`Autocorrect: contextual` causing error

[gavindidrichsen]

The latest versions of rubocop-factory_bot and rubocop-respec_rails are causing rubocop-rspec to break with something like the following:

➜  dependency_checker git:(main) bundle exec rubocop
Error: Property AutoCorrect of cop FactoryBot/CreateList is supposed to be a boolean and contextual is not.
➜  dependency_checker git:(main) 

Manually correcting the above gems fixes the issue, e.g.,

➜  gems git:(main) ✗ git diff
diff --git a/rubocop-factory_bot-2.26.0/config/default.yml b/rubocop-factory_bot-2.26.0/config/default.yml

Given this repository as an example, puppetlabs/dependency_checker, I can see from the Gemspec.lock the rubocop-rspec seems to be pulling the above dependencies in.

    rubocop-rspec (2.30.0)
      rubocop (~> 1.40)
      rubocop-capybara (~> 2.17)
      rubocop-factory_bot (~> 2.22)
      rubocop-rspec_rails (~> 2.28)

Excluding the lates versions as below fixes the issue:

gem 'rubocop-factory_bot', '!= 2.26.0', require: false
gem 'rubocop-rspec_rails', '!= 2.29.0', require: false

A workaround would be to update rubocop to a bersion that supports “contextual”.

Do we need to bump the dependency like we planned to here? https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-rspec/pull/1901

Wondering why https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-rspec/pull/1882 didn’t work? Wondering why ‘bundle install’ output is so dry https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-rspec/actions/runs/9148652715/job/25151426029

Confirming that CI testing with the oldest RuboCop version does indeed work; see #1920.

The problem must be elsewhere.

I have not yet figured out why this happens but at least v1.61 or higher seems to solve it.

[jminterwebs]

Having the same issue setting to 1.61 does not fix the issue.

[bquorning]

Can the problem solved by upgrading to rubocop-rspec v3.0.1?

[jminterwebs]

v3.0.1 appears to have fixed it all.

[ydah]

I checked it, and it seems fixed 👍🏻
