Style/RedundantLineContinuation: false positive

[akimd]

Hi,

In the following example the backslash is absolutely needed, yet the cop wants to get rid of it.

$ cat backslash.rb
puts foo(123,
         123) \
     == bar

$ bundle exec rubocop backslash.rb
Inspecting 1 file
C

Offenses:

backslash.rb:1:1: C: [Correctable] Style/FrozenStringLiteralComment: Missing frozen string literal comment.
puts foo(123,
^
backslash.rb:2:15: C: [Correctable] Style/RedundantLineContinuation: Redundant line continuation.
         123) \ ...
              ^

1 file inspected, 2 offenses detected, 2 offenses autocorrectable

Cheers!

This is a false positive, not a false negative.

[akimd]

Of course, sorry.

Another example of false positive. I don't know if it's the same bug.

# frozen_string_literal: true

def fun
  foo
    .bar(12) \
  || baz
end

$ bundle exec rubocop contline.rb
