- **backout** - The aim of this classifier is to detect patches that might be more likely to be backed-out (because of build or test failures). It could be used for test prioritization/scheduling purposes.
- **defect vs enhancement vs task** - Extension of the **defect** classifier to detect differences also between feature requests and development tasks.
- **defect** - Bugs on Bugzilla aren't always bugs. Sometimes they are feature requests, refactorings, and so on. The aim of this classifier is to distinguish between bugs that are actually bugs and bugs that aren't. The dataset currently contains 2110 bugs, the accuracy of the current classifier is ~93% (precision ~95%, recall ~94%).
- **regression vs non-regression** - Bugzilla has a `regression` keyword to identify bugs that are regressions. Unfortunately it isn't used consistently. The aim of this classifier is to detect bugs that are regressions.
- **regressionrange** - The aim of this classifier is to detect regression bugs that have a regression range vs those that don't.
- **regressor** - The aim of this classifier is to detect patches which are more likely to cause regressions. It could be used to make riskier patches undergo more scrutiny.
- **stepstoreproduce** - The aim of this classifier is to detect bugs that have steps to reproduce vs those that don't.
- **tracking** - The aim of this classifier is to detect bugs to track.
- **uplift** - The aim of this classifier is to detect bugs for which uplift should be approved and bugs for which uplift should not be approved.
Run `pip install -r requirements.txt` and `pip install -r test-requirements.txt`. Depending on the parts of bugbug you want to run, you might need to install dependencies from other requirement files (find them with `find . -name "*requirements*"`).
This project is using [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Please run `pre-commit install` to install the git pre-commit hooks on your clone.
Every time you will try to commit, pre-commit will run checks on your files to make sure they follow our style standards and they aren't affected by some simple issues. If the checks fail, pre-commit won't let you commit.
Run the `trainer.py` script with the command `python3 -m scripts.trainer` (with `--help` to see the required and optional arguments of the command) to perform training.
Note: This section is only necessary if you want to perform changes to the repository mining script. Otherwise, you can simply use the commits data we generate automatically.
3. Enable the extensions mentioned in [infra/hgrc](https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/blob/master/infra/hgrc). For example, if you are on Linux, you can add `firefoxtree` to the extensions section of the `~/.hgrc` file as:
Note: If you run into problems, it's possible the version of Mercurial you are using is not supported. Check the Docker definition at infra/dockerfile.commit_retrieval to see what we are using in production.
Note: the script will take a long time to run (on my laptop more than 7 hours). If you want to test a simple change and you don't intend to actually mine the data, you can modify the repository.py script to limit the number of analyzed commits. Simply add `limit=1024` to the call to the `log` command.
