Summary

  • Download https://chromium.googlesource.com/{repo}/+/{revision}/{path} as a Gitiles +archive tarball of that subdirectory.
  • If the archive download or extract fails, and the failure is not a size limit or timeout, clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/{repo} at that revision.
  • Record the post-redirect URL in the download result link. Git clone still records the repository URL. A failed download still records an empty link.

Test plan

  • PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m pytest tests/test_chromium_gitiles.py tests/test_download_version_hint.py
  • Download https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/tags/114.0.5735.358/third_party/boringssl/ and confirm the result link is the +archive URL (or its redirect), not a full chromium/src clone.
  • Force the archive request to fail and confirm the fallback clones https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src at 114.0.5735.358.
  • Confirm an android.googlesource.com URL is not rewritten.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Downloads from Chromium Gitiles links that point to repository subdirectories, including links to specific revisions.
    • When an archive download fails for reasons other than exceeding the size limit, the download can fall back to retrieving the repository at the requested revision.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Download links now reflect the final URL after redirects, and failed HTTP or wget downloads are reported consistently.

Chromium Gitiles subdirectory URLs are fetched as +archive tarballs,
and the repository is cloned only when that archive fails. The result
link records the URL that delivered the file after redirects.

Walkthrough

The download code now parses supported Chromium Gitiles subdirectory URLs and tries their generated archives before cloning. HTTP and wget downloads also return resolved URLs, which download_wget records when available.

Changes: Chromium Gitiles downloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolved URL tracking
src/fosslight_util/download.py, tests/test_chromium_gitiles.py
HTTP and wget downloads return the local path and final URL on success, or (None, "") on failure. download_wget uses the resolved URL when available. A test checks that it returns a redirected CDN URL.
Gitiles archive and clone flow
src/fosslight_util/download.py, tests/test_chromium_gitiles.py
The code parses supported Gitiles subdirectory URLs into repository, archive, and checkout-ref values. It tries the archive first, then clones the repository after archive failure unless a size-limit failure occurred. Tests cover parsing, rejection cases, archive success, and clone fallback.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Critical · previous review 462ae

Do not merge yet: a failed archive attempt can permanently delete existing files in the destination, including the default working directory. Downloads can also silently return the wrong revision. Preserve existing files and correct revision selection before merging.

The revision in a Chromium Gitiles path is oss_version, and
clarified_version is derived from that string. A later repository
clone does not replace it.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add refs/branch-heads to the Gitiles archive path.

Chromium Gitiles subdirectory URLs under refs/branch-heads/<number> skip the archive path and fall back to the general download. That flow cannot fetch the +archive tarball, so the download fails. _split_gitiles_revision accepts only refs/tags, refs/heads, and refs/remotes. Also map branch-heads in _gitiles_checkout_ref so the clone fallback uses a valid ref.

Add a Gitiles test for a failed archive extraction.

When extract_compressed_file returns False for a Gitiles archive, the code removes the downloaded archive, empties target_dir, and falls back to download_git_clone. No test covers this path. The success test stubs extraction to return True. The existing failure test stops at the archive download, before extraction runs.

Add a test that:

  • Makes the archive download succeed.
  • Makes extract_compressed_file write a partial file into target_dir and return False.
  • Asserts that the partial file created by this attempt is gone before the clone runs.
  • Asserts that download_git_clone runs with the parsed repository URL, revision, and target directory.

Do not assert that pre-existing contents of target_dir are deleted. Scope the cleanup assertions to files that this attempt creates.

Add a test for the Gitiles archive size-limit abort.

cli_download_and_extract skips the clone fallback when the archive fails with a size-limit message. No existing test covers this path. The existing archive-failure test returns "archive failed", which does not match a size-limit marker. That test passes whether or not the guard exists. The suggested test returns a size-limit message from download_wget and asserts that download_git_clone is not called.

Add tests for final-URL capture in the HTTP and wget producers.

The redirect test replaces download_file with a fake. The code that captures the final URL does not run in that test. No test calls _download_file_once or _final_url_from_wget_stderr, and no test asserts the recorded link from a real producer. A change that returns the input URL, or breaks the URL: parsing, would still pass the suite. The result link depends on this URL.

Suggested coverage:

  • Patch requests.head and requests.get with distinct input and redirected URLs. Give each fake response a url attribute. Make the fake GET response support the context-manager protocol, because _download_file_once uses with requests.get(...) as r:. Assert that download_file returns the redirected URL. Reuse the requests.head fake pattern from tests/test_download_timeout.py:208-211.
  • Call _final_url_from_wget_stderr with stderr that contains two URL: lines. Assert that it returns the last URL.

Review comments at @src/fosslight_util/download.py:
- Line 1520: Update the saved_url assignment that uses
_final_url_from_wget_stderr so it records only the URL parsed from wget stderr;
when no URL is parsed, leave the delivered URL unknown rather than falling back
to head_url or url.
- Line 516: Update the Gitiles archive extraction call to pass True for
compressed_only, ensuring non-archive responses are rejected so the existing
clone fallback can run instead of retaining an error document.
- Around line 540-545: Update the Gitiles revision handling in
download_git_repository so a pinned commit never falls through to a
default-branch clone after archive or checkout failure. Fetch the requested
commit explicitly, or return failure if that cannot be done; preserve existing
success behavior for other revision types.
- Around line 518-520: On the archive-success path, set oss_version from
checkout_ref when oss_version has not already been found, so the parsed Gitiles
revision is retained as version metadata. Leave existing version values and the
clone fallback behavior unchanged.
- Around line 518-520: In the Gitiles archive branch, check the download
deadline with _raise_if_download_timed_out() after extraction succeeds and
before setting downloaded_link or success. Preserve the existing behavior for
archives that remain within the deadline.
- Line 539: Update the Gitiles archive failure cleanup using _empty_download_dir
so it preserves entries that existed in target_dir before the archive download
began. Snapshot those entries before attempting the download, then remove only
entries created afterward when archive download or extraction fails, while
keeping cleanup behavior for newly created entries.
- Around line 505-506: Resolve a single effective revision for Chromium Gitiles
subdirectory links before the archive and clone paths diverge; apply any ;tag=
or ;branch= override when constructing the archive URL, and reuse that revision
for the clone fallback so both paths target the same revision.
- Line 401: Update the Gitiles clone fallback using `_gitiles_checkout_ref` so
URLs under `refs/tags/` select the requested tag explicitly rather than passing
its bare name to `git clone --branch`; ensure a same-named branch cannot be
used, while preserving existing branch handling.
- Around line 552-553: In the Gitiles fallback failure branch, update
`size_limit_blocked` based on whether `msg` indicates a size-limit block, so the
final response uses the plain size-limit message when appropriate; preserve the
existing `success` handling and other failure responses.
- Around line 384-387: Update _split_gitiles_revision and the checkout-ref
resolution used by the archive fallback so the requested branch or tag is
matched against the remote’s full ref names, rather than truncated to the first
segment; preserve the remaining path as the subpath and ensure fallback cloning
uses the resolved full ref.

Keep the Chromium Gitiles archive path and the checkout retry loop
from main. The result link is still the URL after redirects.
Use the URL revision for both the archive and the clone, fetch tags
and commits explicitly, and leave files that were already in the
target directory.
After a Chromium Gitiles archive miss, try the version in the link,
then -c, then the default branch. A default-branch clone leaves the
version fields empty.
