How to fix   Long Method   

Long Method

Small methods make your code easier to understand, in particular if combined with a good name. Besides, if your method is small, finding a good name is usually much easier.

For example, if you find yourself adding comments to a method's body, this is usually a good sign to extract the commented part to a new method, and use the comment as a starting point when coming up with a good name for this new method.

    As you can see you don't need to copy additional keyword-arguments you
589
    introduced from ``create_arguments()`` to ``generate_config()`` and
590
    vice-versa. ``linter`` takes care of forwarding the right arguments to the
591
    right place, so you are able to avoid signature duplication.
592
593
    If you override ``process_output``, you have the same feature like above
594
    (auto-forwarding of the right arguments defined in your function
595
    signature).

597
    Note when overriding ``process_output``: Providing a single output stream
598
    (via ``use_stdout`` or ``use_stderr``) puts the according string attained
599
    from the stream into parameter ``output``, providing both output streams
600
    inputs a tuple with ``(stdout, stderr)``. Providing ``use_stdout=False``
601
    and ``use_stderr=False`` raises a ``ValueError``. By default ``use_stdout``
602
    is ``True`` and ``use_stderr`` is ``False``.

605
    Bear description shall be provided at class level.
606
    If you document your additional parameters inside ``create_arguments``,
607
    ``generate_config`` and ``process_output``, beware that conflicting
608
    documentation between them may be overridden. Document duplicated
609
    parameters inside ``create_arguments`` first, then in ``generate_config``
610
    and after that inside ``process_output``.

614
615
    :param executable:
616
        The linter tool.
617
    :param use_stdin:
618
        Whether the input file is sent via stdin instead of passing it over the
619
        command-line-interface.
620
    :param use_stdout:
621
        Whether to use the stdout output stream.
622
    :param use_stderr:
623
        Whether to use the stderr output stream.
624
    :param config_suffix:
625
        The suffix-string to append to the filename of the configuration file
626
        created when ``generate_config`` is supplied. Useful if your executable
627
        expects getting a specific file-type with specific file-ending for the
628
        configuration file.
629
    :param executable_check_fail_info:
630
        Information that is provided together with the fail message from the
631
        normal executable check. By default no additional info is printed.
632
    :param prerequisite_check_command:
633
        A custom command to check for when ``check_prerequisites`` gets
634
        invoked (via ``subprocess.check_call()``). Must be an ``Iterable``.
635
    :param prerequisite_check_fail_message:
636
        A custom message that gets displayed when ``check_prerequisites``
637
        fails while invoking ``prerequisite_check_command``. Can only be
638
        provided together with ``prerequisite_check_command``.
639
    :param output_format:
640
        The output format of the underlying executable. Valid values are
641
642
        - ``None``: Define your own format by overriding ``process_output``.
643
          Overriding ``process_output`` is then mandatory, not specifying it
644
          raises a ``ValueError``.
645
        - ``'regex'``: Parse output using a regex. See parameter
646
          ``output_regex``.
647
        - ``'corrected'``: The output is the corrected of the given file. Diffs
648
          are then generated to supply patches for results.
649
650
        Passing something else raises a ``ValueError``.
651
    :param output_regex:
652
        The regex expression as a string that is used to parse the output
653
        generated by the underlying executable. It should use as many of the
654
        following named groups (via ``(?P<name>...)``) to provide a good
655
        result:
656
657
        - line - The line where the issue starts.
658
        - column - The column where the issue starts.
659
        - end_line - The line where the issue ends.
660
        - end_column - The column where the issue ends.
661
        - severity - The severity of the issue.
662
        - message - The message of the result.
663
        - origin - The origin of the issue.
664
        - additional_info - Additional info provided by the issue.
665
666
        The groups ``line``, ``column``, ``end_line`` and ``end_column`` don't
667
        have to match numbers only, they can also match nothing, the generated
668
        ``Result`` is filled automatically with ``None`` then for the
669
        appropriate properties.
670
671
        Needs to be provided if ``output_format`` is ``'regex'``.
672
    :param severity_map:
673
        A dict used to map a severity string (captured from the
674
        ``output_regex`` with the named group ``severity``) to an actual
675
        ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY`` for a result. Severity strings are
676
        mapped **case-insensitive**!
677
678
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.MAJOR``: Mapped by ``error``.
679
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.NORMAL``: Mapped by ``warning`` or ``warn``.
680
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.MINOR``: Mapped by ``info``.
681
682
        A ``ValueError`` is raised when the named group ``severity`` is not
683
        used inside ``output_regex`` and this parameter is given.
684
    :param diff_severity:
685
        The severity to use for all results if ``output_format`` is
686
        ``'corrected'``. By default this value is
687
        ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY.NORMAL``. The given value needs to be
688
        defined inside ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY``.
689
    :param result_message:
690
        The message-string to use for all results. Can be used only together
691
        with ``corrected`` or ``regex`` output format. When using
692
        ``corrected``, the default value is ``"Inconsistency found."``, while
693
        for ``regex`` this static message is disabled and the message matched
694
        by ``output_regex`` is used instead.
695
    :param diff_distance:
696
        Number of unchanged lines that are allowed in between two changed lines
697
        so they get yielded as one diff if ``corrected`` output-format is
698
        given. If a negative distance is given, every change will be yielded as
699
        an own diff, even if they are right beneath each other. By default this
700
        value is ``1``.
701
    :raises ValueError:
702
        Raised when invalid options are supplied.
703
    :raises TypeError:
704
        Raised when incompatible types are supplied.
705
        See parameter documentations for allowed types.
706
    :return:
707
        A ``LocalBear`` derivation that lints code using an external tool.
