# Installing

Use `pip` to install `route-detect`:

```
$ python -m pip install --upgrade route-detect
```

You can check that `route-detect` is installed correctly with the following command:

```
$ echo 'print(1 == 1)' | semgrep --config $(routes which test-route-detect) -
Scanning 1 file.

Findings:

/tmp/stdin
     routes.rules.test-route-detect
        Found '1 == 1', your route-detect installation is working correctly

1┆ print(1 == 1)

Ran 1 rule on 1 file: 1 finding.
```

# Using

`route-detect` uses the `routes` CLI command and provides the following command tree:

- `routes`
  - `which`
  - `viz`

## Semgrep

First, ensure you have `semgrep` installed and included on your `PATH`.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The Semgrep functionality `route-detect` depends on to display code snippets has been moved behind their cloud app. For more information see [#10762](https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep/issues/10762). However, earlier versions of Semgrep still support this behavior. When using `route-detect`, make sure to install a version of Semgrep before `1.97.0`. This can be accomplished with the following command: `python -m pip install 'semgrep<1.97.0'`.

Use the `which` subcommand to point `semgrep` at the correct web application rules:

```
$ semgrep --config $(routes which django) path/to/django/code
```

Use the `viz` subcommand to visualize route information in your browser:

```
$ semgrep --json --config $(routes which django) --output routes.json path/to/django/code
$ routes viz --browser routes.json
```

If you're not sure which framework to look for, you can use the special `all` ID to check everything:

```
$ semgrep --json --config $(routes which all) --output routes.json path/to/code
```

If you have custom authn or authz logic, you can copy `route-detect`'s rules:

```
$ cp $(routes which django) my-django.yml
```

Then you can modify the rule as necessary and run it like above:

```
$ semgrep --json --config my-django.yml --output routes.json path/to/django/code
$ routes viz --browser routes.json
```

## CodeQL

First, ensure you have `codeql` installed and included on your `PATH`.

Use the `which` subcommand to first install the pack's dependencies, then run the appropriate queries:

```
$ codeql pack install $(poetry run routes which -c rails)
```

```
$ codeql database analyze \
    --output routes.sarif \
    --format sarif-latest \
    --sarif-add-file-contents \
    --no-group-results \
    -- \
    /path/to/codeql/db \
    $(routes which --codeql rails)
```

Use the `viz` subcommand to visualize route information in your browser:

```
$ routes viz --codeql --browser routes.sarif
```

# Contributing

`route-detect` uses [`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/) for dependency and configuration management.

Before proceeding, install project dependencies with the following command:

```
$ poetry install --with dev
```

## Linting

Lint all project files with the following command:

```
$ poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
```

## Testing

Run Python tests with the following command:

```
$ poetry run pytest --cov
```

Run Semgrep rule tests with the following command:

```
$ poetry run semgrep --test --config routes/rules/ tests/test_rules/
```

Run CodeQL query tests with the following command:

```
$ codeql test run routes/queries/rails/test/
```
