🦾 Rubocop::Ruby27

if ci_badges.map(&:color).detect { it != "green"} ☝️ let me know, as I may have missed the discord notification.

---

if ci_badges.map(&:color).all? { it == "green"} 👇️ send money so I can do more of this. FLOSS maintenance is now my full-time job.

👣 How will this project approach the September 2025 hostile takeover of RubyGems? 🚑️

I've summarized my thoughts in [this blog post](https://dev.to/galtzo/hostile-takeover-of-rubygems-my-thoughts-5hlo).

Compatibility

Compatible with MRI Ruby 3.2.0+, and concordant releases of JRuby, and TruffleRuby. CI workflows and Appraisals are generated for MRI Ruby 3.2.0+. This test floor is configured by ruby.test_minimum in .kettle-jem.yml and may be higher than the gem's runtime compatibility floor when legacy Rubies are not practical for the current toolchain.

The amazing test matrix is powered by the kettle-dev stack.

Need enterprise-level guarantees?

The maintainers of this and thousands of other packages are working with Tidelift to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source packages you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact packages you use.

✨ Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add rubocop-ruby2_7

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install rubocop-ruby2_7

⚙️ Configuration

🔧 Basic Usage

If you use any of the *_rspec.yml entrypoints below, add rubocop-lts-rspec to your Gemfile or gemspec alongside this gem.

If you are using Rails, building a Rubygem, or not using RSpec, see "Advanced Usage". Otherwise, if you using this in plain Ruby and RSpec, you can add to the top of your project's .rubocop.yml configuration file:

inherit_gem:
  rubocop-ruby2_7: rubocop.yml

Among many other settings, this has the effect of declaring the following:

AllCops:
  NewCops: enable

Let's talk about these settings. (TODO: Document some of the other settings!)

⚙️ NewCops: enable

Upgrades to the latest RuboCop can include all kinds of changes, including removing support for the version of Ruby your project uses, or adding a cop that may not work with some of your syntax (e.g. some use cases of 'module_function`). Accepting new cops arriving in a new version of RuboCop can feel risky, especially when it doesn't follow SemVer.

But this gem shoehorns RuboCop into SemVer, under the watchful eye of [standard (Standard Ruby)][standardrb]... so NewCops is now safe(r)! If you use a dependency greening tool like GitHub's dependabot, or the excellent alternatives depfu, and renovate, then you can see the effect of a minor / major version bump in your CI Build!

🦷 FLOSS Funding

While rubocop-lts tools are free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Raising a monthly budget of... "dollars" would make the project more sustainable.

We welcome both individual and corporate sponsors! We also offer a wide array of funding channels to account for your preferences. Currently, Open Collective is our preferred funding platform.

If you're working in a company that's making significant use of rubocop-lts tools we'd appreciate it if you suggest to your company to become a rubocop-lts sponsor.

You can support the development of rubocop-lts tools via GitHub Sponsors, Liberapay, PayPal, Open Collective and Tidelift.

📍 NOTE
If doing a sponsorship in the form of donation is problematic for your company from an accounting standpoint, we'd recommend the use of Tidelift, where you can get a support-like subscription instead.

Open Collective for Individuals

Another way to support open-source

I’m driven by a passion to foster a thriving open-source community – a space where people can tackle complex problems, no matter how small. Revitalizing libraries that have fallen into disrepair, and building new libraries focused on solving real-world challenges, are my passions. I was recently affected by layoffs, and the tech jobs market is unwelcoming. I’m reaching out here because your support would significantly aid my efforts to provide for my family, and my farm (11 🐔 chickens, 2 🐶 dogs, 3 🐰 rabbits, 8 🐈‍ cats).

If you work at a company that uses my work, please encourage them to support me as a corporate sponsor. My work on gems you use might show up in bundle fund.

I’m developing a new library, floss_funding, designed to empower open-source developers like myself to get paid for the work we do, in a sustainable way. Please give it a look.

🤝 Contributing

If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage, or if it is already 💯 (see below) check issues or PRs, or use the gem and think about how it could be better.

We so if you make changes, remember to update it.

⭐️ Star History

📌 Versioning

This library follows for its public API where practical. For most applications, prefer the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("rubocop-ruby2_7", "~> 3.0")

📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API? More details inside.

Dropping support for a platform can be a breaking change for affected users. If a release changes supported platforms, it should be called out clearly in the changelog and versioned with that impact in mind. To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime, read this article from the creator of SemVer: - ["Major Version Numbers are Not Sacred"][📌major-versions-not-sacred]

See CHANGELOG.md for a list of releases.

🤑 A request for help

Maintainers have teeth and need to pay their dentists. After getting laid off in an RIF in March, and encountering difficulty finding a new one, I began spending most of my time building open source tools. I'm hoping to be able to pay for my kids' health insurance this month, so if you value the work I am doing, I need your support. Please consider sponsoring me or the project.
