I believe doing this commit as-is is wrong. Let's consider an example:

project/package.json project/src/include/x.h project/src/include/x.cpp
If the above is a native project (where we do not support any package manager) applying this commit would eliminate the unmnaged project. All files would be associated with the package.json. Then you want to exclude the package.json, because the project is native only. If you do so, you effectively exclude also all native code as it gets only associated with the package-json.

While it's correct that before this PR an unmanaged project would have been created, the project/src/include/x.h and project/src/include/x.cpp files from your example would not be associated to it, but to the NPM project defined by project/package.json. In general, every file is associated to the "closest" project (defined by a definition file) when walking along the parents in directory tree.

So when you say

All files would be associated with the package.json.

then that's correct, but unless I'm terribly mistaken, it's exactly how it was before.

would not be associated to it, but to the NPM project defined by project/package.json.

Are you sure this is true? I believe the files are assigned to both projects, unmanaged and project/package.json.

In general, every file is associated to the "closest" project

mind sharing a reference for this?

then that's correct, but unless I'm terribly mistaken, it's exactly how it was before.

I believe you are mistaken, but it could also be me. Let's figure it out. I should look into it again myself, but I have some urgent things right now todo.

Actually all files are associated to all definition files found in their parent directories. For example if you have:

- README.md - a - build.gradle - b - package.json - c - main.cpp

Then main.cpp would be associated with the Unmanaged, Gradle and NPM projects, because we never filter subdirectories that contain other projects. I have suggested we do that at least for Unmanaged in the past, because the idea of this fake package manager was to make sure that also files that cannot be associated to a project get scanned, but it was never implemented.

@fviernau The scenario you describe above would be a weird project setup, but if the package.json was in the root directory you would have exactly the same issue already with the existing code. A workaround could be to not exclude the project but only all dependency scopes, and I wonder if that would not be sufficient, because Unmanaged was never intended to solve the problem you describe.

The scenario you describe above would be a weird project setup

because?

The scenario you describe above would be a weird project setup

because?

Because you shouldn't put *.h / *.cpp files which are C++ files in the directory tree of an (unrelated) NPM project where only *.js files are expected. Or is this some funky-special NPM project that implements a native addon and the *.h / *.cpp files are in fact part of the NPM project?

Agree that one shouldn't do that setup (probably) but should ORT really say that it doesn't support such setups ?

Actually, I indeed would be fine with ORT not supporting such setups. Also in other areas (like maintaining metdata) we leverage ORT to foster best engineering practices. So why not here?

Anyway, that was also not your original question; your original question was why it's weird. And you seem to agree it's weird now.

The scenario you describe above would be a weird project setup

because?

Because why do you have a package.json lying around in your native code project?

would not be associated to it, but to the NPM project defined by project/package.json.

Are you sure this is true? I believe the files are assigned to both projects, unmanaged and project/package.json.

For reference, turns out that @fviernau was right, and scan findings are not only associated to the "closest" project, but to all projects on the way up to the root... also see #5365.

I've split out the uncontroversial changes to #3377.

sschuberth · 2021-05-19T09:12:30Z

@fviernau I've found a bug in the implementation and have slightly rewritten it for more clarity. Please have another look.

fviernau · 2021-05-19T12:03:12Z

I gave this some thought again. The only issue I found so far is related to the semantics of OrtResult.isExcluded() and it's use in the notice template.

Currently the semantics is: "A project is excluded if and only if the definition file is excluded". See [1], [2].

This means that if I only exclude a the definition file of a project, but not the > 0 additionally associated files,
then the licenses of the project files will not be included in the notice file (assuming the are not associated to also with another project like the "Unknown" one), see [3], [4].

This exact situation I believe may break the NOTICE files in our internal setup.

I haven't checked the evaluator but I'd suspect an analog issue there.

What do you think @sschuberth @mnonnenmacher ?

Note: I believe it should be possible to exclude a definition file without excluding all project files. So, change the implementation so that a (project) file should be included in the notices if there is no matching path exclude for it.

@sschuberth Unfortunately we would like to put this on hold from HERE side until we have found another solution for a special case where we have to exclude definition files, but must not exclude the source code from the same directory. Currently the Unmanaged project acts as a workaround for that.

sschuberth · 2021-06-22T16:41:41Z

As a side note, this PR also fixes the case where two projects (a real one and an unmanaged one) are created when analyzing only a single definition file. I.e.

    projects:
    - id: "PIP:::"
      definition_file_path: "analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/pip/requirements.txt"
      declared_licenses: []
      declared_licenses_processed: {}
      vcs:
        type: ""
        url: ""
        revision: ""
        path: ""
      vcs_processed:
        type: "Git"
        url: "https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort.git"
        revision: "41bbe0e10988f3761dc5075fc11899d675360734"
        path: "analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/pip"
      homepage_url: ""
      scope_names: []
    - id: "Unmanaged::ort:41bbe0e10988f3761dc5075fc11899d675360734"
      definition_file_path: ""
      declared_licenses: []
      declared_licenses_processed: {}
      vcs:
        type: ""
        url: ""
        revision: ""
        path: ""
      vcs_processed:
        type: "Git"
        url: "https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort.git"
        revision: "41bbe0e10988f3761dc5075fc11899d675360734"
        path: "analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/pip/requirements.txt"
      homepage_url: ""
      scope_names: []

becomes just

    projects:
    - id: "PIP:::"
      definition_file_path: "analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/pip/requirements.txt"
      declared_licenses: []
      declared_licenses_processed: {}
      vcs:
        type: ""
        url: ""
        revision: ""
        path: ""
      vcs_processed:
        type: "Git"
        url: "https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort.git"
        revision: "8ff2d460412785e8374df4d093b12dbf8ecfc1db"
        path: "analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/pip"
      homepage_url: ""
      scope_names: []

Concerns are probably obsolete by now.

sschuberth · 2022-05-03T14:11:02Z

@mnonnenmacher please have a look again.

analyzer/src/main/kotlin/Analyzer.kt

So far, if the directory structure was like root-dir | +-.git | +-project-dir still an unmanaged project would have been created because no definition file is in the root directory, and the project directory is regarded as an unmanaged "file", even though there are not really any unmanaged files in the root. Fix this by a introducing a check that removes all managed paths (or ignored files) from all files in the root. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Schuberth <sebastian.schuberth@bosch.io>

mnonnenmacher · 2022-05-03T19:22:59Z

I have marked this with the breaking change label, because it could lead to unexpected results if the ort.yml contains configuration for the unmanaged project.
