False positive on Rails/ActiveRecordAliases: Use update instead of update_attributes

[bvicenzo]

I had a possible false positive for this rule when I used a local method named update_attributes.

---

Expected behavior

def update_attributes(raw_attributes)
  {
    name: raw_attributes['nome'],
    date_of_birth: Date.parse(raw_attributes['dataDeNascimento']),
    document_number: raw_attributes['NumeroDoDocumento']
  }
end

user = User.find(1)
user.update(update_attributes)

No issue was pointed out.

Actual behavior

def update_attributes(raw_attributes)
  {
    name: raw_attributes['nome'],
    date_of_birth: Date.parse(raw_attributes['dataDeNascimento']),
    document_number: raw_attributes['NumeroDoDocumento']
  }
end

user = User.find(1)
user.update(update_attributes)
