Checklist

General

Server

  • Important: I implemented the changes with a very good performance and prevented too many (unnecessary) and too complex database calls.
  • I strictly followed the principle of data economy for all database calls.
  • I strictly followed the server coding and design guidelines.
  • I added multiple integration tests (Spring) related to the features (with a high test coverage).
  • I added pre-authorization annotations according to the guidelines and checked the course groups for all new REST Calls (security).
  • I documented the Java code using JavaDoc style.

Changes affecting Programming Exercises

  • High priority: I tested all changes and their related features with all corresponding user types on a test server configured with the integrated lifecycle setup (LocalVC and LocalCI).

Motivation and Context

In exams with programming exercises, it becomes noticeable, that push and clone operations are quite resource intensive. This can go so far, that the DB is overloaded, especially in the end phase of an exam.

Description

We want to mitigate this issue with several changes:

  • Fetch less data: We do not need to load results when fetching participations for pushing or cloning
  • Do not fetch auxiliary repositories of an exercise for students at all (as they are not allowed to access them anyway)
  • With SSH we can load the participation once, and attach it to the users SSH session. This way we do not load it again later. For HTTPs this does not work unfortunately, as we cannot keep state between the 3 requests it takes to push. In the second we load participations for authorization, and in the third the actual push happens.

For an in depth analysis of all DB queries used during clone and push see https://confluence.ase.in.tum.de/spaces/ArTEMiS/pages/232759897/DB+Queries+for+using+LocalVC

Steps for Testing

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/LocalVCPushFilter.java (1)

Line range hint 40-65: Consider additional performance optimizations

While the changes improve efficiency by reducing parsing overhead, consider these additional optimizations:

  1. Use asynchronous logging to prevent I/O operations from blocking the filter chain
  2. Consider caching authorization results for subsequent requests from the same user
  3. Evaluate if the VCS access log update could be moved to a background task
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/ArtemisGitServletService.java (1)

Line range hint 1-85: Architectural Concerns: State Management vs Performance

While this PR aims to improve git operations performance, the introduced changes raise several concerns:

  1. The implementation adds shared state to a singleton servlet, which could degrade performance under load
  2. The stateful approach contradicts REST principles from the coding guidelines
  3. The changes don't clearly address the stated goal of improving git operations performance

Consider these recommendations:

  1. Remove all shared state (c variable and related code)
  2. Use proper session management for tracking push attempts
  3. Focus on actual performance improvements such as:
    • Connection pooling
    • Caching repository access
    • Optimizing hook execution
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/LocalVCPostPushHook.java (1)

Line range hint 22-26: Update class documentation to reflect caching behavior.

The class documentation should be updated to explain the caching of session data and its performance benefits. Consider adding:

  • Description of cached fields
  • Lifecycle of cached data
  • Performance implications
 /**
  * Contains an onPostReceive method that is called by JGit after a push has been received (i.e. after the pushed files were successfully written to disk).
+ * 
+ * This implementation caches session data (participation, exercise, and VCS access log) to optimize performance by reducing
+ * redundant database calls during push processing. The cached data is obtained either from SSH session attributes or HTTP
+ * session attributes, depending on the access method.
  */
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/VcsAccessLogService.java (1)

99-111: Good improvements in separation of concerns and resource handling.

The changes improve the method by:

  1. Separating log creation from storage
  2. Using try-with-resources for safe Git operations
  3. Adding flexibility with Optional return type

Consider enhancing error handling and readability.

A few suggestions for improvement:

  1. Add error logging for GitAPIException
  2. Extract participation type check to a utility method
  3. Consider a more concise name like createCodeEditorAccessLog

Here's the suggested implementation:

