chores(analyzer): Print warning if duplicate packages #9260

bennati · 2024-10-09T07:50:02Z

When duplicate packages or projects are found in the dependency tree, print a warning instead of throwing an exception and inteerrupting the scan. Duplicate packages may arise when the same package is imported twice, in these cases the dependency tree will be completed as the package is imported at least once.

-            "Unable to create the AnalyzerResult as it contains packages and projects with the same ids: " +
-                duplicates.values
+        if (duplicates.isNotEmpty()) {
+            logger.warn {"Unable to create the AnalyzerResult as it contains packages and projects with the same ids: ${duplicates.values}"}


Instead of just logging, I believe an OrtIssue should be created - because the problem can potentially be severe, so there should be no risk of going unnoticed.

However, with the current logic, it may be difficult to implement that, because the problem is detected way after the duplicate IDs got inserted, so undoing the insertion is probably no more possible.

The log message now does not reflect what you're doing: You say an analyzer result cannot be created, but still create one.

Besides the current build errors, I'm actually not sure if we want the change. I currently don't oversee all side effects of allowing duplicate identifiers.

bennati · 2024-10-10T07:18:16Z

I appreciate the need of understanding in detail all side effects of allowing duplicate identifiers.
What this proposal is meant for, is making the user aware of the possibility of these side effects, which can be manually corrected, while allowing the scan to complete in case side effects are unlikely.

In my opinion, the scan should crash only if there is a non-recoverable error. Having ORT produce a notice file with potential errors is still safer than having no notice file.

Besides the current build errors, I'm actually not sure if we want the change. I currently don't oversee all side effects of allowing duplicate identifiers.

I agree, that side-effect are hard to oversee and probably huge. Also I am strongly for keeping identifiers unique.
What in my view would be the only option is not adding duplicate IDs to the result in the first place, and instead add an OrtIssue. This way it is indicated that something is missing while ids remain unique.

When duplicate packages or projects are found in the dependency tree, print a warning instead of throwing an exception and inteerrupting the scan. Duplicate packages may arise when the same package is imported twice, in these cases the dependency tree will be completed as the package is imported at least once.

Is this what you had in mind?

No it isn't. It disregards that:

Duplicates can be across projects / packages.
Removing afterwards probably has a different effect, than skipping over it when attempting to add it in the first place.
Also the scopes are already constructed, which contain reference to projects or packages and which correspond to a
project each.

...but, I also do not see a do-able way how to implement what I had in mind.

bennati · 2024-10-11T09:59:35Z

Ok, let me know if any better solution than this comes to mind which is also feasible and I can try to implement it.
Otherwise let's please merge this one so I can finally generate some notice file for my projects.

fviernau · 2024-10-11T10:21:11Z

I won't have the time to look into this anytime soon.

Otherwise let's please merge this one so I can finally generate some notice file for my projects.

IMO it should not be merged, due to not understood side effects and possible broken referential integrity.

Would you be willing to invest the time / effort to find another solution @bennati ?

bennati · 2024-10-11T12:43:13Z

I can develop a different solution, but first I need someone to explain how the solution should work and the ORT maintainers to commit to merge it once developed.
