Follow-up and Clarification on Recent Malicious Ruby Gems Campaign
A clarification on our recent research investigating 60 malicious Ruby gems.
The Ycv
Gem (YAML to CSV and vice versa) is a simple yet powerful command-line tool designed specifically for converting Rails fixtures between YAML and CSV formats. This makes Ycv
an ideal tool for developers working with Rails applications, allowing for easy manipulation and conversion of data fixtures and configurations.
To install the Ycv
gem, add the following line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ycv'
Then execute:
bundle install
Alternatively, you can install it yourself from the command line:
gem install ycv
The ycv command-line tool is straightforward to use and supports output to both files and standard output (STDOUT), making it versatile for scripting and piping to other commands.
To convert a YAML file to CSV:
ycv path/to/input.yml path/to/output.csv
To convert a CSV file to YAML:
ycv path/to/input.csv path/to/output.yml
Using Standard Output If you prefer to output the conversion result to STDOUT (for example, for further processing with other command-line tools), simply omit the output file path:
Convert YAML to CSV and output to STDOUT:
ycv path/to/input.yml > output.csv
Convert CSV to YAML and output to STDOUT:
ycv path/to/input.csv > output.yml
This feature allows you to easily integrate ycv into your command-line workflows and use it in conjunction with other tools like grep, awk, or redirections.
In addition to the CLI, Ycv can be used as a library within Ruby applications.
This section provides a simple example of converting between CSV and YAML formats using the ycv tool.
Given a YAML file sample.yml with the following content:
sample_1:
id: 1
name: Alice
age: 30
sample_2:
id: 2
name: Bob
age: 25
Running ycv sample.yml sample.csv
will produce a CSV file sample.csv with the following content:
id,name,age
1,Alice,30
2,Bob,25
Conversely, given a CSV file sample.csv with the following content:
id,name,age
1,Alice,30
2,Bob,25
Running ycv sample.csv sample.yml
will produce a YAML file sample.yml with the following content:
sample_1:
id: 1
name: Alice
age: 30
sample_2:
id: 2
name: Bob
age: 25
These examples demonstrate the straightforward conversion process between CSV and YAML formats, making it easy to integrate ycv into your data handling workflows.
