BugsInPy

BugsInPy: A Database of Existing Bugs in Python Programs to Enable Controlled Testing and Debugging Studies. The objective of this work is to support reproducible research on real-world Python projects.

Steps to set up BugsInPy

1. Clone BugsInPy:
   • git clone https://github.com/soarsmu/BugsInPy
2. Add BugsInPy executables path:
   • export PATH=$PATH:<bugsinpy_path>/framework/bin

Use Docker

Clone the repository, build the Docker image, and start a container:

docker build -t bugsinpy .
docker run -dt \
    -v ./framework:/home/bugsinpy/framework \
    -v ./projects:/home/bugsinpy/projects \
    -v ./workspace:/home/workspace
    --name {your_container_name} bugsinpy
docker exec -it {your_container_name} bash

Replace {your_container_name} with your preferred container name. When working inside the container, if you checkout source code to /home/workspace/, it will be accessible on your host machine at ./workspace due to the mounted volume. For example:

bugsinpy-checkout -p youtube-dl -v 0 -i 2 -w /home/workspace

This command checks out the specified bug to /home/workspace in the container, which corresponds to ./workspace on your host.

BugsInPy Command

Command	Description
info	Get the information of a specific project or a specific bug
checkout	Checkout buggy or fixed version project from dataset
compile	Compile sources from project that have been checkout
test	Run test case that relevant with bug, single-test case from input user, or all test cases from project
coverage	Run code coverage analysis from test case that relevant with bug, single-test case from input user, or all test cases
mutation	Run mutation analysis from input user or test case that relevant with bug
fuzz	Run a test input generation from specific bug

Example BugsInPy Command

• Help usage from checkout command:
  • bugsinpy-checkout --help
• Checkout a buggy source code version (youtube-dl, bug 2, buggy version):
  • bugsinpy-checkout -p youtube-dl -v 0 -i 2 -w /temp/projects
• Compile sources and tests, and run tests from current directory:
  • bugsinpy-compile
  • bugsinpy-test
