Usage

Running ADD

1. Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/lascam-UFU/automatic-diff-dissection.git

2. Compile the project:

$ cd automatic-diff-dissection
$ mvn package -DskipTests

3. Locate the .jar file and call it:

$ ls target/*jar
target/automatic-diff-dissection-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
target/automatic-diff-dissection-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
target/automatic-diff-dissection-1.1-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar
$ java -jar target/automatic-diff-dissection-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar <arguments>

Note that ADD receives a set of arguments to run. The argument options are:

  (-m|--launcherMode) <REPAIR_PATTERNS;REPAIR_ACTIONS;METRICS;ALL>
        Provide the launcher mode, which is the type of the features that will
        be extracted.

  (-b|--bugId) <bugId>
        Provide the bug id (this is used only for information presentation).

  --buggySourceDirectory <buggySourceDirectory>
        Provide the path to the buggy source code directory of the bug.

  --diff <diffPath>
        Provide the path to the diff file.

  [(-o|--output) <outputDirectory>]
        Provide an existing path to output the extracted features as a JSON file
        (optional).

The results will be printed in the terminal, and if a path was provided to the argument outputDirectory, the results will be saved in a JSON file.

TODO: to show an usage case with one bug.

Example on a dataset: extract features from Defects4J patches

1. Clone tdurieux/pattern-detector-experiment anywhere:

$ git clone https://github.com/tdurieux/pattern-detector-experiment.git

2. Change the configuration in /automatic-diff-dissection/scripts/defects4j/run-tool-on-defects4j/config.cfg file:

• checkout must be set with the path of the repository cloned in step 1 plus /benchmark/defects4j.

• output should be set with an existing path to output the extracted features as a JSON file (optional).

3. Enter in the directory where this project was cloned and compile this project:

$ mvn package -DskipTests

4. Run the feature extractor:

$ python scripts/defects4j/run-tool-on-defects4j/Launch.py <REPAIR_PATTERNS;REPAIR_ACTIONS;METRICS;ALL>

5. Check out the folder you set output to in step 2.
