Important note

There is no RubyMine's implementation of RuboCop. RubyMine only executes the RuboCop installed by the users, reads the output and visualizes it in the editor.

Prerequisites

To make use of the RuboCop, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You are working with RubyMine version 2017.1 or higher.
