruby code, and type this:
pelusa path/to/some_file.rb
Or just run all the Ruby files (**/*.rb
) without arguments:
You can use per-project configurations as per which lints to use and their configurations. Just put a .pelusa.yml
file the root directory of your project, like this:
sources: lib/**/*.rb
lints:
InstanceVariables:
limit: 5
LineRestriction:
limit: 80
exclude:
- SomeClass
Properties:
enabled: false
This allows you to disable lints, configure their variables, and exclude some classes from being analyzed by certain lints.
About the default set of LintsThis project was born as an inspiration from one of our Monday Talks about Object Oriented Nirvana by @oriolgual. After reading this blog post he prepared his talk and I (@txustice) found it interesting, so I explored the possibility of programmatically linting these practices on a Ruby project. This doesn't mean that any of us thinks these are the true and only practices of Object Orientation, it's just a set of constraints that are fun to follow to achieve a mindset shift in the long run.
Anyway, you are always free to implement your own lints, or the ones that suit your team the best.
Pelusa as a static analysis frameworkWith Pelusa, writing your own lints becomes very easy. Check out some of the default lints under the lib/pelusa/lint/
directory.
At some point it will be user-extendable by default, but for now you are better off forking the project and adding your own lints as you need them in your team (or removing some default ones you don't like).
The beautiful UTF-8 flowers before each lint ran are taken from Testosterone, a project by @masylum. They're really beautiful, thanks!!!
You can easily contribute to Pelusa. Its codebase is simple and extensively documented.