-    public Optional<VcsAccessLog> createPreliminaryCodeEditorAccessLog(Repository repo, User user, Long participationId) throws GitAPIException {
+    public Optional<VcsAccessLog> createCodeEditorAccessLog(Repository repo, User user, Long participationId) throws GitAPIException {
         try (Git git = new Git(repo)) {
             String lastCommitHash = git.log().setMaxCount(1).call().iterator().next().getName();
             var participation = participationRepository.findById(participationId);
-            if (participation.isPresent() && participation.get() instanceof ProgrammingExerciseParticipation programmingParticipation) {
+            return participation
+                .filter(p -> p instanceof ProgrammingExerciseParticipation)
+                .map(p -> (ProgrammingExerciseParticipation) p)
+                .map(programmingParticipation -> {
                 log.debug("Storing access operation for user {}", user);
-
-                return Optional.of(new VcsAccessLog(user, (Participation) programmingParticipation, user.getName(), user.getEmail(), RepositoryActionType.WRITE,
-                        AuthenticationMechanism.CODE_EDITOR, lastCommitHash, null));
-            }
+                return new VcsAccessLog(user, (Participation) programmingParticipation, user.getName(), 
+                    user.getEmail(), RepositoryActionType.WRITE,
+                    AuthenticationMechanism.CODE_EDITOR, lastCommitHash, null);
+                });
+        } catch (GitAPIException e) {
+            log.error("Error getting last commit hash for repository: {}", repo.getLocalPath(), e);
+            throw e;
         }
-        return Optional.empty();
     }
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/repository/SolutionProgrammingExerciseParticipationRepository.java (1)

46-47: LGTM! Good performance optimization.

The method correctly implements eager loading for submissions using @EntityGraph, which will help prevent N+1 query issues. The naming clearly indicates the eager loading behavior, maintaining consistency with other repository interfaces.

Consider monitoring the query execution plan and response times in production, especially for cases with large numbers of submissions, to ensure optimal performance.

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/RepositoryService.java (1)

458-461: Consider renaming the method to better reflect its responsibilities

The method now has dual responsibility: committing changes and creating a log entry. Consider renaming it to commitChangesAndCreateLog to better reflect its behavior.

-public Optional<VcsAccessLog> commitChanges(Repository repository, User user, Long domainId) throws GitAPIException {
+public Optional<VcsAccessLog> commitChangesAndCreateLog(Repository repository, User user, Long domainId) throws GitAPIException {
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/ProgrammingExerciseParticipationService.java (2)

130-141: Method signature simplified and performance improved.

The method now consistently uses eager loading for submissions and students, which is good for performance when both are frequently needed together. However, this might impact performance when only the participation data is needed.

Consider adding a separate method for cases where submissions and students are not needed, to avoid unnecessary data fetching.


Line range hint 439-475: Potential performance bottleneck in repository type checks.

The method performs multiple repository type checks and database queries. While eager loading improves individual query performance, the sequential nature of checks could be optimized.

Consider using a switch expression or enum map to reduce branching:

-        if (repositoryTypeOrUserName.equals(RepositoryType.SOLUTION.toString()) || repositoryTypeOrUserName.equals(RepositoryType.TESTS.toString()) || isAuxiliaryRepository) {
-            return solutionParticipationRepository.findWithEagerResultsAndSubmissionsByProgrammingExerciseIdElseThrow(exercise.getId());
-        }
-
-        if (repositoryTypeOrUserName.equals(RepositoryType.TEMPLATE.toString())) {
-            return templateParticipationRepository.findWithEagerResultsAndSubmissionsByProgrammingExerciseIdElseThrow(exercise.getId());
-        }
+        return switch(RepositoryType.valueOf(repositoryTypeOrUserName.toUpperCase())) {
+            case SOLUTION, TESTS -> solutionParticipationRepository.findWithEagerResultsAndSubmissionsByProgrammingExerciseIdElseThrow(exercise.getId());
+            case TEMPLATE -> templateParticipationRepository.findWithEagerResultsAndSubmissionsByProgrammingExerciseIdElseThrow(exercise.getId());
+            default -> handleStudentOrTeamParticipation(exercise, repositoryTypeOrUserName, isPracticeRepository, isExamEditorRepository);
+        };
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/LocalVCServletService.java (5)

441-442: Remove Commented-Out Code and Address TODO

The commented-out code can lead to confusion and clutter in the codebase. Additionally, there's a TODO indicating the need to add back the code once issues are resolved.

Consider removing the commented code or creating a GitHub issue to track this task. Would you like assistance in refactoring this section or opening an issue to address the TODO?

Also applies to: 445-447


488-499: Handle Missing Request or Session Gracefully

The code logs a warning if neither the HTTP request nor the server session is present. Consider handling this scenario appropriately, possibly by throwing an exception or implementing a fallback.

Apply this diff to throw an exception when both are absent:

} else {
-    log.warn("authorizeUser: Neither HTTP request nor server session found");
+    throw new IllegalStateException("Neither HTTP request nor server session is present. Cannot cache attributes.");
}

538-545: Update Method Documentation

There's a TODO to fix the documentation for the repository parameter.

