It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
This adds rubocop-rspec, and enables some cops that were either already passing or are passing now, after fixing them in this commit.
Some new cops are disabled for now, with annotation: "TODO" or "To be decided". Those either need to be discussed first, or require manual changes, or the number of found and fixed offenses is too large to bundle them up in a single PR.
Includes:
* DEV: Update rubocop's `TargetRubyVersion` to 2.6
* DEV: Enable RSpec/VoidExpect
* DEV: Enable RSpec/SharedContext
* DEV: Enable RSpec/EmptyExampleGroup (Removed an obsolete empty spec file)
* DEV: Enable RSpec/ItBehavesLike
* DEV: Remove RSpec/ScatteredLet (It's too strict, as it doesn't recognize fab! as a let-like)
* DEV: Remove RSpec/MultipleExpectations
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
