Hello @wilbaker,
search_strategy
is a shortcut to set the fuzzing mode through the command line. It passes through the string specified by the user to the fuzzing_mode
in the engine. The behavior is the same as if you set fuzzing_mode
in the engine settings.
Thanks,
Marina
Ok thanks! I will close this issue.
Description
Hi,
Does the command line argument
--search_strategy
:Control the behavior of RESTler in the same way as the settings file option of
fuzzing_mode
?https://github.com/microsoft/restler-fuzzer/blob/3c54a11f72808d9fd2fa0bd0710e0cb453ff9e71/docs/user-guide/SettingsFile.md?plain=1#L139
Based on the values these settings support I would expect that these settings are the same. However, support for the
--search_strategy
option was added afterfuzzing_mode
(--search_strategy
was added here: https://github.com/microsoft/restler-fuzzer/pull/288 ) and that makes me think that there is (or was) a difference in what these settings control.Thanks!