Please update the documentation to accurately reflect the purpose of the repository parameter. Would you like assistance in drafting the updated documentation?


800-800: Address Missing Documentation

The TODO comment indicates missing documentation. Ensure that all public methods are properly documented according to the project's coding guidelines.

Would you like assistance in generating the necessary documentation for this method?


806-807: Ensure Consistent Use of @async Annotation

The methods updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForCloneAndPullHTTPS, updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForPushHTTPS, and updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForCloneAndPullSSH should consistently use the @Async annotation if they are intended to run asynchronously.

Apply this diff to add the @Async annotation where missing:

+@Async
public void updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForPushHTTPS(String method, String authorizationHeader, VcsAccessLog vcsAccessLog) {
    // method implementation
}

+@Async
public void updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForCloneAndPullSSH(ServerSession session, int clientOffered) {
    // method implementation
}

Also applies to: 834-834, 864-864

16-19: LGTM! Constructor follows best practices

The simplified constructor properly implements dependency injection and maintains immutability through final fields.


23-23: Verify performance impact of the new storage operation

The method name change from updateVCSAccessLogForCloneAndPullSSH to updateAndStoreVCSAccessLogForCloneAndPullSSH suggests an additional storage operation. Given the PR's focus on git operations performance and the context of large course setups (2000+ students), we should verify that this change doesn't introduce performance bottlenecks.

Let's check the implementation of the new method:

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/ssh/SshConstants.java (2)

9-11: LGTM! Import statements follow best practices.

The imports are properly organized and avoid wildcards, following Java conventions.


20-24: LGTM! Constants are well-defined and properly typed.

The new constants follow the established pattern and maintain consistency with the existing code structure.

Let's verify the usage of these new constants in the context of git operations:

✅ Verification successful

Constants are correctly used for session attribute management in git operations

The verification shows that the constants are properly used across the codebase:

  • REPOSITORY_EXERCISE_KEY is used in SshGitLocationResolverService and LocalVCPostPushHook for exercise tracking
  • VCS_ACCESS_LOG_KEY is used consistently in both SSH and HTTPS contexts for access logging
  • PARTICIPATION_KEY is used in LocalVCServletService and LocalVCPostPushHook for participation tracking

The usage patterns align with git operation performance improvements by:

  1. Maintaining consistent session state across git operations
  2. Properly tracking VCS access logs for both SSH and HTTPS protocols
  3. Ensuring exercise and participation data is available for post-push hooks

10-10: LGTM: Clean import addition

The explicit import of Optional is appropriate for the updated method signature.


Line range hint 43-94: Verify alignment with performance objectives

While these changes improve session management and authorization flexibility, it's not immediately clear how they contribute to the PR's stated goal of improving git operations performance. Consider:

  1. Documenting the performance impact of these changes
  2. Adding metrics or logging to measure any performance improvements
  3. Explaining how session management changes relate to git operation optimization
#!/bin/bash
# Look for performance-related changes in nearby files
rg -g '*.java' -B 2 -A 2 'performance|optimization'

# Check for any performance metrics or monitoring
ast-grep --pattern 'Timer|Metrics|StopWatch'

82-84: Document authorization flow changes

The authorization now supports optional parameters, but:

  1. The rationale for passing Optional.empty() for request while including the session should be documented
  2. The relationship between HttpServletRequest and ServerSession should be clarified

Consider adding a comment explaining:

  • Why HttpServletRequest is omitted
  • The authorization flow with SSH sessions
✅ Verification successful

Let me generate additional scripts to check the authorization flow.

The previous search didn't yield the relevant information, so I'm trying to specifically look for the authorization method implementation and SSH authentication patterns to understand the relationship between HttpServletRequest and ServerSession in the context of SSH authentication.


Based on the search results, I can now generate the final response as we have enough context about the authorization flow. The results show that there are two different authorization patterns: one for HTTP requests (with HttpServletRequest) and another for SSH sessions (with ServerSession), and they are handled appropriately in the codebase.

Authorization flow is correctly implemented

The code correctly handles two distinct authentication mechanisms:

  1. HTTP: Uses Optional.of(request), Optional.empty() for the request/session parameters
  2. SSH: Uses Optional.empty(), Optional.of(session) for the request/session parameters

This is a valid pattern as these are mutually exclusive authentication paths - HTTP requests will have a servlet request but no SSH session, while SSH connections will have a session but no HTTP request.

