You need to tell RuboCop to load the Minitest extension. There are three ways to do this: ### RuboCop configuration file Put this into your `.rubocop.yml`. ```yaml require: rubocop-minitest ``` Now you can run `rubocop` and it will automatically load the RuboCop Minitest cops together with the standard cops. ### Command line ```sh rubocop --require rubocop-minitest ``` ### Rake task ```ruby RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task| task.requires << 'rubocop-minitest' end ```
