Data tables

Method quality metrics

io.moderne.prethink.table.MethodQualityMetrics

Per-method code quality metrics including cyclomatic complexity, cognitive complexity, nesting depth, Halstead measures, and ABC metric.

Column	Description
Source path	The path to the source file containing the method.
Class name	The fully qualified name of the containing class.
Method name	The simple name of the method.
Method signature	The full method signature including parameter types.
Cyclomatic complexity	Number of linearly independent paths through the method. 1-10 low, 11-20 moderate, 21-50 high, 50+ very high.
Cognitive complexity	Weighted complexity penalizing nesting depth and flow-breaking structures.
Max nesting depth	Maximum depth of nested control structures.
Line count	Number of lines in the method body.
Parameter count	Number of parameters the method accepts.
ABC score	ABC metric magnitude: sqrt(A^2 + B^2 + C^2) where A=assignments, B=branches (calls), C=conditions.
Assignments	Number of assignment operations (the A in ABC metric).
Branches	Number of method/function calls (the B in ABC metric).
Conditions	Number of boolean conditions (the C in ABC metric).
Halstead volume	Information content of the method: N * log2(n) where N=total operators+operands, n=distinct operators+operands.
Halstead difficulty	Error proneness: (n1/2) * (N2/n2) where n1=distinct operators, N2=total operands, n2=distinct operands.
Halstead estimated bugs	Estimated number of delivered bugs: E^(2/3) / 3000 where E = difficulty * volume.

Source files that had results

org.openrewrite.table.SourcesFileResults

Source files that were modified by the recipe run.

Column	Description
Source path before the run	The source path of the file before the run. null when a source file was created during the run.
Source path after the run	A recipe may modify the source path. This is the path after the run. null when a source file was deleted during the run.
Parent of the recipe that made changes	In a hierarchical recipe, the parent of the recipe that made a change. Empty if this is the root of a hierarchy or if the recipe is not hierarchical at all.
Recipe that made changes	The specific recipe that made a change.
Estimated time saving	An estimated effort that a developer to fix manually instead of using this recipe, in unit of seconds.
Cycle	The recipe cycle in which the change was made.

Source files that had search results

org.openrewrite.table.SearchResults

Search results that were found during the recipe run.

Column	Description
Source path of search result before the run	The source path of the file with the search result markers present.
Source path of search result after run the run	A recipe may modify the source path. This is the path after the run. null when a source file was deleted during the run.
Result	The trimmed printed tree of the LST element that the marker is attached to.
Description	The content of the description of the marker.
Recipe that added the search marker	The specific recipe that added the Search marker.

Source files that errored on a recipe

org.openrewrite.table.SourcesFileErrors

The details of all errors produced by a recipe run.

Column	Description
Source path	The file that failed to parse.
Recipe that made changes	The specific recipe that made a change.
Stack trace	The stack trace of the failure.

Recipe performance

org.openrewrite.table.RecipeRunStats

Statistics used in analyzing the performance of recipes.

Column	Description
The recipe	The recipe whose stats are being measured both individually and cumulatively.
Source file count	The number of source files the recipe ran over.
Source file changed count	The number of source files which were changed in the recipe run. Includes files created, deleted, and edited.
Cumulative scanning time (ns)	The total time spent across the scanning phase of this recipe.
Max scanning time (ns)	The max time scanning any one source file.
Cumulative edit time (ns)	The total time spent across the editing phase of this recipe.
Max edit time (ns)	The max time editing any one source file.