75-75: Consider session storage implications

Storing the entire exercise object in the session might lead to:

  1. Memory overhead for large exercise objects
  2. Stale data if the exercise is modified during the session
  3. Potential serialization issues in a distributed environment

Consider:

  • Storing only the necessary exercise attributes
  • Adding a comment explaining why this session storage is needed
  • Implementing a cleanup mechanism

88-88: LGTM: Simplified hook constructor.

The removal of the rootDir parameter from LocalVCFetchPreUploadHookSSH constructor aligns with the principle of passing only necessary dependencies.


94-94: LGTM: Enhanced session handling in post-push hook.

The addition of getServerSession() to LocalVCPostPushHook constructor improves the hook's ability to access session context.

Let me gather more information about the hook implementations to verify the session handling changes.


Let me check one more aspect to verify how the session is being used in both hooks.


Based on the verification results, I can now provide the final response:

Verified: Session handling enhancement is correctly implemented

The session integration in LocalVCPostPushHook is properly implemented with:

  • Consistent constructor usage across both SSH and HTTP contexts
  • Proper session attribute extraction for participation, exercise, and VCS access log
  • Parallel implementation with LocalVCFetchPreUploadHookSSH for session handling

The convenience method follows the repository's established pattern for exception handling and maintains consistency with other similar methods in the codebase.


51-52: LGTM! Verify performance improvement with large datasets.

The eager loading of submissions through @EntityGraph is a good optimization that should reduce N+1 query problems. This aligns well with the PR's performance improvement objectives.

Let's verify the query performance improvement:

✅ Verification successful

Let me gather more specific information about the repository methods and their usage patterns.


Based on the search results, I can now generate the final response:

Eager loading optimization is correctly implemented and consistent with codebase patterns

The implementation of findWithSubmissionsByRepositoryUri with @EntityGraph follows the established pattern in the codebase for optimizing database queries. Similar eager loading patterns are used throughout the codebase, particularly in:

  • Other template participation repositories
  • Student participation repositories (e.g., findByExerciseIdWithEagerSubmissions)
  • Programming exercise repositories

The change aligns with the codebase's approach to preventing N+1 query problems through strategic eager loading of related entities.

49-51: LGTM! Good error handling pattern.

The method follows the repository's consistent pattern for throwing methods, properly delegating to the optional-returning method and reusing the existing error handling utility.


46-51: Verify performance with large datasets

Since the PR aims to improve git operations performance and mentions "large course setups with over 2000 students", we should verify the eager loading behavior with large datasets.

✅ Verification successful

Eager loading pattern is appropriate for this use case

The eager loading of submissions using @EntityGraph is a verified performance optimization pattern in this codebase, supported by several findings:

  1. The codebase shows consistent use of @EntityGraph for optimizing database queries, particularly in repository methods that need related entities.
  2. The repository follows established patterns seen in other repositories like ResultRepository which use similar optimizations to "avoid performance issues".
  3. The eager loading of submissions is appropriate here as the repository URI lookup is typically used in git operations where submission data is immediately needed.
  4. The codebase contains multiple performance-related optimizations and comments showing careful consideration of database query performance.

81-82: LGTM! Verify performance impact of eager loading.

The use of @EntityGraph for eager loading submissions is a good approach for optimizing repository queries. This aligns well with the PR's objective of improving git operations performance.

Let's verify the query performance and usage:

✅ Verification successful

Based on the results, I can now generate the final response as we have sufficient information about the usage context.

Verified: Eager loading of submissions is appropriate for all use cases

The method is used in ProgrammingExerciseParticipationService where submissions data is consistently needed across different repository types (solution, template, student). The eager loading strategy is justified because:

  • All repository types (solution, template, student) implement similar patterns with @EntityGraph
  • The service layer uses these methods in contexts where submission data is required
  • No cases found where submissions data is fetched but not used

458-461: Verify all callers handle the new Optional return type

The method's return type has changed from void to Optional<VcsAccessLog>. This is a breaking change that requires updates to all calling code.

✅ Verification successful

Let me analyze the results and generate a final response.

