Guardrails / ruby

Ruby dependencies are locked ​

ruby/lockfile-committed@v1

The project commits Gemfile.lock, so an install of the same commit resolves the same gem versions.

Collectors ​

This guardrail doesn't gather anything itself. It relies on the collectors below, which the CLI runs once per build before any check, and reads what they found from GUARDRAIL_FACTS. If a collector collects nothing, this guardrail is skipped, not failed.

CollectorGathersInputs it is given
rubyThe Bundler project in the project directory: the Ruby version it asks for, the gem sources it resolves from, the gems each manifest declares with their groups and origins, and the lock file beside them. The Gemfile is Ruby rather than a declaration, so what it declares conditionally is not seen and scanned says so.projectDir

The inputs above are this guardrail's own inputs, passed straight through to the collector. Setting one in buildnote.json changes what is collected, and two guardrails configured the same way share a single collection.

Configuration ​

How to fix ​

Resolve the gems once and commit the lock file Bundler writes next to the Gemfile:

bash
bundle install
git add Gemfile.lock

A ~> or >= requirement resolves to whatever RubyGems serves that day, so an application without a lock file resolves differently on every deploy, and the gems that shipped are not the gems that were reviewed.

More in ruby ​

  • ruby/no-git-dependencies. No gem the manifests declare is fetched from a git repository instead of a gem source. The Gemfile is Ruby code, not a declaration, so it is read by pattern. A git gem that is found is a real finding, but finding none doesn't prove there are none: a gem added inside a condition, a loop or an eval isn't detected.
  • ruby/single-gem-source. The Gemfile resolves gems from at most one source, and that source is one the repository trusts. The Gemfile is Ruby code, not a declaration, so it is read by pattern. A second source that is found is a real finding, but finding only one doesn't prove there is only one: a source named inside a condition, a loop or an eval isn't detected.
  • ruby/version-declared. The project declares the Ruby version it is built and run against, and that version is no older than the configured floor.
