Cognitive build recovery from inter-code commit issues

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a program, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation, the operation comprising:
• identifying a build error for a software project comprising a plurality of software modules, and in response:
• selecting a first software module, of the plurality of software modules, with one or more errors related to the build error;
• identifying a comparison software module for the first software module, wherein the comparison software module comprises at least one of:
• (i) a sibling software module to the first software module or (ii) an earlier version of the first software module;
• determining a potential problem with the first software module, related to the build error, based on comparing the first software module with the comparison software module;
• generating a solution to the potential problem based on the first software module, the solution comprising a modification to the software code of the first software module;
• and
• applying the solution by modifying the software code of the first software module.

A non-transitory computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation, the operation comprising:
• identifying a build error for a software project comprising a plurality of software modules, and in response:
• selecting a first software module, of the plurality of software modules, with one or more errors related to the build error;
• identifying a comparison software module for the first software module, wherein the comparison software module comprises at least one of:
• (i) a sibling software module to the first software module or (ii) an earlier version of the first software module;
• determining a potential problem with the first software module, related to the build error, based on comparing the first software module with the comparison software module;
• generating a solution to the potential problem based on the first software module, the solution comprising a modification to the software code of the first software module;
• and
• applying the solution by modifying the software code of the first software module.
