[--key /path/to/pseudonymized-keys.csv] 
[-f | --force]

Parameters:

--input <file> : (required) Path to the input BibTeX file to pseudonymize.
--output <file> : Path to save the pseudonymized BibTex file. (Default: <input-filename>.pseudo.bib)
--key <file> : Path to save the entries key mapping CSV file. (Default: <input-filename>.pseudo.csv)
-f, --force : Overwrite output file(s) if they already exist.

Example

Quick check while on the road. Maybe you can address this before a full review?

@calixtus for the output file shall I add check (of it's existence while output option is not passed) before parsing result or at the end where the new database is saved... and shall I ask the user to overwrite or not or define numerical formate automatically (origin_pseudo_1.bib, origin_pseudo_2.bib ...) ?

calixtus · 2025-05-25T17:03:26Z

Test the logic you implement, not the logic, you imported by dependencies. If you feel that this is a not-trivial test, then do it. If you are just testing already tested logic its superfluous.

calixtus · 2025-05-25T17:04:34Z

This might not be real TDD, but real TDD is too much noise anyway imho.

koppor · 2025-05-27T21:34:42Z

@paudelritij It would be nice if you wrote the new command on the PR description - then it is easier for non-programmers to follow...

@calixtus for the output file shall I add check (of it's existence while output option is not passed) before parsing result or at the end where the new database is saved... and shall I ask the user to overwrite or not or define numerical formate automatically (origin_pseudo_1.bib, origin_pseudo_2.bib ...) ?

I answered in-line, but I repeat:

error on file existance
Offer flag --force (short: -f) for overwrite.

paudelritij · 2025-05-27T21:47:41Z

Thank you for the comprehensive review. I have already implemented some of the suggestions yesterday and will make the necessary changes asap

calixtus · 2025-05-28T05:30:57Z

Don't forget to push after commiting, so we can follow

- Implement ADR 0045 - Add -f / --force flag to overwrite if file exist - Reformat saving of database to save meta-data as well - Add methods from FileUtil - Reformat CHANGELOG.md entry - Add JabRef_en.properties entry - A Comment added - Remove duplicate file Chocolate.bib - Improve logger and localization lang - Remove trivial test case - Rename all occurrence of word anon. to pseudo

Overwrite output file(s) if it exist reads strange. replace by

Overwrite output file(s) if any exist(s)

The path is not resolved correctly.

If no output file names are given, the output should be stored next to the input file.

./gradlew :jabkit:run --args="pseudonymize --input=C:\git-repositories\jabref-all\jabref-demo-libraries\chocolate\Chocolate.bib"

Results in output in jabkit folder - very strange

- Default output file path is now the same as input file location if not specified. - Created a single method to check for file existence.

On CLI output:

... is progress...

intead of

Pseudonymizing library 'Chocolate'.
Saving: C:\git-repositories\jabref-all\jabref-demo-libraries\chocolate\Chocolate.pseudo.bib.
Saving: C:\git-repositories\jabref-all\jabref-demo-libraries\chocolate\Chocolate.pseudo.csv.

Please

Saved C:\git-repositories\jabref-all\jabref-demo-libraries\chocolate\Chocolate.pseudo.bib.
Saved C:\git-repositories\jabref-all\jabref-demo-libraries\chocolate\Chocolate.pseudo.csv.

Saving does not take long time, thus it can be the output oafer successful save
