public abstract class TransformationUtility<T extends TransformationUtility>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Gathers information about the project to be transformed without applying any modification on it. It is the key element of Butterfly transformation engine. The result information is saved in the TransformationContext object, to be used later by other transformation utilities.
Transformation utilities are executed against the to be transformed project, based on the absolute project root folder defined in runtime, and a relative path to a target file or folder, defined in compilation time.
Transformation utilities are also known by TU.
An example of a transformation operation utility would be to find recursively a particular file based on its name and from a particular location (which would be relative to the project root folder) See TransformationOperation for a specialized transformation utility that does modify the project IMPORTANT: Every TransformationUtility subclass MUST have a public no arguments default constructor, and also public setters and getters for all properties they want to expose via set(String, String). In addition to that, every setter must return the TransformationUtility instance.

a short one line, but specific, description about the transformation utility

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Returns the execution order for this utility on its parent. Value -1 means it has not been registered to any parent yet, while 1 means first.

Returns:

the execution order for this utility on its parent

relative

public final T relative(java.lang.String relativePath)

Sets the relative path from the application root folder to the file or folder the transformation utility should perform against. The path separator is automatically normalized, so there are three valid options when separating folders in the path:

1. File.separatorChar (e.g. relative("myFolder" + File.separator + "file.txt")
2. Forward slash (e.g. relative("myFolder/file.txt")
3. Two backward slashes (e.g. relative("myFolder\\file.txt")

The slashes are replaced by OS specific separator char in runtime.
The default value is ".". which means the root of the transformed application

Parameters:

relativePath - from the application root folder to the file or folder the transformation utility should be performed against

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

normalizeRelativePathSeparator

protected static java.lang.String normalizeRelativePathSeparator(java.lang.String relativePath)

getRelativePath

protected final java.lang.String getRelativePath()

Returns relative path (from the application root folder) to the file or folder the transformation utility is suppose to perform against

Returns:

relative path (from the application root folder) to the file or folder the transformation utility is suppose to perform against

getAbsoluteFile

protected final java.io.File getAbsoluteFile(java.io.File transformedAppFolder,
                                             TransformationContext transformationContext)
                                      throws TransformationUtilityException

Returns an absolute path to the file or folder the transformation utility is supposed to perform against

Parameters:

transformedAppFolder - the folder where the transformed application code is

transformationContext - the transformation context object

Returns:

an absolute path to the file or folder the transformation utility is suppose to perform against

                                                  java.io.File targetFile)

Returns a relative path from baselineFile to targetFile. The file separator used is specific to the current OS. If the baseline file is not entirely within the path to target file, then the target file absolute path is returned.

Parameters:

baselineFile - the file whose returned relative path should start from. It must be aa direct or indirect parent file to targetFile

targetFile - the file whose returned relative path should take to

Returns:

a relative path from baselineFile to targetFile

set

public final T set(java.lang.String propertyName,
                   java.lang.String contextAttributeName)

This method allows setting properties in this transformation utility during transformation time, right before its execution.
The term "property" here refers to Java bean property, which means an instance variable that has public setter and getter, named according to the variable name.
This is very useful when the property value is not known during transformation definition. Any attribute stored in the transformation context can be used as the value to be set to the property. In most of the cases the result of a prior transformation utility is used as property value.
If there is no transformation context attribute named contextAttributeName at the time this transformation utility is executed, a TransformationUtilityException will be thrown.
However, if such attribute exits, but its value is null, the property will be set as null and its execution will proceed normally, unless that property is a primitive, which would result in an error (TransformationUtilityException) with IllegalArgumentException) as root cause.
Notice that, because this feature relies on reflection, executing it is not cheap, especially because it happens during transformation time. So, use it only when really necessary.

Parameters:

propertyName - the transformation utility Java property name

contextAttributeName - the name of the transformation context attribute whose value will be set as the property value right before execution

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

Throws:

TransformationUtilityException - if the transformation context does not have an attribute named contextAttributeName

TransformationDefinitionException - if propertyName is not an existent Java bean property in this transformation utility class

applyPropertiesFromContext

protected final void applyPropertiesFromContext(TransformationContext transformationContext)
                                         throws TransformationUtilityException

Applies transformation utility properties during transformation time, but prior to execution (right before it). The properties values are gotten from the transformation context object.

