Non-ASCII source files

Reek doesn’t offer a direct way to specify that your source file is encoded as UTF-8 etc, but there is a workaround if you need it:

The Reek gem includes the class Reek::RakeTask, which makes it easy to run Reek from a rakefile. And this task has an attribute ruby_opts, which is an array of strings to be passed as arguments directly to the Ruby interpreter. So you can use Reek to check for smells in non-ASCII files by adding something like this to your rakefile:

require 'reek/rake_task'

Reek::RakeTask.new(‘utf8_file’) do |t|

  t.source_files = “my_utf8_file.rb”

  t.ruby_opts = [“-Ku”]

end
