Rubocop: Exclude files from a list given on command line

Question

I run rubocop from my pre-commit hook script:

bin/bundle exec rubocop ${FILES}

with ${FILES} being the list of files staged for commit. This does not, however, honour the contents of the AllCops/Exclude section in rubocop.yml.

Since there are files that will always generate offences (e.g. schema.rb), is there a way to make the config Exclude section precede the command line parameters?

Answer 1

rubocop has command-line option --force-exclusion which excludes files specified in the .rubocop.yml Exclude section. This was added on pull request 922.
