Overview

Enforces the presence (default) or absence of parentheses in method calls containing parameters.

In the default style (require_parentheses), macro methods are allowed. Additional methods can be added to the AllowedMethods or AllowedPatterns list. These options are valid only in the default style. Macros can be included by either setting IgnoreMacros to false or adding specific macros to the IncludedMacros list.

Precedence of options is as follows:

  1. AllowedMethods

  2. AllowedPatterns

  3. IncludedMacros

If a method is listed in both IncludedMacros and AllowedMethods, then the latter takes precedence (that is, the method is allowed).

In the alternative style (omit_parentheses), there are three additional options.

  1. AllowParenthesesInChaining is false by default. Setting it to true allows the presence of parentheses in the last call during method chaining.

  2. AllowParenthesesInMultilineCall is false by default. Setting it to true allows the presence of parentheses in multi-line method calls.

  3. AllowParenthesesInCamelCaseMethod is false by default. This allows the presence of parentheses when calling a method whose name begins with a capital letter and which has no arguments. Setting it to true allows the presence of parentheses in such a method call even with arguments.

Note
The style of omit_parentheses allows parentheses in cases where omitting them results in ambiguous or syntactically incorrect code.

Non-exhaustive list of examples:

  • Parentheses are required allowed in method calls with arguments inside literals, logical operators, setting default values in position and keyword arguments, chaining and more.

  • Parentheses are allowed in method calls with arguments inside operators to avoid ambiguity. triple-dot syntax introduced in Ruby 2.7 as omitting them starts an endless range.

  • Parentheses are allowed when forwarding arguments with the triple-dot syntax introduced in Ruby 2.7 as omitting them starts an endless range.

  • Parentheses are required in calls with arguments when inside an endless method definition introduced in Ruby 3.0.

  • Ruby 3.1’s hash omission syntax allows parentheses if the method call is in conditionals and requires parentheses if the call is not the value-returning expression. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18396.

  • Parentheses are required in anonymous arguments, keyword arguments and block passing in Ruby 3.2.

Examples:

EnforcedStyle: require_parentheses (default)


# bad
array.delete e

# good
array.delete(e)

# good
# Operators don't need parens
foo == bar

# good
# Setter methods don't need parens
foo.bar = baz

# okay with `puts` listed in `AllowedMethods`
puts 'test'

# okay with `^assert` listed in `AllowedPatterns`
assert_equal 'test', x

EnforcedStyle: omit_parentheses


# bad
array.delete(e)

# good
array.delete e

# bad
action.enforce(strict: true)

# good
action.enforce strict: true

# good
# Parentheses are allowed for code that can be ambiguous without
# them.
action.enforce(condition) || other_condition

# good
# Parentheses are allowed for calls that won't produce valid Ruby
# without them.
yield path, File.basename(path)

# good
# Omitting the parentheses in Ruby 3.1 hash omission syntax can lead
# to ambiguous code. We allow them in conditionals and non-last
# expressions. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18396
if meets(criteria:, action:)
  safe_action(action) || dangerous_action(action)
end

IgnoreMacros: true (default)


# good
class Foo
  bar :baz
end

IgnoreMacros: false


# bad
class Foo
  bar :baz
end

AllowParenthesesInMultilineCall: false (default)


# bad
foo.enforce(
  strict: true
)

# good
foo.enforce \
  strict: true

AllowParenthesesInMultilineCall: true


# good
foo.enforce(
  strict: true
)

# good
foo.enforce \
  strict: true

AllowParenthesesInChaining: false (default)


# bad
foo().bar(1)

# good
foo().bar 1

AllowParenthesesInChaining: true


# good
foo().bar(1)

# good
foo().bar 1

AllowParenthesesInCamelCaseMethod: false (default)


# bad
Array(1)

# good
Array 1

AllowParenthesesInCamelCaseMethod: true


# good
Array(1)

# good
Array 1

AllowParenthesesInStringInterpolation: false (default)


# bad
"#{t('this.is.bad')}"

# good
"#{t 'this.is.better'}"

AllowParenthesesInStringInterpolation: true


# good
"#{t('this.is.good')}"

# good
"#{t 'this.is.also.good'}"