Parameters:

transformationContext - the transformation context object

Throws:

TransformationUtilityException

absolute

public T absolute(java.lang.String contextAttributeName)

There are two ways to specify the file, or folder, the transformation utility is suppose to perform against. The default and most commons one is by setting the relative path to it, which is done usually via the constructor or relative(String)). That should be the chosen option whenever the relative location is known during transformation template definition time.
However, sometimes that is not possible because that location will only be known during transformation time. In cases like this, usually another utility is used to find that location first, and then save it as transformation context attribute. In this case, this setter here can be used to set the absolute file location based on such context attribute. Whenever this is set, the relative path attribute is ignored.
See also getAbsoluteFile(File, TransformationContext), relative(String) and getRelativePath()

Parameters:

contextAttributeName - the name of the transformation context attribute whose value will be set as the absolute file right before execution

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

absolute

public T absolute(java.lang.String contextAttributeName,
                  java.lang.String additionalRelativePath)

Same as absolute(String, String), however, the absolute file is set with an additional relative path, which is defined via parameter additionalRelativePath. This method is powerful because it allows setting the absolute file using a portion of the location (absolute) that is only known during transformation time, plus also a second portion of the location (relative) that is already known during definition time
See also getAbsoluteFile(File, TransformationContext), relative(String) and getRelativePath()

Parameters:

contextAttributeName - the name of the transformation context attribute whose value will be set as the absolute file right before execution

additionalRelativePath - an additional relative path to be added to the absolute file coming from the transformation context. The path separator will be normalized, similar to what happens in relative(String)

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

perform

public PerformResult perform(java.io.File transformedAppFolder,
                             TransformationContext transformationContext)
                      throws TransformationUtilityException

Performs the transformation utility against the application to be transformed. After this method is called, regardless of the result, even in case of skipped execution, hasBeenPerformed() has to return true.
This is the one called by the transformation engine, and regardless of any customization it could have, it must always:

1. 1- Call applyPropertiesFromContext(TransformationContext)
2. 2- Call execution(File, TransformationContext)

This method is NOT supposed to be overwritten, unless you really know what you are doing.

Parameters:

transformedAppFolder - the folder where the transformed application code is

transformationContext - the transformation context object

Returns:

the result

Throws:

TransformationUtilityException

abortOnFailure

public final T abortOnFailure(boolean abort)

If set to true, abort the whole transformation if validation or execution fails. If not, aborts the transformation utility execution only. This method will also set the abortion message to null. Use abortOnFailure(String) instead to set abort on failure to true, but also set a custom abortion message.
Notice that abortion here means interrupting the transformation. It does not mean rolling back the changes that have might already been done by this transformation operation by the time it failed.

Parameters:

abort - if set to true, abort the whole transformation if validation or execution fails. If not, just state a warning, aborts the operation execution only

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

abortOnFailure

public final T abortOnFailure(java.lang.String abortionMessage)

Abort the whole transformation if validation or execution fails. This method has the same effect as calling abortOnFailure(true), but it also allows setting an abortion message. Notice that abortion here means interrupting the transformation. It does not mean rolling back the changes that have might already been done by this transformation operation by the time it failed

Parameters:

abortionMessage - a message to be logged if transformation has to be aborted

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

getAbortionMessage

public java.lang.String getAbortionMessage()

Returns a message to be logged if a fail happens and transformation has to be aborted

Returns:

a message to be logged if a fail happens and transformation has to be aborted

isAbortOnFailure

public final boolean isAbortOnFailure()

Returns whether this operation aborts the transformation or not in case of an operation failure. Notice that this method does NOT change the state this object in any ways, it is just a getter.

Returns:

true only if this operation aborts the transformation or not in case of an operation failure

isSaveResult

public boolean isSaveResult()

This flag indicates whether the value produced by the transformation utility execution, and also its result object as a whole, should both be saved in the transformation context object.
In most cases it should do so, because that is the main purpose of every transformation utility, to produce and share useful data with other transformation utilities and operations.
However, there are rare cases, for example Log, where no value will be produced and nothing should be saved to the transformation context attribute

Returns:

true only if the value produced by the transformation utility execution, and also its result object as a whole, should both be saved in the transformation context object

setSaveResult

protected T setSaveResult(boolean saveResult)

Sets whether or not the value produced by the transformation utility execution, and also its result object as a whole, should both be saved in the transformation context object. See also isSaveResult().

Parameters:

saveResult - if the value produced by the transformation utility execution, and also its result object as a whole, should both be saved in the transformation context object

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

hasBeenPerformed

public final boolean hasBeenPerformed()

Returns true only if this utility has already been performed, even if the execution was skipped.

Returns:

true only if this utility has already been performed

dependsOn

public final T dependsOn(java.lang.String... dependencies)

Add all transformation utilities this utility depends on. Notice that this is not cumulative, meaning if this method has been called previously, that dependencies set will be entirely replaced by this new one.
This notion of "dependency" among TUs help resilience in two ways:

1. If TU B depends on TU A, and if TU A "fails" but doesn't abort transformation, then TU B would be skipped
2. If TU B depends on TU A, then TU B will be skipped when its times to perform comes and TU A has not been performed yet

The term "fails" in this context means the perform result is of one of these types:

1. PerformResult.Type.ERROR
2. PerformResult.Type.SKIPPED_CONDITION
3. PerformResult.Type.SKIPPED_DEPENDENCY

A dependency failure is also possible if perform result type is PerformResult.Type.EXECUTION_RESULT, and the execution result type is one of the following:

