class RuboCop::Cop::Lint::NonDeterministicRequireOrder

Dir` and `Dir.glob(…)` do not make any guarantees about the order in which files are returned. The final order is determined by the operating system and file system. This means that using them in cases where the order matters, such as requiring files, can lead to intermittent failures that are hard to debug. To ensure this doesn’t happen, always sort the list.

‘Dir.glob` and `Dir[]` sort globbed results by default in Ruby 3.0. So all bad cases are acceptable when Ruby 3.0 or higher are used.

NOTE: This cop will be deprecated and removed when supporting only Ruby 3.0 and higher.

@safety

This cop is unsafe in the case where sorting files changes existing
expected behavior.

@example

# bad
Dir["./lib/**/*.rb"].each do |file|
  require file
end

# good
Dir["./lib/**/*.rb"].sort.each do |file|
  require file
end

# bad
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join(__dir__, 'test', '*.rb')) do |file|
  require file
end

# good
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join(__dir__, 'test', '*.rb')).sort.each do |file|
  require file
end

# bad
Dir['./lib/**/*.rb'].each(&method(:require))

# good
Dir['./lib/**/*.rb'].sort.each(&method(:require))

# bad
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join('test', '*.rb'), &method(:require))

# good
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join('test', '*.rb')).sort.each(&method(:require))

# good - Respect intent if `sort` keyword option is specified in Ruby 3.0 or higher.
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join(__dir__, 'test', '*.rb'), sort: false).each(&method(:require))
