Abstract: The GitHub issue resolution task aims to resolve issues reported in
repositories automatically. With advances in large language models (LLMs), this
task has gained increasing attention, and several benchmarks are proposed to
evaluate the issue resolution ability of LLMs. However, existing benchmarks
have three main limitations. First, current benchmarks focus on a single
programming language, limiting the evaluation of issues from repositories
across different languages. Second, they usually cover a narrow range of
domains, which may fail to represent the diversity of real-world issues. Third,
existing benchmarks rely solely on textual information in issue descriptions,
overlooking multimodal information such as images in issues. In this paper, we
propose OmniGIRL, a GitHub Issue ResoLution benchmark that is multilingual,
multimodal, and multi-domain. OmniGIRL includes 959 task instances, which are
collected from repositories across four programming languages (i.e., Python,
JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java) and eight different domains. Our evaluation
shows that current LLMs show limited performances on OmniGIRL. Notably, the
best-performing model, GPT-4o, resolves only 8.6% of the issues. Besides, we
find that current LLMs struggle to resolve issues requiring understanding
images. The best performance is achieved by Claude-3.5-Sonnet, which resolves
only 10.5% of the issues with image information. Finally, we analyze the
reasons behind current LLMs' failure on OmniGIRL, providing insights for future
improvements.
