Tab cutter

Question

We would like to use Rubocop to validate our Ruby and the correctness of the underlying code.

Appart from this rule: we back out using tabs so that someone decides how they want them to appear (display them as 2 or 4 spaces)

The problem is that rubocop seems to be designed to discard tabs for AT ALL indents.

How can we redefine all the thesis rules to be helpers in space?

EDIT: I am thinking of overriding this module https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop/blob/master/lib/rubocop/source_parser.rb to replace all tabs from my files with 2 spaces to create an illusion for the gem .. .

I overcame this module https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop/blob/master/lib/rubocop/source_parser.rb to replace all tabs from my files with 2 spaces to create an illusion for the gem ...

Answer 2

Add to your .rubocop.yml:

Style/Tab:
  Enabled: false

to disable the tab rule.

You can write your own custom cop. to check the correct indentation.