The Optional return type is properly handled by callers

The search results show that commitChanges() is only called from RepositoryResource.java and its subclasses. The main caller in RepositoryResource.java properly handles the return value by storing it in a variable:

var vcsAccessLog = repositoryService.commitChanges(repository, user, domainId);

The other occurrences are in subclasses that simply delegate to the superclass implementation:

  • TestRepositoryResource
  • AuxiliaryRepositoryResource
  • RepositoryProgrammingExerciseParticipationResource

The return value is not used in the subsequent code, which is acceptable since Optional is designed to handle cases where the value may or may not be present.

165-177: Verify error handling for the test run flag.

The method correctly uses eager loading for submissions, but the error message doesn't mention the test run flag which was used in the query.

Consider updating the error message to include the test run status:

-            throw new EntityNotFoundException("Participation could not be found by exerciseId " + exercise.getId() + " and user " + username);
+            throw new EntityNotFoundException("Participation could not be found by exerciseId " + exercise.getId() + ", user " + username + " and testRun " + isTestRun);
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/LocalVCFetchPreUploadHook.java (2)

11-11: Properly importing VcsAccessLog

The import statement for VcsAccessLog is necessary for the new implementation and follows the coding guidelines.


26-30: Correctly handling VCS access log with type checking

The updated code retrieves the VcsAccessLog from the request attributes and uses an instanceof check to ensure type safety before updating the access log. This approach enhances robustness and prevents potential ClassCastException.

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/LocalVCServletService.java (7)

54-54: Unused Imports Detected

The added import statements for Participation and VcsAccessLog are necessary for the new code additions. Ensure that they are used appropriately in the codebase.

Also applies to: 63-63


257-257: Method Invocation Matches Updated Signature

The call to authorizeUser now includes the optional parameters Optional.of(request) and Optional.empty(), aligning with the updated method signature.


460-460: Method Invocation Consistency

The cacheAttributesInRequestOrSession method is called with all the necessary parameters. Ensure that the parameters match the updated method signature and are correctly passed.


535-537: Overloaded Method Clarity

Introduced an overloaded processNewPush method with additional parameters for caching. Ensure that the method overloading does not lead to confusion and that method documentation is updated accordingly.


556-558: Efficient Use of Optional Parameters

The use of Optional parameters for caching exercise and participation improves efficiency by reducing redundant database calls. Ensure that this pattern is consistently applied where appropriate.


426-428: Confirm Access Control Logic

Ensure that the access control logic correctly prevents students from accessing test and auxiliary repositories. The condition checks if the user is at least a teaching assistant and whether the repository is of type TESTS or an auxiliary repository.

Run the following script to verify that students cannot access these repositories:

✅ Verification successful

Access Control Logic Verified

The code correctly implements access control for test and auxiliary repositories:

  1. The condition checks both repository type and user role:

    if (authorizationCheckService.isAtLeastTeachingAssistantForExercise(exercise, user) && 
        (repositoryTypeOrUserName.equals(RepositoryType.TESTS.toString()) || 
         auxiliaryRepositoryService.isAuxiliaryRepositoryOfExercise(repositoryTypeOrUserName, exercise)))
  2. Multiple security layers are enforced:

    • Role check via isAtLeastTeachingAssistantForExercise
    • Repository type validation
    • Additional repository access check via checkAccessTestOrAuxRepositoryElseThrow
  3. The implementation is used consistently across the codebase in relevant classes like:

    • LocalVCServletService
    • ProgrammingExerciseParticipationResource
    • AuxiliaryRepositoryResource
  4. All repository access endpoints are protected with @EnforceAtLeastTutor annotation

51-56: Consider documenting the performance optimization strategy.

These changes are part of a broader effort to improve git operations performance through eager loading. Consider adding documentation in the repository interface explaining:

  1. The overall strategy for optimizing repository queries
  2. Guidelines for when to use eager vs. lazy loading
  3. The relationship between these optimizations and git operations performance

This documentation would help maintain consistency as the codebase evolves.

81-85: Consider documenting the performance implications

While the implementation is solid, it would be beneficial to document the performance characteristics of these methods, especially since they're part of a performance improvement initiative.

Consider adding Javadoc comments that:

  1. Explain the eager loading behavior
  2. Document potential performance implications with large datasets
  3. Provide usage guidelines for optimal performance

30-41: LGTM! Well-optimized query implementation.

The updated query is efficient and follows best practices:

  • Uses primary key (id) for ordering
  • Includes LIMIT clause for early result return
  • Clear and concise SQL structure

50-58: Verify query performance with TREAT clause.

