git-stacktrace

git-stacktrace is a tool to help you associate git commits with stacktraces.

It helps you identify related commits by looking at:

• commits in given range that touched files present in the stacktrace
• commits in given range that added/removed code present in the stacktrace

Supported Languages

• Python
• Java
• JavaScript

Development

Run tests with: tox

Installation

$ pip install git_stacktrace

Usage

Run git stacktrace within a git initialized directory.

usage: git stacktrace [<options>] [<RANGE>] < stacktrace from stdin

Lookup commits related to a given stacktrace.

positional arguments:
  range                 git commit range to use

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --since <date1>       show commits more recent than a specific date (from
                        git-log)
  --server              start a webserver to visually interact with git-
                        stacktrace
  --port PORT           Server port
  -f, --fast            Speed things up by not running pickaxe if the file for
                        a line of code cannot be found
  -b [BRANCH], --branch [BRANCH]
                        Git branch. If using --since, use this to specify
                        which branch to run since on. Runs on current branch
                        by default
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -d, --debug           Enable debug logging

For the Python API see: git_stacktrace/api.py

To run as a web server: git stacktrace --server --port=8080 or GIT_STACKTRACE_PORT=8080 git stacktrace --server

Use the web server as an API:

$ curl \
  -d '{"option-type":"by-date", "since":"1.day", "trace":"..."}' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST http://localhost:8080/

Example output:

$ git stacktrace --since=1.day < trace

   result = getattr(self, method_name)()
 File "webapp/resources/interests_resource.py", line 232, in get
