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.

    ...                          file,
595
    ...                          config_file):
596
    ...         return "--lint", filename, "--config", config_file
597
598
    As you can see you don't need to copy additional keyword-arguments you
599
    introduced from ``create_arguments()`` to ``generate_config()`` and
600
    vice-versa. ``linter`` takes care of forwarding the right arguments to the
601
    right place, so you are able to avoid signature duplication.
602
603
    If you override ``process_output``, you have the same feature like above
604
    (auto-forwarding of the right arguments defined in your function
605
    signature).
606
607
    Note when overriding ``process_output``: Providing a single output stream
608
    (via ``use_stdout`` or ``use_stderr``) puts the according string attained
609
    from the stream into parameter ``output``, providing both output streams
610
    inputs a tuple with ``(stdout, stderr)``. Providing ``use_stdout=False``
611
    and ``use_stderr=False`` raises a ``ValueError``. By default ``use_stdout``
612
    is ``True`` and ``use_stderr`` is ``False``.
613
614
    Documentation:
615
    Bear description shall be provided at class level.
616
    If you document your additional parameters inside ``create_arguments``,
617
    ``generate_config`` and ``process_output``, beware that conflicting
618
    documentation between them may be overridden. Document duplicated
619
    parameters inside ``create_arguments`` first, then in ``generate_config``
620
    and after that inside ``process_output``.

624
625
    :param executable:
626
        The linter tool.
627
    :param use_stdin:
628
        Whether the input file is sent via stdin instead of passing it over the
629
        command-line-interface.
630
    :param use_stdout:
631
        Whether to use the stdout output stream.
632
    :param use_stderr:
633
        Whether to use the stderr output stream.
634
    :param config_suffix:
635
        The suffix-string to append to the filename of the configuration file
636
        created when ``generate_config`` is supplied. Useful if your executable
637
        expects getting a specific file-type with specific file-ending for the
638
        configuration file.
639
    :param executable_check_fail_info:
640
        Information that is provided together with the fail message from the
641
        normal executable check. By default no additional info is printed.
642
    :param prerequisite_check_command:
643
        A custom command to check for when ``check_prerequisites`` gets
644
        invoked (via ``subprocess.check_call()``). Must be an ``Iterable``.
645
    :param prerequisite_check_fail_message:
646
        A custom message that gets displayed when ``check_prerequisites``
647
        fails while invoking ``prerequisite_check_command``. Can only be
648
        provided together with ``prerequisite_check_command``.
649
    :param output_format:
650
        The output format of the underlying executable. Valid values are
651
652
        - ``None``: Define your own format by overriding ``process_output``.
653
          Overriding ``process_output`` is then mandatory, not specifying it
654
          raises a ``ValueError``.
655
        - ``'regex'``: Parse output using a regex. See parameter
656
          ``output_regex``.
657
        - ``'corrected'``: The output is the corrected of the given file. Diffs
658
          are then generated to supply patches for results.
659
660
        Passing something else raises a ``ValueError``.
661
    :param output_regex:
662
        The regex expression as a string that is used to parse the output
663
        generated by the underlying executable. It should use as many of the
664
        following named groups (via ``(?P<name>...)``) to provide a good
665
        result:
666
667
        - line - The line where the issue starts.
668
        - column - The column where the issue starts.
669
        - end_line - The line where the issue ends.
670
        - end_column - The column where the issue ends.
671
        - severity - The severity of the issue.
672
        - message - The message of the result.
673
        - origin - The origin of the issue.
674
        - additional_info - Additional info provided by the issue.
675
676
        The groups ``line``, ``column``, ``end_line`` and ``end_column`` don't
677
        have to match numbers only, they can also match nothing, the generated
678
        ``Result`` is filled automatically with ``None`` then for the
679
        appropriate properties.
680
681
        Needs to be provided if ``output_format`` is ``'regex'``.
682
    :param severity_map:
683
        A dict used to map a severity string (captured from the
684
        ``output_regex`` with the named group ``severity``) to an actual
685
        ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY`` for a result. Severity strings are
686
        mapped **case-insensitive**!
687
688
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.MAJOR``: Mapped by ``error``.
689
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.NORMAL``: Mapped by ``warning`` or ``warn``.
690
        - ``RESULT_SEVERITY.MINOR``: Mapped by ``info``.
691
692
        A ``ValueError`` is raised when the named group ``severity`` is not
693
        used inside ``output_regex`` and this parameter is given.
694
    :param diff_severity:
695
        The severity to use for all results if ``output_format`` is
696
        ``'corrected'``. By default this value is
697
        ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY.NORMAL``. The given value needs to be
698
        defined inside ``coalib.results.RESULT_SEVERITY``.
699
    :param result_message:
700
        The message-string to use for all results. Can be used only together
701
        with ``corrected`` or ``regex`` output format. When using
702
        ``corrected``, the default value is ``"Inconsistency found."``, while
703
        for ``regex`` this static message is disabled and the message matched
704
        by ``output_regex`` is used instead.
705
    :param diff_distance:
706
        Number of unchanged lines that are allowed in between two changed lines
707
        so they get yielded as one diff if ``corrected`` output-format is
708
        given. If a negative distance is given, every change will be yielded as
709
        an own diff, even if they are right beneath each other. By default this
710
        value is ``1``.
711
    :raises ValueError:
712
        Raised when invalid options are supplied.
713
    :raises TypeError:
714
        Raised when incompatible types are supplied.
715
        See parameter documentations for allowed types.
716
    :return:
717
        A ``LocalBear`` derivation that lints code using an external tool.
