Here’s a small bugfix release with a big parser update!

Huge thanks as always to Ryan Davis for maintaining ruby_parser.

Changes since 5.1.1:

• Updated ruby_parser (Ryan Davis)
• Fix issue where the previous output is still visible (Jason Frey)
• Handle cases where enums are not symbols (#1627)
• Support newer Haml with ::Haml::AttributeBuilder.build
• Fix sorting with nil line numbers

Updated RubyParser

Once again, Ryan Davis comes through with a great update of ruby_parser including support for newer Ruby 2.7 and 3.0 syntaxes as well as many other fixes and improvements.

(changes)

Output Cleanup

Jason Frey cleaned up the Processing libs... updates so it doesn’t look like Processing libs...ssed anymore.

(changes)

Enums Without Symbols

Calls to enum where the first argument is not a symbol will be ignored for now.

(changes)

Newer Haml

In Haml 5.2.2 the ::Haml::AttributeBuilder.build method started popping up and Brakeman was treating it as suspicious.

For now, ignoring it because it seems pretty safe.

(changes)

Sorting with Missing Line Numbers

In some, apparently rare cases, if two warnings have the same confidence, warning type, and are in the same file, but have nil line numbers, then it could (but doesn’t always) cause a sorting error.
