Lotas' error diagnosis system utilizes a three-tier processing mechanism:
- Instant grammar checking: Flag basic errors such as missing parentheses, undefined variables, etc. in real time based on the R language specification
- Context-aware fixes: Suggest fixes that fit the current context (e.g., recommending correct variable names) in conjunction with the function definitions and data objects in the project
- Logic error detection: Recognize potential problem patterns, such as improper memory allocation within loops, statistical test precondition violations, etc.
When the user clicks the "Fix Bug" button, the system will 1) locate the root cause of the bug 2) evaluate the credibility of the fix and 3) provide an executable replacement code block. For complex errors, it also provides links to academic documentation or suggests consulting community experts. Test data shows that its error capture accuracy reaches 92%, which is significantly higher than RStudio's native diagnostic tool.
