ISSUE-1734 Add missing configuration warning - #1741
Conversation
This PR adds a more descriptive error message when users add a detector without configuration. Before this change a NoMethodError exception was raised with an unclear error message. Now we catch this exception and provide a more helpful error message. A better future option might be add [dry-schema](https://dry-rb.org/gems/dry-schema/1.13/) See: troessner#1734

This is very useful but the error handling should be more in line with the rest of Reek.
Once that's done it should be easy to have some tests for this. This will make the specs pass again.

I think it's better to detect that detector[detector] is nil at the beginning of this block and handle that specific case there.

The way error handling works in Reek is that we raise specific errors throughout the code and then do the warning in lib/reek/cli/application.rb.
We do this, among other reasons, because it allows us to test the error handling code without having warnings appear all over the place during the spec run.
In this case, the error should probably be a Reek::Errors::ConfigFileError. It will be handled here:
reek/lib/reek/cli/application.rb
Line 48 in b1fa495
| detectors_configuration.each do |name, configuration| | ||
| detector = key_to_smell_detector(name) | ||
| self[detector] = (self[detector] || {}).merge configuration | ||
| if configuration |

Empty configs should be filtered out earlier on. In fact, if you move the handling of the error, Reek will not run with nil configurations so this condition will no longer be needed.

An alternative solution would be to move to |

Agree with all of @mvz comments so far :) |

The current yaml schema validator is outdated and does not seem to have good documentation.
