Overview

Flags reading a type's configuration off #type rather than #effective_type.

A work package stores the root of its type family, while the project it lives in may resolve that family to a variant configured differently — a different form configuration, workflow, set of custom fields, defaults or export templates. Reading a configuration aspect off the stored type therefore answers with the root's configuration and silently ignores the variant.

The failure mode is quiet: a project running the root behaves correctly, so a spec written without a variant passes while the feature is broken for every project that resolves one. That is what this cop is here to catch.

Only configuration aspects are flagged. name, color, is_milestone and is_in_roadmap are inherited from the root by design, so reading those off #type is correct and left alone.

Deliberately narrow: it fires when the receiver is literally a type call, which is the shape the mistake takes in practice. Administration code holding an explicit type (@type.attribute_groups) is reading that member's own configuration on purpose and is not flagged, and neither is a type held in a local variable.

Examples:

# bad
work_package.type.attribute_groups

# bad
work_package.type.custom_fields

# bad — inside WorkPackage itself
type.statuses(include_default: true)

# good
work_package.effective_type.attribute_groups

# good — when there is no work package to ask
project.effective_type(type).attribute_groups

# good — inherited from the root by design
work_package.type.name
work_package.type.is_milestone?

# good — administration reads a specific member's own configuration
@type.attribute_groups
