Rubocop for tabs

Question

We would like to use Rubocop to validate our ruby is syntaxicaly correct and follow basic code guidelines.

Appart from that we have this rule : we indent using tabs to allow anybody to decided how they want them to be rendered (display them like 2 or 4 spaces)

The problem is that rubocop seems designed to refuse tabs for indentation AT ALL.

How can we override all theses rules to be space complients ?

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

Answer 1

Add to your .rubocop.yml:

Style/Tab:
  Enabled: false

to disable the tabs rule.

You can write your own custom cop to check proper indentation.
