Since expectation tests had so many changes from ConceptsTest, I'm going
to do the changes for that on in a separate commit. The important part
is the changes to taint-tracking, which is highlighted in this commit.
The other approach felt a bit too much like specifying magic strings
that you had to get right. (crossing your fingers that no-one writes
`HTML` instead of `html`)
This was slightly messier than anticipated, as I hadn't accounted for
the dozen uses of `startInAttr` in our codebase. To circumvent this,
I decided to put the type tracking implementation in the `internal`
directory, and wrap it with a file that ensures the old interface still
works.
Since we want to be able to easy select request-handlers that are not
set up as part of a view-class, we need to easily be able to identify
those. To handle cases like the one below, we _can't_ just define these
to be all the async functions that are not methods on a class :(
```py
# see https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/web_quickstart.html#organizing-handlers-in-classes
class MyCustomHandlerClass:
async def foo_handler(self, request): # $ MISSING: requestHandler
return web.Response(text="MyCustomHandlerClass.foo")
my_custom_handler = MyCustomHandlerClass()
app.router.add_get("/MyCustomHandlerClass/foo", my_custom_handler.foo_handler) # $ routeSetup="/MyCustomHandlerClass/foo"
```
So it seemed easiest to narrow down the route-setups, but that means we
want both refinement and extensibility... so `::Range` pattern to the
rescue 🎉
The important piece of code that still works after this commit, but
which hasn't been changed, is the one below:
```codeql
/**
* A parameter that will receive a `aiohttp.web.Request` instance when a request
* handler is invoked.
*/
class AiohttpRequestHandlerRequestParam extends Request::InstanceSource, RemoteFlowSource::Range,
DataFlow::ParameterNode {
AiohttpRequestHandlerRequestParam() {
exists(Function requestHandler |
requestHandler = any(AiohttpCoroutineRouteSetup setup).getARequestHandler() and
```
