Subversive & Subclipse plugin logic duplicated [message #28909] Sun, 30 November 2008 10:11 Go to next message

Hello,

While trying to implement an internationalized handling of the thrown exceptions of subversion's plugin I remarked both Subclipse and Subversive plugins are quite duplicated code. This makes the two plugins much harder to maintain and their behavior might be inconsistent (which is the case actually). As a developer I dislike duplicated code much and I would like to get the common parts to be unique.

I would like to get the opinion of the Buckminster's developer community regarding this issue. I can create a parent plugin for subversive and subclipse to gather common parts.

Let me know what you think about this.

Best regards,
Guillaume

If anyone is working on Subclipse & Subversive plugins please let me know so I could start refactoring without breaking your work.

Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
The reason for the duplicated code is mostly historical. The Subversive
plug-in was provided to us as an external contribution and for them it
was the easiest way to do it.

I fully agree that the code would benefit largely from being refactored
so I'm all in favour if you want to do this.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi Thomas,

I spent a few hours of my (not so) spare time refactoring the plugins. This is a rather complicated task as the two plugins are dealing with different types with no common interface. I hope it to be finished in the next few days. I'll let you know.

Regards,
Guillaume

Ok, this is it. I put a first version of the refactoring to the trunk.
I did my best not to introduce any bugs but I know by experience this is rather impossible.

I tested a few resolution + materialization including the buckminster-dev query, but I need more tests to be confident in the code.
I tested with Subclipse plugin but I need the other plugin to be tested also.

This is the first layer allowing us to handle correctly the i18n for SVN I'll try to add in the next days.

Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
Great! I have Subversive set up on my machine so I can test that.

Did you update the relevant features with the new plug-in? The CSPEC of
the external update site needs to be update too I think. I can do all
that if you are uncertain. Let me know in that case.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

No features nor CSPEC update sorry. I solely added my plugin to the list of dependencies of the subclipse & subversive plugins.
I would greatly appreciate if you could do that for me.

Please note the code need comments and even more refactoring can be done but at least the common parts are now gathered in a same file.
Still work to do so... I think my code would benefit from peer reviewing so if you feel like it, you're more than welcome. It would be good also to break big portions of code into more fine grained ones thus providing better readability.

OK, I updated the needed features. I also reverted some externalized
parameterized strings used in debug log output. Reason being that the
NLS will format the strings even when debug is turned off. Debug output
is not intended for the end user anyway so we simply exempt those
strings from externalization.

I found one NPE problem related to the shareProject method in the reader
type. The old implementation created the common roots using a static
method and a session instance was not obtained until after that had
happened. Now, the session is initialized before the roots are created
which is bad. It results in a null m_repositoryLocation in the
GenericSession constructor since there are no known repositories. That
in turn leads to the following:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.buckminster.subversive.internal.SubversiveReader Type.updateRepositoryMap(SubversiveReaderType.java:134)
at
org.eclipse.buckminster.subversion.GenericReaderType.sharePr oject(GenericReaderType.java:81)
at
org.eclipse.buckminster.core.materializer.WorkspaceMateriali zer.createProjectBinding(WorkspaceMaterializer.java:366)

I did a peer review on the bundles and other then what I just mentioned
you seem to have done a great job to refactor the bundles. Thanks a
bundle :)

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi Guillaume,
I did two more changes:

1. I discovered that the o.e.buckminster.subversion.commons and
o.e.buckminster.subclipse had dependencies to the subversive bundle
o.e.team.svn.core. That means that in order to run Subclipse, you need
to first install Subversive. I refactored the code so that this
dependency was removed.

2. The top package or o.e.buckminster.subversion.commons was named
o.e.buckminster.subversion (i.e. no commons at the end) so I renamed the
plug-in to match the top package name. This is a convention that we are
using throughout. Since the plug-in itself was renamed, so was the
folder that it resides in so take extra care next time you update your
workspace.

With those changes in place, all tests that I have done seems to go
through without any problems so I'll publish a new version now.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Great Thomas !

You're right about the two points you mentioned.

Regarding 2: actually I named my commons plugin o.e.buckminster.subversion at first and then I renamed it to make it more explicit : this explains the mistakes.

Thank you very much for reviewing my code. I planned to do some more tests today but I haven't been able to... Days are too short !
I hope you haven't discovered awful things in my code ^_^

Best regards,
Guillaume
