# runtime_profiler

*A runtime profiler for Rails applications.*

Check which part of your Rails application is causing slow response time. **runtime_profiler** gives you an easy way to find performance problems by profiling an endpoint or a method in your Rails application.

## Getting Started

### Installing

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
# In your Gemfile
group :development, :test do
gem 'runtime_profiler'
end
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install runtime_profiler

### Profiling

#### Structure

To profile a specific class (model, controller, etc), all you need to do is to wrap a line where the target class (or instance) is calling a method (entry point of profiling).

```ruby
# Profiles runtime of `ClassToProfile` class.
RuntimeProfiler.profile!('description', [ClassToProfile]) {
# one line where `ClassToProfile` (or its instance) is calling a method
}
```

Since the second argument of `.profile!` accepts array of classes, then you can provide all target classes that you want to profile.

#### Examples

You can make a test that targets a particular endpoint (or even just a method) and use `RuntimeProfiler.profile!` method in the test.

```ruby
it 'updates user' do
# Profiles runtime of PUT /users/:id endpoint and
# specifically interested with the methods of `User` model.
RuntimeProfiler.profile!('updates user', [User]) {
patch :update, { id: user.id, name: 'Joe' }
}

expect(response.status).to eq(200)
end
```

Run the test as usual and follow printed instructions after running.

Or if you prefer writing just code snippet, then just wrap the snippet with `RuntimeProfiler.profile!` method:
```ruby
# Profiles runtime of `UserMailer` mailer.
RuntimeProfiler.profile!('UserMailer', [UserMailer]) {
user = User.last
UserMailer.with(user: user).weekly_summary.deliver_now
}
```

**Note:** The code (test or not) where `RuntimeProfiler.profile!` is used must be **free from any mocking/stubbing** since the goal is to check performance bottlenecks.

### Viewing Profiling Result

To see profiling report, you can open the report in browser with JSON viewer report. Or you can run the following command:

```bash
bundle exec runtime_profiler view tmp/rp-124094-1608308786.json
```

#### view options

Here are the command line options for `runtime_profiler view` command.

```bash
$ bundle exec runtime_profiler view --help

NAME:

view

SYNOPSIS:

runtime_profiler view [options]

DESCRIPTION:

Display report in console given the JSON report file

OPTIONS:

--sort-by COLUMN
Sort by COLUMN. COLUMN can be "max_runtime", total_calls" or "total_runtime". Default is "max_runtime".

--details TYPE
TYPE can be "full" or "summary". Default is "summary"

--only-sqls
Show only SQL queries. Default is false.

--only-methods
Show only methods. Default is false.

--runtime-above RUNTIME
RUNTIME is integer or float value in ms.

--calls-above CALLS
CALLS is integer value.

--rounding ROUNDING
ROUNDING is integer value. Used in rounding runtimes. Default is 4.
```

### Configurations

All the configurable variables and their defaults are listed below. There is no one correct place where to put these configurations. It can be inside `config/initializers` folder of your Rails application. Or if you are using test to profile, it can be in the last part of `spec/spec_helper.rb`.
```ruby
RuntimeProfiler.output_path = File.join(Rails.root.to_s, 'tmp')
RuntimeProfiler.profiled_constants = [User]
RuntimeProfiler.profiled_paths = %w(app lib)
RuntimeProfiler.profiled_sql_commands = %w(SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE)
# Useful when you want to exclude in profiling specific method(s) from framework/library being used
RuntimeProfiler.excepted_methods = [:attribute_type_decorations, :_validators, :defined_enums]
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
