Developer Notes
Generate semgrep_sec.yaml
-
Clone https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep-rules
-
cd to semgrep-rules/python
-
do
cat **/security/**/*.yaml >> semgrep_sec.yaml
cat **/security/*.yaml >> semgrep_sec.yaml
-
Find and replace rules:
with `` apart from the first instance
-

Documentation
A high-level overview of how the documentation is organized organized will help you know
where to look for certain things:
- The Technical Reference documents APIs and other aspects of the
machinery. This documentation describes how to use the classes and functions at a lower level
and assume that you have a good high-level understanding of the software.

Building
This project uses https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/FHMake to automate most of the building. This
command generates the documentation, updates the requirements.txt and builds the library artefacts
Note the functionality provided by fhmake can be approximated by the following
handsdown --cleanup -o documentation/reference
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --with dev --output requirements_optional.txt
poetry build
fhmake audit
can be run to perform additional checks
Testing
For testing with the version of python used by poetry use
poetry run pytest
Alternatively use tox
to run tests over python 3.8 - 3.11
tox
