Plots2: Discussion: Update .rubocop_shopify_styleguide.yml

[RuthNjeri]

When I run rubocop -a app/controllers/notes_controller.rb or rubocop -a <any other file> I receive a series of errors from that show that the .rubocop_shopify_styleguide.yml has obsolete configurations.

Should it be updated?

[nk183]

can I work on this issue ?

[RuthNjeri]

Hi @nk183, the issue hasn't been given a "go ahead" yet by @jywarren and @cesswairimu, it's still a discussion..
If approved, @h20190907 will be assigned since he reached out first...however, in the meantime, both of you can mention that you are looking for an issue to work on here

[cesswairimu]

Hey all, thanks @RuthNjeri for opening this. Yeah we can try it out with one file see how travis and codeclimate will behave.

@h20190907 you can go ahead, lets start with file Ruth suggested notes_controller alone and create a PR for that.
@nk183 you could keep an eye on how this goes if successful we can move to other files.

Thanks everyone

[h20190907]

Thanks a lot, @cesswairimu @RuthNjeri, I will start working on this, and will keep posting the updates here

@RuthNjeri what exactly is rubocorp?

[RuthNjeri]

Hi @KarenEfereyan, Rubocop is usually used to format the code, or ensure that you are using the correct coding standards usually described in a config file within the app files for example rubocop.yml

If for instance, you want to autocorrect a particular file, maybe the indentation is off or your method names are wrong, you can run Rubocop on that file and it will correct what it can for you or share warnings that you need to correct manually.. you can read more about it here it is usually installed as a gem.

Nice. Similar to lint rules in yarn, right? Thanks for explaining
