Frodo 2

Frodo 2 is the second version of Frodo, mainly used to make easier debugging projects where RxJava 2 is used. Just annotated your code and voilá!

• On Android projects (both Kotlin and Java): It is safe to persist any Frodo 2 annotation in the codebase since the code generator will ONLY work on debug versions of the application where the plugin is applied.

• On pure Kotlin/Java projects: EXPERIMENTAL, you can keep the annotation in the source code but you have to manually enable/disable the code generation (check Enabling Frodo 2 section).

RxJava 2 building blocks supported:

• Flowable<T>
• Observable<T>
• Single<T>
• Maybe<T>
• Completable

Check Main Features Section below for more details.

Main Features

}

Frodo2 => [@Flowable :: @InClass -> FlowableSamples :: @Method -> numbers()]

@RxLogSingle
Single<String> string() {
  return Single.just("My Value");
}

Frodo2 => [@Single :: @InClass -> SingleSamples :: @Method -> string()]
Frodo2 => [@Single#string -> onSubscribe()]
Frodo2 => [@Single#string -> onSuccess() -> My Value]
Frodo2 => [@Single#string -> @Emitted -> 1 element :: @Time -> 0 ms]
Frodo2 => [@Single#string -> @ObserveOn -> RxCachedThreadScheduler-1]

• @RxLogMaybe: Annotated functions which return io.reactivex.Maybe<T> will print the following information on the log output:

@RxLogMaybe
Maybe<Integer> number() {
  return Maybe.just(1);
}

Frodo2 => [@Maybe :: @InClass -> MaybeSamples :: @Method -> number()]
Frodo2 => [@Maybe#number -> onSubscribe()]
Frodo2 => [@Maybe#number -> onSuccess() -> 1]
Frodo2 => [@Maybe#number -> @Emitted -> 1 element :: @Time -> 0 ms]
Frodo2 => [@Maybe#number -> @ObserveOn -> RxNewThreadScheduler-1]

• @RxLogCompletable: Annotated functions which return io.reactivex.Completable will print the following information on the log output:

@RxLogCompletable
Completable doSomething() {
  return Completable.fromAction(new Action() {
    @Override public void run() throws Exception {
      Thread.sleep(1000);
    }
  });
}

Frodo2 => [@Completable :: @InClass -> CompletableSamples :: @Method -> doSomething()]
Frodo2 => [@Completable#doSomething -> onSubscribe()]
Frodo2 => [@Completable#doSomething -> onComplete()]
Frodo2 => [@Completable#doSomething -> @Emitted -> 0 elements :: @Time -> 1003 ms]

Enabling Frodo 2

To enable Frodo, a gradle plugin must be applied in your build.gradle:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.fernandocejas.frodo2:frodo2-plugin:$project.version"
  }
}

apply plugin: 'com.fernandocejas.frodo2'

//By default frodo2 is ON, although
//we can enable-disable it with this configuration.
frodo2 {
  enabled = true
}

Experimental

• Frodo 2 works only on Android, Java and Kotlin* projects using Gradle as Build System.

• In pure Java/Kotlin projects all the debug information will be display using System.out (NOT the case of Android which displays on the logcat). The idea for future versions is to be able to use different Loggers like Log4J or any other alternative for example.

• Contributions are more than welcome.

Architecture Overview

It generates and weaves code based on annotations at compile time. This code is injected using Aspect Oriented Programming with AspectJ.

Known issues

1 - Limitation: Frodo 1 has the ability to detect @SubscribeOn thread but RxJava 2 does not offer any way to grab this information so only @ObserveOn thread information is displayed at the moment.

2 - On Android: Multi module setup (application + android library) will not log annotated methods/classes from Android Library Module but will do it on Android Application Module. The reason behind this, is that the Android Gradle Plugin will build all Android Libraries as release versions, for instance, Frodo is not able to weave any code on the annotated methods/classes (Remember that only weaves in debug versions). There is a workaround for forcing debug versions of your Android Libraries (just be careful in case this is forgotten and you end up shipping a version of your app with RxJava Logging enabled) by adding this line in your build.gradle file:

android {
  defaultPublishConfig "debug"
}

Local Development

Clone the repo and use the scripts listed below in order to to run/install/execute frodo 2 locally:

• ./install_frodo2.sh - One time execution command for installing frodo library and dependencies.
• ./run_frodo2_android.sh - Compiles frodo2 and run the android sample application.
• ./run_frodo2_java - Compiles frodo2 and run the java sample application.
• ./gradlew runUnitTests - Execute all unit tests in the project.
