'nil' dereference
Reports possible nil dereferences. Dereferencing nil may cause a NoMethodError.
Use the Ignored receivers list to specify method calls used as receivers that should be ignored (for example, Foo#call or Foo::call for an instance or a singleton method respectively).
Example:
def foo
rand(2) == 1 ? nil : 1
end
a = foo
a.nomethod # method invocation may produce NoMethodError