1. TUExecutionResult.Type.NULL (for TUs only)
2. TUExecutionResult.Type.ERROR (for TUs only)
3. TOExecutionResult.Type.ERROR (for TOs only)

See also:

• checkDependencies(TransformationContext)
• Result.dependencyFailureCheck()
• TUExecutionResult.dependencyFailureCheck()
• TOExecutionResult.dependencyFailureCheck()
• PerformResult.dependencyFailureCheck()

Parameters:

dependencies - the names of all transformation utilities this utility depends on

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

getDependencies

protected final java.util.List<java.lang.String> getDependencies()

Returns an unmodifiable list of names of utilities this utility instance depends on. See also dependsOn(String...).

Returns:

an unmodifiable list of names of utilities this utility instance depends on

checkDependencies

protected com.paypal.butterfly.extensions.api.Result checkDependencies(TransformationContext transformationContext)

Check if any of dependency of this TU failed. If that is true, returns a result object stating so. If not, returns null. If this TU has no dependencies it also returns null. See dependsOn(String...) to find out the dependency failure criteria

Parameters:

transformationContext - the transformation context object, in this case used to check all past executed utilities

Returns:

a result object if any of dependency of this utility failed, or null, if that is not the case, or if this utility does not have dependencies

executeIf

public final T executeIf(java.lang.String conditionAttributeName)

When set, this TU will only execute if this transformation context attribute is existent and true. In other words, it will execute if not null and, if of Boolean type, true

Parameters:

conditionAttributeName - the name of the transformation context attribute which holds a boolean value used to evaluate if this utility should be executed or not

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

executeIf

public final T executeIf(UtilityCondition utilityCondition)

When set, this TU will only execute if this utilityCondition object, executed right before this TU, result in true.
Differences between this approach and executeIf(String):

1. Instead of relying on a TCA (attribute) with the condition result, this method is based on the direct execution of the UtilityCondition object
2. The UtilityCondition object is always executed necessarily against the same file set in the transformation utility it is being used. Because of that, any value set in the condition itself via relative(String) or absolute(String) is ignored.
3. The UtilityCondition object does not produce any TCA, neither its result value or result object. Instead, it hands its result directly to the TU, so that the condition can be evaluated just before the TU executes (or not, if it fails).
4. The UtilityCondition object does not exist from a transformation template point of view. That means this method is totally different than adding a new UtilityCondition object by calling TransformationTemplate.add(TransformationUtility).

The actual UtilityCondition object is not the one used, but a copy of it

Parameters:

utilityCondition - the condition to be executed and evaluated right before this TU

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

executeUnless

public final T executeUnless(java.lang.String conditionAttributeName)

When set, this TU will execute, unless this transformation context attribute is existent and true. In other words, it will execute, unless if not null and, if of Boolean type, true

Parameters:

conditionAttributeName - the name of the transformation context attribute which holds a boolean value used to evaluate if this utility should be executed or not

Returns:

this transformation utility instance

getIfConditionAttributeName

public java.lang.String getIfConditionAttributeName()

Return the "if" condition attribute name associated with this transformation operation, or null, if there is none

Returns:

the "if" condition attribute name associated with this transformation operation

getUnlessConditionAttributeName

public java.lang.String getUnlessConditionAttributeName()

Return the "unless" condition attribute name associated with this transformation operation, or null, if there is none

Returns:

the "unless" condition attribute name associated with this transformation operation

execution

protected abstract ExecutionResult execution(java.io.File transformedAppFolder,
                                             TransformationContext transformationContext)

The implementation execution of this transformation utility. The returned object is the result of the execution and is always automatically saved in the transformation context as a new attribute (whose key is the name of the transformation utility), unless isSaveResult() returns false.
Important: this method MUST NEVER return null, and it must catch its executions exceptions and wrap them into a ExecutionResult error object.

Parameters:

transformedAppFolder - the folder where the transformed application code is

transformationContext - the transformation context object

Returns:

an object with the result of this execution, to be better defined by the concrete utility class, since its type is generic

isFileSet

public final boolean isFileSet()

Return true only if a file has been set. Every TransformationUtility has its file set automatically by default to "" which means the root of the application. That is NOT the case though for TransformationOperation object, which must set them explicitly via relative(String) or absolute(String).

Returns:

true only if a file has been set

wasFileExplicitlySet

public final boolean wasFileExplicitlySet()

Return true only if a file has been set explicitly either via relative(String), absolute(String) or absolute(String, String). If set via relative(String) it will only return true if set to anything other than "", which would mean the root of the application.

Returns:

true only if a file has been set explicitly either via relative(String), absolute(String) or absolute(String, String)

6. has been performed flag

Returns:

the new object created as result of the copy operation
