This class provides a compatibility layer between prism and Ripper. It functions by parsing the entire tree first and then walking it and executing each of the Ripper callbacks as it goes. To use this class, you treat Prism::Translation::Ripper effectively as you would treat the Ripper class.

Note that this class will serve the most common use cases, but Ripper’s API is extensive and undocumented. It relies on reporting the state of the parser at any given time. We do our best to replicate that here, but because it is a different architecture it is not possible to perfectly replicate the behavior of Ripper.

The main known difference is that we may omit dispatching some events in some cases. This impacts the following events:

  • on_assign_error

  • on_comma

  • on_ignored_nl

  • on_ignored_sp

  • on_kw

  • on_label_end

  • on_lbrace

  • on_lbracket

  • on_lparen

  • on_nl

  • on_op

  • on_operator_ambiguous

  • on_rbrace

  • on_rbracket

  • on_rparen

  • on_semicolon

  • on_sp

  • on_symbeg

  • on_tstring_beg

  • on_tstring_end

Class Methods

Tokenizes the Ruby program and returns an array of an array, which is formatted like [[lineno, column], type, token, state]. The filename argument is mostly ignored. By default, this method does not handle syntax errors in src, use the raise_errors keyword to raise a SyntaxError for an error in src.

require "ripper"
require "pp"

pp Ripper.lex("def m(a) nil end")
#=> [[[1,  0], :on_kw,     "def", FNAME    ],
     [[1,  3], :on_sp,     " ",   FNAME    ],
     [[1,  4], :on_ident,  "m",   ENDFN    ],
     [[1,  5], :on_lparen, "(",   BEG|LABEL],
     [[1,  6], :on_ident,  "a",   ARG      ],
     [[1,  7], :on_rparen, ")",   ENDFN    ],
     [[1,  8], :on_sp,     " ",   BEG      ],
     [[1,  9], :on_kw,     "nil", END      ],
     [[1, 12], :on_sp,     " ",   END      ],
     [[1, 13], :on_kw,     "end", END      ]]

Create a new Translation::Ripper object with the given source.

Parses the given Ruby program read from src. src must be a String or an IO or a object with a gets method.

Parses src and create S-exp tree. Returns more readable tree rather than Ripper.sexp_raw. This method is mainly for developer use. The filename argument is mostly ignored. By default, this method does not handle syntax errors in src, returning nil in such cases. Use the raise_errors keyword to raise a SyntaxError for an error in src.

require "ripper"
require "pp"

pp Ripper.sexp("def m(a) nil end")
  #=> [:program,
       [[:def,
        [:@ident, "m", [1, 4]],
        [:paren, [:params, [[:@ident, "a", [1, 6]]], nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil]],
        [:bodystmt, [[:var_ref, [:@kw, "nil", [1, 9]]]], nil, nil, nil]]]]

Parses src and create S-exp tree. This method is mainly for developer use. The filename argument is mostly ignored. By default, this method does not handle syntax errors in src, returning nil in such cases. Use the raise_errors keyword to raise a SyntaxError for an error in src.

require "ripper"
require "pp"

pp Ripper.sexp_raw("def m(a) nil end")
  #=> [:program,
       [:stmts_add,
        [:stmts_new],
        [:def,
         [:@ident, "m", [1, 4]],
         [:paren, [:params, [[:@ident, "a", [1, 6]]], nil, nil, nil]],
         [:bodystmt,
          [:stmts_add, [:stmts_new], [:var_ref, [:@kw, "nil", [1, 9]]]],
          nil,
          nil,
          nil]]]]

Tokenizes the Ruby program and returns an array of strings. The filename and lineno arguments are mostly ignored, since the return value is just the tokenized input. By default, this method does not handle syntax errors in src, use the raise_errors keyword to raise a SyntaxError for an error in src.

p Ripper.tokenize(“def m(a) nil end”) # => [“def”, “ ”, “m”, “(”, “a”, “)”, “ ”, “nil”, “ ”, “end”]

Instance Methods

This method is called when the parser found syntax error.

This method is provided by the Ripper C extension. It is called when a string needs to be dedented because of a tilde heredoc. It is expected that it will modify the string in place and return the number of bytes that were removed.

True if the parser encountered an error during parsing.

Parse the source and return the result.

This method is called when weak warning is produced by the parser. fmt and args is printf style.
