Update to Duplication Engine Grades

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve tuned our Duplication Engine for Python, PHP, and JavaScript, to produce results closer to those provided by our Classic analysis. As a result, Python, PHP, and JavaScript repos analyzed on the platform may see a decline in GPA.

As the Code Climate Platform offers the ability to configure the engines, categories of checks, and even individual checks running on your project, you can always adjust the number of duplication issues found to better meet the requirements of your team.

You can adjust the number of duplication issues found by tuning the mass threshold configuration in your .codeclimate.yml:

    engines:
      duplication:
        enabled: true
        config:
          languages:
            python:
              mass_threshold: 40
            javascript:

More information about tuning mass thresholds and per-language defaults can be found in our docs. Feel free to reach out with any questions to codeclimate support.
