mchanges's Introduction

mchanges

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:-
x64 compiled code available here.
