I have the following two challanges:
I'd like to assert that the filename of an xml file is always equal to a certain string in the file itself
I'd like to assert that in every folder called 'Foo' is a file called 'bar.xml'
How can I do this with sonar? Is there already a plugin for this available?
There's no plugin for that, you will have to write your own.
To do the first point, you can write a sensor that parses the XML files to find if the name of the files exists in the file itself, this should not be complicated.
For the second point, you would have to write a sensor that is executed only on folders.
You can check the "Extension Guide" documentation to find code samples on how to do that.

I want to ignore test files in codeql result.
but this query includes test files.
import codeql.ruby.AST
from RegExpLiteral t, File f
where not f.getBaseName().regexpMatch("spec")
select t
ignore test files in the result
regexpMatch requires that the given pattern matches the entire receiver. In your case that means it would only succeed if the file name is exactly "spec". Maybe you rather want to test for ".*spec.*" (or use matches("%spec%")).
I am not sure though if that answers your question. As far as I know there is in general no direct way to ignore test sources. You could however do one of the following things:
Exclude the test directory when building the CodeQL database; for GitHub code scanning see the documentation
For GitHub code scanning filter out non-application code alerts in the repository alerts list (see documentation)
Manually add conditions to your query which exclude tests, for example a file name check as you have done or checking the code for certain test-related constructs
Are there any rules for file extensions? For example, I wrote some code which reads and writes a byte pattern that is only understood by that specific programm. I'm assuming my anti virus programm won't be too happy if I give it the name "pleasetrustme.exe"... Is it gerally allowed to use those extensions? And what about the lesser known ones, like ".arw"?
You can use any file extension you want (or none at all). Using standard extensions that reflect the actual type of the file just makes things more convenient. On Windows, file extensions control stuff like how the files are displayed in Windows Explorer and what happens when you double click on it.
I wrote some code which reads and writes a byte pattern that is only
understood by that specific programm.
A file extension is only an indication of what type of data will be inside, never a guarantee that certain data formatted in a specific way will be inside the file.
For your own specific data structure it is of course always best to choose an extension that is not already in use for other file formats (or use a general extension like .dat or .bin maybe). This also has the advantage of being able to use an own icon without it being overwritten by other software using the same extension - or the other way around.
But maybe even more important when creating a custom (binary?) file format, is to provide a magic number as the first bytes of that file, maybe followed by a file header structure containing a version number etc. That way your own software can first check the header data to make sure it's the right type and version (for example: anyone could rename any file type to your extension, so your program needs to have a way to do some checks inside the file before reading the remaining data).
As I learned from DevGuide testing ReSharper plugins works as follows:
Plugin is loaded and test input file is passed to it
Plugin performs it's actions on the passed file
ReSharper's test environment writes plugin actions results to .tmp file in a special format that depends on the type of functionality tested (for example, if we test completion, .tmp file will contain the list of generated completion items)
ReSharper's test environment compares .tmp file with .gold file to decide if test is failed or succeeded
But I need the following scenario. The first two steps are the same as the above ones, then:
I write code that obtains the results of plugin's actions and check are they what I'm expected so I can make test fail if needed
How can I achieve this?
I need it because I have a code that uses AST generated by ReSharper to build some graphs and I want to test are the graphs built correctly.
Yes, you can do this. You need to create your own test base class, instead of using one of the provided ones.
There is a hierarchy of base classes, each adding extra functionality. Usually, you'll derive from something like QuickFixAvailabilityTestBase or QuickFixTestBase, which add the functionality for testing quick fixes. These are the classes that will do something and write the output to a .tmp file that is then compared to the .gold file.
These classes themselves derive from something like BaseTestWithSingleProject, which provides the functionality to setup an in-memory solution and project that's populated with files you specify in your test, or BaseTestWithTextControl which also gives you a text control for the file you're testing. If you derive from this class directly (or with your own custom base class), you can perform the action you need for the actual test, and either assert something in memory, or write the appropriate text to the .tmp file to compare against the .gold.
You should override the DoTest method. This will give you an IProject that is already set up, and you can do whatever you need to in order to test your extension's functionality. You can use project.Solution.GetComponent<> to get at any shell or solution component, and use the ExecuteWithGold method to execute something, write to the .tmp file and have ReSharper compare to the .gold file for you.
Can you include expressions in the "Output Files" section of a build rule in Xcode? Eg:
$(DERIVED_FILE_DIR)$(echo "/dynamic/dir")/$(INPUT_FILE_BASE).m
Specifically, when translating Java files with j2objc, the resulting files are saved in subfolders, based on the java packages (eg. $(DERIVED_FILE_DIR)/com/google/Class.[hm]). This is without using --no-package-directories, which I can't use because of duplicate file names in different packages.
The issue is in Output Files, because Xcode doesn't know how to search for the output file at the correct location. The default location is $(DERIVED_FILE_DIR)/$(INPUT_FILE_BASE).m, but I need to perform a string substitution to insert the correct path. However any expression added as $(expression) gets ignored, as it was never there.
I also tried to export a variable from the custom script and use it in Output Files, but that doesn't work either because the Output Files are transformed into SCRIPT_OUTPUT_FILE_X before the custom script is ran.
Unfortunately, Xcode's build support is pretty primitive (compared to say, make, which is third-odd years older :-). One option to try is splitting the Java source, so that the two classes with the same names are in different sub-projects. If you then use different prefixes for each sub-project, the names will be disambiguated.
A more fragile, but maybe simpler approach is to define a separate rule for the one of the two classes, so that it can have a unique prefix assigned. Then add an early build phase to translate it before any other Java classes, so the rules don't overlap.
For me, the second alternative does work (Xcode 7.3.x) - to a point.
My rule is not for Java, but rather for Google Protobuf, and I tried to maintain the same hierarchy (like your Java package hierarchy) in the generated code as in the source .proto files. Indeed files (.pb.cc and .pb.h) were created as expected, with their hierarchies, inside the Build/Intermediates/myProject.build/Debug/DerivedSources directory.
However, Xcode usually knows to continue and compile the generated output into the current target - but that breaks as it only looks for files in the actual ${DERIVED_FILE} - not within sub-directories underneath.
Could you please explain better "Output Files are transformed into SCRIPT_OUTPUT_FILE_X" ? I do not understand.
I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to get prolog to spit out a text file where I want it to. I'm currently doing a bunch of operations and then using
tell('output.txt')
to record the output. Now the problem is that when I do this, it creates this file in the SWI \bin\ folder. I was wondering if there's a way to make it create this file in the directory containing the actual .pl file. So even if the file was moved (and it will be), the text file gets created right where the source file is.
Long story short, is there a way to get the location of the source file once the source file has been consulted?
Many Thanks!
You can get the names of all the loaded files using source_file/1.
From the SWI-Prolog manual:
source_file(?File)
True if File is a loaded Prolog source file. File is the absolute and
canonical path to the source-file.
