## Title
Verifying source code in disparate source control systems

## Abstract

A computer program product for verifying source code in disparate source control systems. A processor configured to: obtain a first source code from a target repository; access a second source code from a source repository; and verify each file in the first source code matches each corresponding file in the second source code. Verifying causes the processor to: read contents of a file in the first source code in the target repository; access a corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository; replace contents of the corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository with the contents of the file in the first source code in the target repository; execute an editor in the source repository to display differences in the corresponding file that have been modified as a result of replacing contents; and log each file that does not match.

## Background
BACKGROUND
As source control systems evolve, the popularity of existing systems fades and new systems rise to fame. Developers creating new projects can easily begin using the latest and greatest source control system. However, developers on legacy projects that want to leverage new source control systems must migrate their code. Tools exist to migrate code from existing source control systems to newer source control systems, but most of these tools do not verify that the results are accurate, leaving the person in charge of the migration to manually verify potentially hundreds or thousands of files are accurate.
SUMMARY
Embodiments relate to a computer program product for verifying source code in disparate source control systems. The computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to obtain, by the processor, a first source code from a target repository; access, by the processor, a second source code from a source repository, the source repository comprising an editor configured to display differences in a file in the second source code that has been modified; and verify, by the processor, each file in the first source code matches each corresponding file in the second source code. In one embodiment, verification causes the processor to: read, by the processor, contents of a file in the first source code in the target repository; access, by the processor, a corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository; replace, by the processor, contents of the corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository with the contents of the file in the first source code in the target repository; execute, by the processor, the editor in the source repository to display differences in the corresponding file that have been modified as a result of replacing contents; and log, by the processor, each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified if the editor in the source repository displays differences in the corresponding file in the second source code as a result of replacing contents. In one embodiment, the computer program product further causes the processor to: traverse, by the processor each directory in the target repository; and traverse, by the processor, each directory in the source repository; and review, by the processor, the logging results. In one embodiment, traversing each directory in the target repository causes the processor to: log, by the processor, each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified if no corresponding file exists in the second source code in the source repository; and log, by the processor, each directory in the first source code in the target repository as unverified if no corresponding directory exists in the second source code in the source repository. In one embodiment, traversing each directory in the source repository causes the processor to: log, by the processor, each file in the second source code in the source repository as unverified if no corresponding file exists in the first source code in the target repository; log, by the processor, each directory in the second source code in the source repository as unverified if no corresponding directory exists in the first source code in the target repository.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the various embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration, but are not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the embodiments disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein was chosen to best explain the principles of the embodiments, the practical application or technical improvement over technologies found in the marketplace, or to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
In the preferred embodiment, source code resides in both a local source control system and a remote source control system, where the remote source control system has an online editor that displays the differences after a file has been modified. The system is configured with pointers to the local source control repository, the remote source control repository, credentials for the repositories, where to store the list of verified and unverified files, and optionally where to store screenshots. In one embodiment, the configuration may be implemented by a user, by programming, etc. The verification system verifies that all files are identical in both the local source control system and the remote source control system.
The verification system is configured with the following information: the path to the code stored in the local source control system, the url of the remote source control repository, credentials for the repositories (if required), the sequence of steps to authenticate in the repositories, the path to a file where the list of verified files should be stored, the path to a file where the list of files the system is unable to verify should be stored, the sequence of steps to execute to edit the file on the remote repository, the sequence of steps to view the differences after a file has been edited on the remote repository, the sequence of steps to open a directory on the remote file system, the identifiers for files and directories in a directory listing in the repository, and optionally the path of where to store screenshots. Screenshots may be taken for every verification, only when a verification fails, only when a verification passes, or never.
The verification system authenticates to the source control repositories if required. Particularly, the verification system iterates through all files in the local system that have not been previously verified and navigates to the file of the same name on the remote repository. Next the contents of the file in the local source control system is read. Then the existing contents of the file on the remote file system is replaced with the contents read in from the file in the local source control system. Next the editor is invoked to view the differences after a file has been edited. If the editor in the remote source control system indicates that no changes were made, the file is verified. Otherwise, the file is not verified. The system lists the file in the correct file (verified or unverified) and takes a screenshot if appropriate.
The verification system also opens each directory on the remote file system and the identifiers for files and directories in a directory listing in the repository to traverse the remote source control system's directory and verify no extra files or directories are in the remote source control system. The system could optionally be configured to remove the extra files or directories.
Also, this verification system could be used to verify various points in time of the repositories. For example, a user may want to verify that the code is identical at important baselines or for every delivery/commit.
It is understood in advance that although this disclosure includes a detailed description of cloud computing, implementation of the teachings recited herein are not limited to a cloud computing environment. Rather, embodiments of the present invention are capable of being implemented in conjunction with any other type of computing environment now known or later developed.
Cloud computing is a model of service delivery for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, network bandwidth, servers, processing, memory, storage, applications, virtual machines (VMs), and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or interaction with a provider of the service. This cloud model may include at least five characteristics, at least three service models, and at least four deployment models.
Characteristics are as follows:
On-demand self-service: a cloud consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed and automatically, without requiring human interaction with the service's provider.
Broad network access: capabilities are available over a network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous, thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).
Resource pooling: the provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the consumer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state, or data center).
Rapid elasticity: capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned and, in some cases, automatically, to quickly scale out and rapidly released to quickly scale in. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be purchased in any quantity at any time.
Measured service: cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active consumer accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, thereby providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.
Service Models are as follows:
Software as a Service (SaaS): the capability provided to the consumer is the ability to use the provider's applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface, such as a web browser (e.g., web-based email). The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited consumer-specific application configuration settings.
Platform as a Service (PaaS): the capability provided to the consumer is the ability to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications created using programming languages and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including networks, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly application-hosting environment configurations.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): the capability provided to the consumer is the ability to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, deployed applications, and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
Deployment Models are as follows:
Private cloud: the cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on-premises or off-premises.
Community cloud: the cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on-premises or off-premises.
Public cloud: the cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud services.
Hybrid cloud: the cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds).
A cloud computing environment is a service oriented with a focus on statelessness, low coupling, modularity, and semantic interoperability. At the heart of cloud computing is an infrastructure comprising a network of interconnected nodes.
Referring now to FIG. 1, an illustrative cloud computing environment 50 is depicted. As shown, cloud computing environment 50 comprises one or more cloud computing nodes 10 with which local computing devices used by cloud consumers, such as, for example, personal digital assistant (PDA) or cellular telephone 54A, desktop computer 54B, laptop computer 54C, and/or automobile computer system 54N may communicate. Nodes 10 may communicate with one another. They may be grouped (not shown) physically or virtually, in one or more networks, such as private, community, public, or hybrid clouds as described hereinabove, or a combination thereof. This allows the cloud computing environment 50 to offer infrastructure, platforms, and/or software as services for which a cloud consumer does not need to maintain resources on a local computing device. It is understood that the types of computing devices 54A-N shown in FIG. 2 are intended to be illustrative only and that computing nodes 10 and cloud computing environment 50 can communicate with any type of computerized device over any type of network and/or network addressable connection (e.g., using a web browser).
Referring now to FIG. 2, a set of functional abstraction layers provided by the cloud computing environment 50 (FIG. 1) is shown. It should be understood in advance that the components, layers, and functions shown in FIG. 2 are intended to be illustrative only and embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto.

