CodingTracker does not record the description and comment attributes of refactorings

Open reprogrammer opened this issue 13 years ago • 1 comments

CodingTracker captures all arguments of refactoring descriptors and the project, id, and flags attributes but not the description and comment attributes. This makes the matching of CodingSpectator and CodingTracker more difficult (See issue #343). CodingTracker should include the description and comment attributes in its refactoring descriptors.

@reprogrammer: I am not sure that CodingTracker should capture description and comment attributes. First of all, it would not help with the existing data. Also, it is not needed for CodingTracker's purposes and only will unnecessary increase the sequence size. Finally, it will require to change the format of the sequences again, which would lead to many additional overheads. So, I think it would be better to find a way to match CodingSpectator and CodingTracker refactorings without description and comment attributes.
