fix(cyclonedx): preserve purl casing and qualifier encoding at write time - #327
Improved CycloneDX dependency reporting for npm packages by preserving package-name casing and correctly separating scoped package names from versions.
Ensured package reference fields—including namespaces, names, versions, qualifiers, and subpaths—are consistently percent-encoded, while retaining colons in qualifier values.
Applied consistent package parsing across dependency components and relationships so package details remain aligned throughout reports.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The CycloneDX writer adds a dependency PURL parser and serializer. The parser handles npm PURLs and preserves package-name casing. Component creation and dependency-tree lookups use the shared parser.
Changes: Dependency PURL parsing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
PURL parsing and dependency integration src/fosslight_util/write_cyclonedx.py
Adds PURL serialization and parsing. For npm PURLs, the parser removes a raw version suffix after the first character and decodes namespace and name fields. Component creation and dependency-tree lookups use the shared parser.
CycloneDX exports can fail for a specific npm PURL form or installations using permitted older dependencies. Fix trailing-separator handling and declare a compatible packageurl-python minimum before merging.

Explanation
The title names the two main aspects of the change: preserving purl casing and qualifier encoding in the CycloneDX writer. The summary confirms that the change adds a dependency purl parser that keeps npm package-name casing and percent-encodes serialized fields, which matches the title. The title follows the conventional commit style and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. It is 73 characters, which is within a normal title length. No further change is needed.

Declare packageurl-python>=0.17.6 in pyproject.toml.
_parse_dependency_purl passes normalize_purl=False to PackageURL subclasses. packageurl-python 0.17.5 and earlier does not accept this keyword, so construction raises TypeError for npm PURLs and qualified PURLs. The try block that starts at line 143 catches the error, and the CycloneDX file is not written. pyproject.toml permits older releases through cyclonedx-python-lib>=11.0.0, which requires packageurl-python>=0.11,<2.

Update the dependencies in pyproject.toml to require packageurl-python version
0.17.6 or newer, ensuring the PackageURL subclass construction in
_parse_dependency_purl supports normalize_purl=False.
Add regression tests for the npm and qualified PURL branches in _parse_dependency_purl.
The tests in tests/test_cyclonedx.py use only unqualified pkg:pypi/... PURLs, and no test asserts the purl field. The npm branch (write_cyclonedx.py:96-105) and the qualifier branch (write_cyclonedx.py:106-113) run in no test. A regression in either branch would not fail any test.
Add parametrized cases for:
a versionless scoped npm PURL, such as pkg:npm/%40scope/name
a qualified PURL whose repository_url qualifier is percent-encoded as %2F
Assert the serialized purl in both JSON and XML output. Extend _get_bom_components_and_dependencies to read the purl field so that the XML assertion can use it.

Add regression tests for npm PURLs.
The dependency tests use only PyPI PURLs, so npm casing and scope regressions can pass unnoticed. Add JSON and XML tests that assert the emitted PURLs for mixed-case names and unversioned raw scopes. Include qualifier encoding and dependency lookup assertions.

Keeping npm casing makes sense, since npm has legacy mixed-case names like JSONStream. I ran _parse_dependency_purl against PackageURL.from_string on a few inputs, and a few behaviours seem worth a decision before merge:
Dependency lookup is now case-sensitive. Before, bom.get_component_by_purl(PackageURL.from_string(...)) matched pkg:npm/JSONStream@1.3.5 and pkg:npm/jsonstream@1.3.5 because both normalized to jsonstream. With _DependencyPurl they no longer compare equal. If any analyzer emits the component purl and the relation_tree keys with different casing, register_dependency will now silently drop those edges. Is the casing guaranteed to be identical between file_item.purl and the relation tree, or should the lookup compare a normalized key while the output keeps the original casing?
Qualifier values now get / percent-encoded: vcs_url=git%2Bhttps://github.com/a/b.git becomes vcs_url=git%2Bhttps:%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fa%2Fb.git. packageurl-python leaves / in qualifier values, so the same component now serializes differently from other tools reading or producing the SBOM. Was this intentional? If the goal is only to keep npm casing, delegating everything except name and namespace casing to the library's encoder would keep the rest of the output unchanged.
pkg:npm/a%2Fb@1 now yields name a/b with no namespace, while the library parses it as namespace a, name b. It's an edge case, but it shows the hand-written npm path split diverges from the library.
There are no tests for the new serializer yet. The inputs above (mixed-case name, scoped name, link: version, empty version, qualifier containing / and :, subpath, encoded %2F), plus one relation-tree lookup with differing case, would make a compact parametrized test and pin down whichever behaviour you choose.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
In the scanner-generated data path, the PURL spelling is consistent between components and dependency relations. This has also been verified with a regression test.
