How to set rubocop case indentation correctly

How do I get rubo-cop to accept the following as correct for case select:

variable = case some_other_variable
  when 'some value' then 'some result'
  when 'some other value' then 'some other result'
  when 'one more value'  then 'one more result'
end

I have this currently in my .rubocop.yml:

CaseIndentation:
  EnforcedStyle: end
  IndentOneStep: true

but it keeps erroring like this:

C: Layout/CaseIndentation: Indent when one step more than end.
    when 'some value' then 'some result'

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it ?

It says

  • Indent when as deep as case
  • When assigning the result of a conditional expression to a variable, preserve the usual alignment of its branches

So it could be valid for Rubocop this way:

variable = case some_other_variable
           when 'some value' then 'some result'
           when 'some other value' then 'some other result'
           when 'one more value' then 'one more result'
           end

Or this way

variable =
  case some_other_variable
  when 'some value' then 'some result'
  when 'some other value' then 'some other result'
  when 'one more value' then 'one more result'
  end
