Use "require: false" with rubocop in Gemfile

[dcki]

Is it possible to make rails_apps_composer add "require: false" for rubocop when adding it to a Gemfile?

A Rails app I work on was built a couple of months ago using this gem. I'm not sure exactly how the gem was used to create the project.

The resulting Gemfile checked in by a collaborator included the rubocop gem without specifying "require: false". In rubocop's README.md it says to specify "require: false" for rubocop if you put it in a Gemfile. Since this didn't happen there were "NameError: uninitialized constant Net::HTTP" errors in the production environment. (Fortunately this app has not been deployed to production yet.)

This is how the error occurred:

• rubocop requires net/http.
• rubocop is only in the development and test groups in the Gemfile created using rails_apps_composer, so rubocop and net/http were required in the development environment but not in the production environment.
• Some code in the app referenced Net::HTTP without requiring it, and it worked in development so it was assumed it was correct.

This seems like a cool project, thanks for your work on it.
