Standalone-monitoring-stability

Steps to add more repositories in the workflow

1. Create a new branch from main
2. Navigate to repos folder
3. Based on the language, open [language].txt file
4. Add your repository link at the end. (do not leave any trailing/leading white-spaces or newlines)
5. Raise the PR to main

---

If a new file is created in the previous steps, meaning repositories for a new language have been added, follow the below additional steps.

6. Navigate to Privado Core Comparison Workflow
7. Create a branch from dev
8. Add a new element in the array which should be exactly the name of the file added in the previous steps. (without .txt)
9. Raise a PR to dev and subsequently to main

> NOTE: For ruby, please add a new file `ruby-n` in the comparison workflow and follow steps 1-9. The reason for this is that ruby repos take too much time to scan, and this will hinder the execution time of the workflow.

Steps to use the standalone-comparison-tool

• Setup

1. Navigate to the directory

2. Run python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

3. Run python3 -m venv env

4. Run source env/bin/activate

5. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the dependencies.

6. Run python3 ./run.py -f [first_branch] -s [second_branch]

• Options

• To specify a custom repository list, use -r or --repos. Default is ./repos.txt.

• Run python3 ./run.py -r path_to_file.txt -f [base_branch] -s [head_branch]

• To upload the output result to slack, use --upload. Default is set to --no-upload

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_branch] -h [head_branch] --upload

• To clear all the previously generated cache and binary data, use -c.

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_branch] -h [head_branch] -c

• To store the privado-core binary for future use, use -b

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_branch] -h [head_branch] -b True. Cache is deleted after each run by default.

• To specify privado branch when comparing privado-core branch, use -rbb and -rbh

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_branch] -h [head_branch] -rbb [privado_base_branch] -rbh [privado_head_branch]

• To compare the privado branches, use -urc

• Run python3 ./run.py -rbb [privado_base_branch] -rbh [privado_head_branch] -urc

• To specify privado-core branch when comparing privado branches, use -rbb and -rbh

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_branch] -h [head_branch] -rbb [privado_base_branch] -rbh [privado_head_branch] -urc

• To compare already genereated privado.json files, use -m

• Run python3 ./run.py -b [base_privado_json_path] -h [head_privado_json_path] -m

• To use docker build instead of generating binaries, use -d or --use-docker

• Run python3 ./run.py --use-docker -b [base_docker_tag] -h [head_docker_tag]

Folder structure for storing the results.

- temp

- privado

- privado-core

- result

- base_branch

- repo-output.txt --- Contains the scan results

- repo.json --- privado.json for the repository

- head_branch

- repo-output.txt --- Contains the scan results

- repo.json --- privado.json for the repository
