## Development
### Getting Started
Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/).
```sh
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/license-finder.git
$ cd license-finder
```
Download the latest version of the Docker image.
```sh
$ ./bin/docker-pull
```
Launch a shell in the Docker container.
```sh
$ ./bin/docker-shell
```

### Building Debian packages
Debian packages for each tool is built using [omnibus](https://github.com/chef/omnibus).
Read the [documentation](https://github.com/chef/omnibus#-omnibus) for more information.
The list of projects that can be built can be found in `config/projects/`.
E.g.
To build the `golang` package follow these steps:
```sh
$ ./bin/docker-omnibus
$ GOLANG_VERSION=1.15.3 ./bin/omnibus build golang
```
When a new version of a tool needs to be built, add
the new version to the tool file located in `./config/software/asdf_<tool>.rb`
and include the appropriate checksum.
### Updating the SPDX index

## Step by Step: Detection
1. Run the Docker image:
```sh
docker run \
--volume "$PWD":/code \
--env=LM_REPORT_VERSION="2.1" \
--env=CI_PROJECT_DIR=/code \
registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/license-finder:latest
```
1. The `ENTRYPOINT` for the container will execute [run.sh](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/license-finder/-/blob/191185c4303768c6d9a1431c35143501c06ee4d7/run.sh):
```Dockerfile
ENTRYPOINT ["/run.sh"]
```
1. This shell script sets up the runtime environment then invokes the `license_management` executable:
```sh
#!/bin/bash -l
export LM_JAVA_VERSION=${LM_JAVA_VERSION:-"8"}
export LM_PYTHON_VERSION=${LM_PYTHON_VERSION:-"3"}
export LM_REPORT_FILE=${LM_REPORT_FILE:-'gl-license-scanning-report.json'}
...
license_management report $@
```
1. The `license_management` executable loads monkey patches for [license_finder][license_finder] then invokes the CLI:
```ruby
require 'license/management'
LicenseFinder::CLI::Main.start(ARGV)
```
1. [license_finder][license_finder] searches for lockfiles in the project.
```ruby
def active?
project_path.join('pom.xml').exist?
end
```
1. When a [license_finder][license_finder] determines that a package manager is active, it then invokes the `prepare` step for that package manager.
```ruby
def prepare
within_project_path do
tool_box.install(tool: :java, version: java_version, env: default_env)
end
end
```
1. The `tool_box` determines the required version of tools (i.e Java, Ruby, Python etc) for the package manager and then installs it by looking in `/opt/toolcache/` for a matching `*.deb` file or falls back to `asdf` to install the tool from source.
```ruby
def install(tool:, version: , env: {})
Dir.chdir project_path do
deb = deb_for(tool, version)
shell.execute([:dpkg, '-i', deb]) if deb&.exist?
shell.execute([:asdf, :install, tool.to_s, version], env: env)
end
end
def deb_for(tool, version)
Pathname.glob("/opt/toolcache/#{tool}-#{version}*.deb")[0]
end
```
1. After the tool(s) are installed the package manager class builds a list of dependencies identified in the project. If an `install_path` is provided then the files in this directory are scanned for software licenses.
```ruby
def current_packages
within_project_path do
return [] unless shell.execute(detect_licenses_command, env: default_env)[-1].success?
resource_files.flat_map { |file| map_from(file.read) }.uniq
end
end
```
1. Once all the dependencies and their licenses are identified a JSON report is generated for the desired version of the report. The `Report` class is backwards compatible and able to generate any previous version of the report.
```ruby
def to_s
JSON.pretty_generate(version_for(report_version).to_h)
end
def version_for(version)
VERSIONS.fetch(version.to_s).new(dependencies)
end
```
1. The final JSON report is written to [gl-license-scanning-report.json](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/license-finder/-/blob/191185c4303768c6d9a1431c35143501c06ee4d7/spec/fixtures/schema/v2.1.json) in the root of the project.

## Opportunities for improvement
* [ ] Cache the [`.gitlab/cache`][cache-dir] directory in [License-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml][ci-template] to speed up `prepare` step
* [ ] Make `--recursive` scan the default
* [ ] Override the `nodejs` plugin to install the [Linux Binaries][nodejs-binaries] instead of compiling from source code.
* [ ] Replace license detection engine with [license classifier][google-classifier] or [licensee][licensee]
* [ ] Run `prepare` step for each active package manager in parallel
* [ ] Store Debian packages for each tool in hosted Debian repository instead of storing in `/opt/toolcache`.
* Alternatives to consider:
* [Google License Classifier][google-classifier]