Such other examples may include operating systems written using JAVA, XML, C, and/or C++ language, or other programming languages, along with an object oriented programming methodology. Object oriented programming (OOP), which has become increasingly used to develop complex applications, may also be used.
FIG. 5 illustrates a block diagram for a process 500 for verifying source code in disparate source control systems, according to one embodiment.
In one embodiment, the system 500 is configured with pointers to the local source control repository, the remote source control repository, credentials for the repositories, where to store the list of verified and unverified files, and optionally where to store screenshots. In one embodiment, the configuration may be implemented by a user, by programming, etc. The verification system verifies that all files are identical in both the local source control system and the remote source control system.
The verification system is configured with the following information: the path to the code stored in the local source control system, the url of the remote source control repository, credentials for the repositories (if required), the sequence of steps to authenticate in the repositories, the path to a file where the list of verified files should be stored, the path to a file where the list of files the system is unable to verify should be stored, the sequence of steps to execute to edit the file on the remote repository, the sequence of steps to view the differences after a file has been edited on the remote repository, the sequence of steps to open a directory on the remote file system, the identifiers for files and directories in a directory listing in the repository, and optionally the path of where to store screenshots. Screenshots may be taken for every verification, only when a verification fails, only when a verification passes, or never.
The verification system authenticates to the source control repositories if required. Particularly, the verification system iterates through all files in the local system that have not been previously verified and navigates to the file of the same name on the remote repository. Next the contents of the file in the local source control system is read. Then the existing contents of the file on the remote file system is replaced with the contents read in from the file in the local source control system. Next the editor is invoked to view the differences after a file has been edited. If the editor in the remote source control system indicates that no changes were made, the file is verified. Otherwise, the file is not verified. The system lists the file in the correct file (verified or unverified) and takes a screenshot if appropriate.
The verification system also opens each directory on the remote file system and the identifiers for files and directories in a directory listing in the repository to traverse the remote source control system's directory and verify no extra files or directories are in the remote source control system. The system could optionally be configured to remove the extra files or directories.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to begin in block 502 and obtain (e.g., by the processor, a node, a CPU, a computer, etc., see 54B in FIG. 1) a first source code from a target repository.
After completion of block 502, the process 500 continues with block 504 wherein program instructions cause the processor to access a second source code from a source repository, the source repository comprising an editor configured to display differences in a file in the second source code that has been modified. After block 504, the process 500 continues with block 506 where the processor is instructed to verify each file in the first source code matches each corresponding file in the second source code.
In one embodiment of the present invention, verification in block 506 comprises sub-blocks 508-516. Block 508 causes the processor to read file content in the first source code in the target repository. After completion of block 508, the processor is instructed to perform block 510, access a corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository. Once block 510 is complete, the process 500 continues with block 512, instructing the processor to replace all content of the corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository with the all file content in the first source code in the target repository. After block 512, the process 500 continues with block 514 where the processor is instructed to execute the editor in the source repository to display content differences in the corresponding file that have been modified as a result of replacing content. The final step in sub-blocks of the verification process is block 516, where the processor is instructed to log each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that the editor in the source repository displays differences in the corresponding file in the second source code as a result of replacing content.
After completion of block 516, the process 500 continues with block 518 which causes the processor to traverse each directory in the target repository. Traversing according to block 518 comprises sub-blocks 520-522. Block 520 instructs the processor to log each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding file exists in the second source code in the source repository. After block 520, the process 500 continues with block 522 which instructs the processor to log each directory in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding directory exists in the second source code in the source repository.
After completion of block 522, the process continues with block 524 which causes the processor to traverse each directory in the source repository. Traversing according to block 524 comprises sub-blocks 526-528. Block 526 instructs the processor to log each file in the second source code in the source repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding file exists in the first source code in the target repository. After completion of block 526, the process 500 continues with block 528 which instructs the processor to log each directory in the second source code in the source repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding directory exists in the first source code in the target repository.
In one embodiment of the present invention, after completion of block 528, the process 500 continues with block 530 which instructs the processor to provide the logging results for review. Moreover, logging as per blocks 516 may include taking a screenshot for every verification, only when a verification fails, only when a verification passes, or never.

