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 that indicates which argument will be added as null to the method invocation.
e.g. 0
parameterTyperequiredStringThe type of the parameter that we add the argument for.
e.g. java.lang.String
parameterNameStringThe name of the parameter that we add the argument for.
e.g. name
explicitCastBooleanExplicitly cast the argument to the parameter type. Useful if the method is overridden with another type.
e.g. true
