Options

NameTypeDescription
methodPatternrequiredStringA method pattern is used to find matching method invocations. For example, to find all method invocations in the Guava library, use the pattern: com.google.common..*#*(..).

The pattern format is <PACKAGE>#<METHOD_NAME>(<ARGS>).

..* includes all subpackages of com.google.common.
*(..) matches any method name with any number of arguments.

For more specific queries, like Guava's ImmutableMap, use com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap#*(..) to narrow down the results.
e.g. com.yourorg.A foo(int, int)
argumentIndexrequiredintA zero-based index indicating where to insert the new argument.
e.g. 0
literalrequiredObjectThe literal value to add as an argument.
e.g. abc
primitiveTypeStringThe parameter type for the added argument. Defaults to String.
e.g. String
