```
 irb(main):001:0> test = some_string if (some_string = "test")
(irb):1: warning: found = in conditional, should be ==
NameError: undefined local variable or method `some_string' for main:Object
Did you mean?  some_string
	from (irb):1
	from /home/tgxworld/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
```

I think assignment in a one liner if statement isn't encouraged but I found the suggestion to be quite confusing.
