RepoCoder: Repository-Level Code Completion Through Iterative Retrieval and Generation

Overview

In the paper, we present RepoCoder, a simple, generic, and effective framework to tackle the repository-level code completion task, which is to continue writing the unfinished code based on a broader context of the repository. RepoCoder incorporates a similarity-based retriever, a pre-trained code language model, and a novel iterative retrieval-generation paradigm. It streamlines the overall process and eliminates the need for heuristic rules, static code analysis, data labeling, and model re-training in previous studies.

We also present a new benchmark, RepoEval, for the repository-level code completion task, which consists of the latest and high-quality real-world repositories covering line, API invocation, and function body completion scenarios. We test the performance of RepoCoder and show that it significantly improves the zero-shot code completion baseline by over 10% and consistently outperforms the vanilla retrieval-augmented code completion approach.

Project

This project contains the basic components of RepoCoder. Here is an overview:

|-- make_window.py # slice the repository files and the model predictions into code snippets
|-- build_vector.py # build the vector representation for the code snippets
|-- search_code.py # search relevant code snippets with the vector representation
|-- build_prompt.py # build the prompt with the unfinished code and the retrieved code snippets
|-- run_pipeline.py # run the code completion pipeline
|-- compute_score.py # evaluate the performance of the code completion
|-- utils.py # utility functions
|-- datasets/datasets.zip # the input data for the code completion task

We utilize a private library to handle the execution and evaluation of the function-level completion. Due to the license issue, we cannot release the code. However, we provide the data for the function-level completion task in datasets/datasets.zip and repositories/function_level.zip.

Quickstart

Prepare Environment

First, we should set up a python environment. This code base has been tested under python 3.8.

$ conda create -n repocoder python=3.8
$ conda activate repocoder
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the Code Completion

  1. The run_RG1_and_oracle_method function in run_pipeline.py shows the process of building the prompts for vanilla retrieval-augmented generation (RG1) and the Oracle method. The generated prompts are listed in a .jsonl file, where each line contains the content in the following format:
{
  "prompt": "...the retrieved code snippets and unfinished code...",
  "metadata": {
    "task_id": "repo_name/idx",
    "ground_truth": "ground truth completion",
    "fpath_tuple": ["path", "to", "target file"],
    "context_start_lineno": 0,
    "line_no": 10,
  }
}
  1. Then we can call the model to generate completions and organize the results in the following format:
{
  "prompt": "...the retrieved code snippets and unfinished code...",
  "choices": [{"text": "...generated completion without repeating the input prompt..."}],
  "metadata": {}
}
  1. Next, we can evaluate the performance of the code completion with the compute_score.py script. The script will compute the Exact Match and Edit Similarity scores.

  2. After that, we can use the run_RepoCoder_method function in run_pipeline.py to run a second iteration of retrieval-generation, which is our proposed RepoCoder approach, using the prediction file of RG1. And finally, we can evaluate the performance of RepoCoder as introduced in Step 3.
