I found this during a bit of spring cleaning in my working
directory. As this doesn't have any immediate security implications, I
don't know when we'll get round to fixing it, but it can't hurt to
have the test case checked in.
In general, if there is _some_ decorator on a function, it might not be safe to
track content out of it (since the decorator could do anything), but in this
case, we can see what the decorator does, so we should be able to handle it (but
we don't right now).
By my understanding of how type-tracking works, if we track content through
`my_decorator`, then we would also track content to the result of
`unrelated_func()`, which I wanted to make sure our tests would catch.
I found out the core of the problem seems to come from our lack of being able to
track to the inner scope, and added an explicit test for that.
This is slightly dubious, and should really be in the currently
unimplemented "def" counterpart to the "use" bits we already have.
However, it seems to work correctly, and in the spirit of moving
things along, this seemed like the easier solution. We can always
replace the implementation with the "proper" approach at a later point.
In lieu of removing the offending flow (which would likely have
consequences for a lot of other tests), I opted to simply _include_
the relevant nodes directly.
There is now a bit of redundancy in the tests, but I thought it useful
to actually include some of the cases called out explicitly in the
documentation, so as to make it easy to see that the code actually
does what we expect (in these cases, anyway).
This turned out to be fairly simple. Given an import such as
```python
from foo.bar.baz import quux
```
we create an API-graph node for each valid dotted prefix of
`foo.bar.baz`, i.e. `foo`, `foo.bar`, and `foo.bar.baz`. For these, we
then insert nodes in the API graph, such that `foo` steps to `foo.bar`
along an edge labeled `bar`, etc.
Finally, we only allow undotted names to hang off of the API-graph
root. Thus, `foo` will have a `moduleImport` edge off of the root, and
a `getMember` edge for `bar` (which in turn has a `getMember` edge for
`baz`).
Relative imports are explicitly ignored.
Finally, this commit also adds inline tests for a variety of ways of
importing modules, including a copy of the "import-helper" tests (with
a few modifications to allow a single annotation per line, as these
get rather long quickly!).