A computer program product for verifying source code in disparate source control systems, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to: obtain, by the processor, a first source code from a target repository; access, by the processor, a second source code from a source repository, the source repository comprising an editor configured to display differences in a file in the second source code that has been modified; and verify, by the processor, each file in the first source code matches each corresponding file in the second source code based on further program instruction executable by the processor to cause the processor to: read, by the processor, file content in the first source code in the target repository; access, by the processor, a corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository; replace, by the processor, all content of the corresponding file in the second source code in the source repository with the all file content in the first source code in the target repository; execute, by the processor, the editor in the source repository to display content differences in the corresponding file that have been modified as a result of replacing content; and log, by the processor, each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that the editor in the source repository displays differences in the corresponding file in the second source code as a result of replacing content; traverse, by the processor, each directory in the target repository based on further program instruction executable by the processor to cause the processor to: log, by the processor, each file in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding file exists in the second source code in the source repository; and log, by the processor, each directory in the first source code in the target repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding directory exists in the second source code in the source repository; and traverse, by the processor, each directory in the source repository based on further program instruction executable by the processor to cause the processor to: log, by the processor, each file in the second source code in the source repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding file exists in the first source code in the target repository; log, by the processor, each directory in the second source code in the source repository as unverified upon a determination that no corresponding directory exists in the first source code in the target repository; log, by the processor, a screenshot of the first source code from the target repository and a screenshot of the second source code from the target repository for every determination that the editor in the source repository displays differences in the corresponding file in the second source code as the result of replacing content; and provide, by the processor, the logging results for review.
