[ruby-talk:444411] Code analisys
I have some old code to work with that is more than a little over engineered. A lot of the code is a method in class A calls a method in class B which calls a method in class C, turtles all the way down and mostly class methods and not instance methods. But most of these methods pretty much do nothing but call methods in another class. I swear there are loops in there too! Is there a tool that would allow me to graph this so I might see where the actual work is being done and shorten these branches?

Thanks I have had a quick look at code explorer and there are some issues. The greatest for me is that it does not identify where one class calls another class. It is this chain of class A calls class B ... calls class Z that is causing me the greatest issues. It also incorrectly reports recursive calls that are not. For example class Fred def initialize @socket = Socket.new end def close @socket.close end def fred puts "Hello World" end end The close method from Fred will be reported as a recursive call when it is just named the same in a different class. This makes the diagrams less useful For the example above output like below would be a great step forward to building the graph I need. Fortunately the codebase has lots of class methods class Fred method initialise ref Socket method close call Socket method fred Code mapper looks interesting as it is built from a runtime trace but assumes that I can get this POS to run 😤 I think that I am going to have to look into the parser gem and put some code together Thanks for the suggestions, I will likely be looking through them to write my own On Tue, 6 Feb 2024 at 14:04, Frank J.
