@bobmcwhirter @jcrossley3 Ok, the downside of this is, that we'd need to move all (or most) tests from the ingestor
module to either the fundamental
module or revive the integration-tests
.
Sorry, I don't understand why the move is required... or even what get_plurals() is.
I think functions like get_vulnerabiltities
… It could also cover get_vulnerability
. However, those functions might be used in our pattern of ingest_foo
returning get_foo
results when those exists.
Sorry, I don't understand why the move is required... or even what get_plurals() is.
The move is required because tests in modules/ingestor
make use of functions like get_vulnerabilities
.
Ok, well if we feel strongly that those fn's should be moved to fundamental
, then their integs should follow. I'm -1 on reviving the integration-tests/
module.
Yah, the downside of removing get_*
is that it makes it difficult to introspect ingestion results in a unit-test-like area.
Putting the tests in fundamental
would work, but would also be somewhat obliquely testing ingestor
.
Which is fine?
It's entirely possible our tests are ill-scoped, maybe some of our integs are better organized as units beneath ingestor/
?

Coming from the school of "if it's hard to test, it's probably wrong", maybe it's correct that the Vulnerability service delegates to the Ingestor for its needed data?
That's kinda where we've been heading with ingest_documents(...)
but it's the inverse really... how can we test the ingestor directly?
If fundamental
is a layer on top of REST API
and graphql, which doesn't use REST API requests although it could (which is the approach used when that's the only API available), gets helpers from lower layers, including existing functions already available in ingestor
. Making those functions available to other modules by providing a common layer makes sense.
