Abstract
Managing compiler build errors that can arise during infrastructure upgrades in large, polyglot codebases may be challenging, as manual remediation can be slow and some automated tools may not support modern language syntax. A system can provide automated error remediation by ingesting compiler diagnostics and analyzing source code using an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). A recursive scope resolution algorithm, for example, can traverse the AST to identify a specific and narrowly-scoped code block at which to apply an error suppression. Conversely, this algorithmic complexity can be bypassed when lexical scope resolution is not required, and the system can identify the specific location of error suppressions directly from the error's exact coordinates. The system may then generate and apply language-specific patches, such as structured comments for JavaScript source files or line-scoped comments for TypeScript source files, for example, by using a transactional rewrite engine. This approach can provide a scalable method for managing automated code remediation, which may facilitate infrastructure upgrades by reducing the need for manual intervention.
