Decrease ABC threshold step by step (from 60 to 35)

Description

Complex (according to ABC metric) methods are hard to read, especially for early contributors. Current threshold ABC size in rubocop is about 60 😱

Rubocop default level is 15 => 575 offenses

Some statistics on different benchmarks:

• ABC size 35 => 45 offences
• ABC size 40 => 22 offences
• ABC size 50 => 5 offences
• ABC size 55 => 3 offences (2 in CE, 1 in EE)

Proposal

I think that level 35 is achievable in the nearest future. So I prepared checklist for first steps.

Decrease it step by step (values in TODO were checked on 17 Oct 2017):

  • refactor app/controllers/admin/projects_controller.rb:5:3 ABC = 57.08

  • refactor lib/github/import.rb:223:5 ABC = 56.96
• Step to 55.24 - !13969 (closed) - obsolete
  • refactor lib/github/import.rb:167:5 ABC = 55.25
  • refactor app/controllers/autocomplete_controller.rb:6:3 ABC = 55.25 - EE (51.21 in CE) - will be reduced after !13778 (merged)