While the query structure is sound, there are potential performance considerations:

  1. The TREAT clause with LEFT JOIN might impact query performance for large datasets
  2. Consider adding an index on repositoryUri if not already present

Let's verify the index existence and analyze similar patterns:

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/repository/TemplateProgrammingExerciseParticipationRepository.java (2)

54-56: LGTM! Implementation follows repository patterns.

The method maintains consistent error handling patterns and properly reuses the existing helper method.


51-52: Add documentation and verify query performance.

While the method follows the repository's pattern for eager loading, it would benefit from documentation explaining its purpose and usage context. Additionally, let's verify the query performance.

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/repository/ProgrammingExerciseStudentParticipationRepository.java (2)

84-85: LGTM! Consistent error handling implementation

The method follows the repository's established pattern for handling missing entities and maintains consistency with other similar methods in the codebase.


81-82: LGTM! Verify eager loading behavior

The implementation correctly uses @EntityGraph for eager loading of submissions, which should improve performance by reducing N+1 queries.

Let's verify the eager loading implementation:

✅ Verification successful

Based on the extensive search results, I can now provide a definitive response regarding the eager loading implementation:

Verified: Eager loading pattern is consistently implemented across repositories

The implementation of @EntityGraph for eager loading submissions is correctly used and follows a consistent pattern across the codebase:

  • The method findWithSubmissionsByRepositoryUri in ProgrammingExerciseStudentParticipationRepository matches similar implementations in related repositories like SolutionProgrammingExerciseParticipationRepository and TemplateProgrammingExerciseParticipationRepository
  • The eager loading of submissions is used appropriately with type = LOAD and attributePaths = { "submissions" }
  • The pattern is part of a broader consistent approach for optimizing database queries across the application, with similar methods for loading other related entities

224-227: LGTM: Early validation of authorization header.

The early check for the authorization header's presence is a good practice that fails fast and provides a clear error message.


260-261: LGTM: Efficient handling of participation data.

The changes improve performance by reusing the participation data for VCS logging instead of fetching it again.


266-285: LGTM: Well-structured VCS access logging.

The method properly handles error cases and follows a clear flow for storing access logs.


295-295: LGTM: Clear method naming.

The rename to resolveHTTPSAuthenticationMechanism better reflects the method's specific purpose.


Line range hint 567-628: LGTM: Efficient push processing with cached data.

The overloaded method improves performance by allowing the reuse of already loaded data, reducing database queries.


793-793: LGTM: Efficient participation retrieval.

Using retrieveParticipationWithSubmissionsByRepository improves performance by eager loading submissions.


Line range hint 825-869: LGTM: Well-documented VCS access logging.

284-291: 🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Consider passing repository context to optimize performance.

While splitting commit and logging operations improves clarity, passing Optional.empty() for both exercise and participation to processNewPush might lead to unnecessary database queries if these objects are needed later in the process.

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/VcsAccessLogService.java (1)

92-98: 🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Consider aligning with class patterns and best practices.

The method should follow existing patterns in the class by adding debug logging and considering access level.

-    public void saveVcsAccesslog(VcsAccessLog vcsAccessLog) {
-        vcsAccessLogRepository.save(vcsAccessLog);

275-294: Consider more specific exception handling

The catch block catches all exceptions when retrieving the commit hash. Consider catching specific exceptions (GitAPIException) to handle different error scenarios appropriately.

-            catch (Exception e) {
+            catch (GitAPIException e) {
                 log.warn("Failed to obtain commit hash for repository {}. Error: {}", localVCRepositoryUri.getRelativeRepositoryPath().toString(), e.getMessage());
+            } catch (IOException e) {
+                log.warn("Failed to access repository {}. Error: {}", localVCRepositoryUri.getRelativeRepositoryPath().toString(), e.getMessage());
             }

Line range hint 660-718: Good performance optimization with caching

Excellent use of Optional for caching exercise and participation data to reduce database queries. This aligns well with the PR's performance improvement goals.

However, consider extracting the error handling logic into a separate method for better maintainability.

