From 74f384444bbcb19ee9182bcea3da7881eb5baf14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Yegge Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 19:30:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] test: Add security and error handling tests for lint warnings MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Added comprehensive tests to address gosec and errcheck linter warnings: 1. bd-yxy (P0): Command injection prevention tests for git rm in merge command - Added merge_security_test.go with tests for shell metacharacters - Verified exec.Command safely passes arguments (no shell interpretation) - Added #nosec G204 comment explaining why code is safe 2. bd-nbc (P1): Security tests for file path validation in clean command - Added clean_security_test.go with path traversal tests - Verified filepath.Join safely constructs paths within .beads directory - Added #nosec G304 comment documenting safety guarantees 3. bd-lln (P2): Tests for performFlush error handling in FlushManager - Added tests documenting that performFlush intentionally returns nil - Errors are handled internally by flushToJSONLWithState - Tests verify graceful degradation when store is inactive 4. bd-gra (P2): Error handling test for cmd.Help() in search command - Added search_test.go documenting Help() error handling - Help() errors intentionally ignored (already in error path, will exit anyway) - Added #nosec G104 comment explaining rationale All new tests pass. The linter warnings are false positives or intentional design decisions, now documented with tests and #nosec comments. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- cmd/bd/clean.go | 3 + cmd/bd/clean_security_test.go | 296 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ cmd/bd/flush_manager_test.go | 72 +++++++++ cmd/bd/merge.go | 3 + cmd/bd/merge_security_test.go | 215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ cmd/bd/search.go | 3 + cmd/bd/search_test.go | 160 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 752 insertions(+) create mode 100644 cmd/bd/clean_security_test.go create mode 100644 cmd/bd/merge_security_test.go create mode 100644 cmd/bd/search_test.go diff --git a/cmd/bd/clean.go b/cmd/bd/clean.go index f7bfc18b..2adcafca 100644 --- a/cmd/bd/clean.go +++ b/cmd/bd/clean.go @@ -115,6 +115,9 @@ Preview what would be deleted: // patterns from the "Merge artifacts" section func readMergeArtifactPatterns(beadsDir string) ([]string, error) { gitignorePath := filepath.Join(beadsDir, ".gitignore") + // #nosec G304 -- gitignorePath is safely constructed via filepath.Join from beadsDir + // (which comes from findBeadsDir searching upward for .beads).
