Question about API documentation and Q&A posts

[phkrief]

I try to understand how this menu item works. When I select the code: "JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();" I would expect to receive the same list of posts from StackOverflow as if I was searching directly from StackOverflow. It is not really the case. So How should I use this item if I look for example on JSONParser ?

Actually, if I only select JSONParser and ask for "API documentation and Q&A posts" and get the famous error: ;-)

Any help is welcome Thanks

Hi Philippe, The server properly replies with a list of SO ids. The KB deployed to ci3 works: For instance, your request

curl -X POST "http://ci4.castalia.camp:8080/api/recommendation/recommended_API_documentation" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"compilationUnit\": \"JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();\" }"

produces

  "recommendationItems": [
    {
      "apiDocumentationLink": "13722549",
      "apiCallRecommendation": null,

}

SO recommendation results.

ENHANCEMENT: I suggest selecting all the code in the compilation unit (all class code) to get better results: the KB query-builder uses the import section of the class to generate a good query.

Indeed ! I just tried taking the whole initial code including the import and the results are much more accurate. thx a lot
