Tracking empty files #248
Description
Tracking the history of a file, I saw that the class ModifiedFile for empty files can not retrive correctly the info about old_path for them creation (it should be None but we have the same path of new_path) and new_path for them deletion (should be None but it remains the same).
It happens often dealing with "_init_.py"
I think the problem (if it's a problem) could be in parsing the git diff when there are no modified lines.
Here is what happens by parsing your repo for the creation of 'pydriller/tests/integration/_init_.py' :
- commit: 4be0402
- ModifiedFile:
-- old_path = {str} 'pydriller/tests/integration/_init_.py'
-- source_code_before = {NoneType} None
-- new_path = {str} 'pydriller/tests/integration/_init_.py'
-- source_code = {str} ''
with command:
git diff 4be0402~ 4be0402
...
diff --git a/pydriller/tests/integration/_init_.py b/pydriller/tests/integration/_init_.py
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
...
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your time.
