Rubocop: Simple way to disable a set of cops (Style cops in my case)

[lepieru]

I want to add RuboCop's checks to a project but I don't want to be too rude with coding style. So I am looking for a simple way to disable all style cops for now.

It seems to be a classical case and it could be a nice way to incrementally adopt RuboCop.

---

Expected behavior

I would like to disable a set of cops, like Style cops in my case.

Style/*:
  Enabled: false

Could also be StyleCops instead of Style/*, it is just a proposition.

Actual behavior

I have to manually insert all style cops in the .rubocop.yml file or I missed something.

RuboCop version

$ rubocop -V
0.49.1 (using Parser 2.4.0.0, running on ruby 2.3.1 x86_64-linux-gnu)

You can disable a group like this:

Style:
  Enabled: false

Also, the fear of being rude is one of the selling points of programmatic enforcement. If the computer told you to do something, it doesn't affect your interpersonal relationships. 😉

Oups, my bad.

I want RuboCop to be appreciate by new users, me included. And because many style cops are matters of taste, I prefer to disable them for now.

Thank you for this quick answer!

Understood. 😊 Most cops are configurable, so you can slowly adopt a few at a time. You can find the configuration options in default.yml, and generally the cop documentation will have information about the different options. 🙂
