mchanges is a tool which generates csv report for all the changed methods/function body or newly added functions between two java files.
| Command arguments | Function |
|---|---|
| --dir1 | Directory path |
| --dir2 | Directory path |
| --clist | Custom list (.txt) |
| --method-changes | Generates CSV reports for method changes |
| --new-methods | Generates CSV reports for newly added methods |
- mchanges will iterate over all the java files in the directory, (specified by --dir1 and --dir2) and reports fuction body changes or reports newly added functions or both (based on the given options --method-changes, --new-methods).
- --dir2 jave files will be compared with --dir1.
- --clist instead of iterating over all the java files, you can specify selective java files.
- File paths present in .txt(--clist), needs to be relative to directory mentioned in --dir2.
- If --method-changes or --new-methods neither of them is specified then by default function body changes is selected i.e --method-changes .
Examples:-
To consider all the java files
mchanges --dir1 /path/v1 --dir2 /path/v2
To consider specific java files
mchanges --dir1 /path/v1 --dir2 /path/v2 --clist FileList.txt
To get the report of newly added files for all the java files
mchanges --dir1 /path/v1 --dir2 /path/v2 --new-methods
To get the report of newly added files and function body changes for specific java files
mchanges --dir1 /path/v1 --dir2 /path/v2 --clist FileList.txt --method-changes --new-methods
Note:-
Currently, inner classes are ignored.
Class name which is same as File name are only considered.
Future Dev:-
Modify csv output.
Generate report as HTML.
Support for inner classes.
Support for multiple java classes within java file.
Windows:-
