Plugin for static code analysis of Rails app

Question

Hi,

I want to run a static code analysis over my Rails app. Is there a tool available that can help me do this?

Thanks, Sivakumar.

Try metric-fu - it bundles various Rails analysis tools and outputs the results to your browser.

I did have some difficulty getting Saikuro (a cyclomatic complexity analyser) to work last time I tried it, but it was a while ago and I can't remember exactly what the problem was now...