+    private void handleParticipationRetrievalError(EntityNotFoundException e, RepositoryType repositoryType, ProgrammingExercise exercise) {
+        if (repositoryType.equals(RepositoryType.AUXILIARY) || repositoryType.equals(RepositoryType.TESTS)) {
+            return retrieveSolutionParticipation(exercise);
+        }
+        throw new VersionControlException("Could not find participation for repository", e);
+    }

-        catch (EntityNotFoundException e) {
-            repositoryType = getRepositoryType(repositoryTypeOrUserName, exercise);
-            if (repositoryType.equals(RepositoryType.AUXILIARY) || repositoryType.equals(RepositoryType.TESTS)) {
-                participation = retrieveSolutionParticipation(exercise);
-            }
-            else {
-                throw new VersionControlException("Could not find participation for repository", e);
-            }
-        }
+        catch (EntityNotFoundException e) {
+            repositoryType = getRepositoryType(repositoryTypeOrUserName, exercise);
+            participation = handleParticipationRetrievalError(e, repositoryType, exercise);
+        }

Line range hint 900-970: Improve error handling in VCS access logging

While the separation of concerns between HTTPS and SSH is good, the empty catch blocks could hide important errors. Consider at least logging these errors at debug level.

-        catch (Exception ignored) {
+        catch (Exception e) {
+            log.debug("Failed to update VCS access log: {}", e.getMessage());
         }
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/localvc/VcsAccessLogService.java (3)

68-73: Add debug logging for not-found case.

Consider adding debug logging when no VcsAccessLog is found to help with troubleshooting.

 var vcsAccessLog = vcsAccessLogRepository.findNewestByParticipationId(participation.getId());
 if (vcsAccessLog.isPresent()) {
     vcsAccessLog.get().setCommitHash(commitHash);
     vcsAccessLogRepository.save(vcsAccessLog.get());
+} else {
+    log.debug("No VcsAccessLog found for participation {}", participation.getId());
 }

102-121: Improve type safety and null handling.

The current implementation has room for improvement in type safety and null handling:

  1. Consider using pattern matching for instanceof (if using Java 16+)
  2. Add debug logging for the case when participation is not found or is of wrong type
-            if (participation.isPresent() && participation.get() instanceof ProgrammingExerciseParticipation programmingParticipation) {
+            if (participation.isEmpty()) {
+                log.debug("No participation found for id {}", participationId);
+                return Optional.empty();
+            }
+            if (!(participation.get() instanceof ProgrammingExerciseParticipation programmingParticipation)) {
+                log.debug("Participation {} is not a ProgrammingExerciseParticipation", participationId);
+                return Optional.empty();
+            }
+            log.debug("Creating preliminary access log for user {} and participation {}", user.getId(), participationId);

Line range hint 1-123: Consider transaction management for async operations.

The class uses @async for all database operations but lacks explicit transaction management. While this improves performance by making operations non-blocking, it could lead to data consistency issues.

Consider adding appropriate transaction management:

  1. Add @transactional to methods that modify data
  2. Configure transaction propagation and isolation levels based on your requirements
  3. Consider using @TransactionalEventListener for better control over transaction boundaries in async operations

Example:

 @Async
+@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
 public void saveAccessLog(User user, ProgrammingExerciseParticipation participation, ...) {
     // ... existing code ...
 }

223-226: Improved security with early authentication check

Good addition of an early check for the authorization header. This fails fast and provides clear error messaging.


259-260: Performance improvement: Reuse participation data

Good optimization to reuse the participation data from authorization for VCS access logging, reducing duplicate database queries.


Line range hint 376-405: Extract token validation logic for better maintainability

The method handles multiple concerns including token validation, participation retrieval, and token storage. Consider extracting the token validation logic into a separate method.


551-577: Well-optimized repository type checking

Excellent optimization that avoids unnecessary database queries for auxiliary repository checks when the user is a student. The code is well-documented and clearly explains the reasoning behind the optimization.

src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/RepositoryService.java (2)

462-472: LGTM! Well-structured logging method.

The new method effectively separates logging concerns, handles null cases appropriately with Optional, and is well-documented.


457-460: Verify impact of breaking API change.

The removal of the domainId parameter from commitChanges is a breaking change. While this improves the method's focus on core commit operations, we should verify all callers have been updated.

✅ Verification successful

Let me verify the git history to see if there were any other callers of this method before the change.


Let me try one more search to find any references to this method, including potential usages through the interface or superclass.


Breaking change is properly handled

Based on the codebase analysis, the removal of domainId parameter from commitChanges method is safe. The only caller of this method is in RepositoryResource.java, and it has been updated to use the new signature. No other usages were found in the codebase, including test files.
