A slightly complicated test setup. I wanted to both make sure I captured the semantics of Python and also the fact that the kinds of global flow we expect to see are indeed present. The code is executable, and prints out both when the execution reaches certain files, and also what values are assigned to the various attributes that are referenced throughout the program. These values are validated in the test as well. My original version used introspection to avoid referencing attributes directly (thus enabling better error diagnostics), but unfortunately that made it so that the model couldn't follow what was going on. The current setup is a bit clunky (and Python's scoping rules makes it especially so -- cf. the explicit calls to `globals` and `locals`), but I think it does the job okay.
CodeQL
This open source repository contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power GitHub Advanced Security and the other application security products that GitHub makes available to its customers worldwide.
How do I learn CodeQL and run queries?
There is extensive documentation on getting started with writing CodeQL using the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code and the CodeQL CLI.
Contributing
We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our contributing guidelines. You can also consult our style guides to learn how to format your code for consistency and clarity, how to write query metadata, and how to write query help documentation for your query.
