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(String, Integer, Integer)
newParameterNamesrequiredString[]An array of parameter names that indicates the new order in which those arguments should be arranged.
e.g. [foo, bar, baz]
oldParameterNamesString[]If the original method signature is not type-attributed, this is an optional list that indicates the original order in which the arguments were arranged.
e.g. [baz, bar, foo]
ignoreDefinitionBooleanWhen set to true the definition of the old type will be left untouched. This is useful when you're replacing usage of a class but don't want to rename it.
matchOverridesBooleanWhen enabled, find methods that are overrides of the method pattern.
