Here and there are error reports that some cop fails on an empty file. The latest of them - rubocop/rubocop-minitest#225. Some of the cops already have test cases for empty files, but it is tedious to write them and very often just forgotten.
So I added an empty file into the project so that cops (at least which are not disabled) are always tested (implicitly) on an empty file.
I think, we should add a similar file to the
test/
directory of therubocop-minitest
gem and somewhere to therubocop-rails
too.
