Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Check individual airspace files or recursively scan directories, with clear results for invalid files and directories containing no .txt files.
    • URL checks validate that airspace text links contain OpenAir data, not just that the links respond. Access-blocked links are reported separately from failed links.
    • Airspace files using UTF-8 or Latin-1 encoding can be checked.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Checks identify invalid airspace content, including error pages returned in place of airspace data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add helpers to count and parse OpenAir content, then use them in URL and local-file checkers. The URL checker reads manifest records and separates blocked responses from failures. The local checker recursively processes text files and reports empty directories.

Changes

OpenAir Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
OpenAir content checks
requirements.txt, script/lib/openair_content.py, tests/test_openair_content.py
New helpers count airspace blocks, parse airspaces, describe results, and apply lenient or strict validation. Tests cover valid, empty, malformed, and mixed-coordinate content. The requirements add a pinned python-dateutil dependency.
Manifest URL checks
script/check/check_urls.py, tests/test_check_urls.py
The checker reads manifest records and checks URLs with a shared session. It uses HEAD for non-airspace text records and fetches and validates airspace text files. Blocked statuses are reported separately from failures. Tests cover record parsing, airspace text detection, content validation, and blocked statuses.
Local airspace file checks
script/check/check_airspaces.py, tests/test_check_airspaces.py
The command-line checker expands directories recursively, reads and decodes files, and reports validation results with an exit status. Tests cover file expansion and exit statuses.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9c724

The local airspace checks have tests for the intended success and failure paths. No outstanding issue identified here prevents merging after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c724

Remote files can now consume unbounded download and parsing resources, and a refused request can leave the check successful without verifying the file. The impact depends on how the checker is run and whether its exit status gates other work.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: An externally controlled airspace response is downloaded and parsed without an evident body-size or parsing-work limit. A sufficiently large response could exhaust resources in a checker run; the 120-second request timeout does not bound response size.
  • Low · security · inferred: A manifest URL returning 403, 429, or 451 is not verified but no longer makes the checker fail. A consumer relying only on its exit status could accept an unavailable or invalid resource.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A remote host controlling a selected manifest URI controls the response body consumed by this checker. The evidenced impact is to a checker run and its result; whether that result gates publication or runs with additional privileges is unknown.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A selected remote URI can answer GET with a very large HTTP-200 body. The checker consumes its content and passes it to validation without an evident size cap, creating a resource-exhaustion path absent from the base HEAD-only check.
  • inferred — A host returning a designated blocked status avoids content verification while the check can still exit successfully. The blocked list remains visible in command output, but a status-only consumer would not distinguish it from full success.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new content check rejects a HTTP-200 body with no parsed airspace. Requests have explicit timeouts, and request exceptions fail the affected URL; neither mechanism establishes a response-size limit.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bound downloaded bytes and parsing work for remote airspace text, and make an indeterminate blocked result distinguishable from verified success to any exit-status consumer.

This is a quality check. It should fail when someone submits broken files.
Yes XCSoar may be tolerant in some cases (and it shouldn't be.) But it also may do things with this data that isn't intended. Clean files are the happy path and the best tested path, therefore this should bark at anything that isn't properly done.

The point is to get people to fix their data.

Review on XCSoar#561: the point of a quality check is to get people to fix their
data, and XCSoar being tolerant is not a reason to be.

That holds without reservation for the files in data/content, which are ours
to repair.  A single damaged record costs the airspace it belongs to and
costs the whole file its bbox, since repository.py derives that from the same
parser, so tolerating one buys nothing.  check_airspaces.py now requires a
clean parse.

It does not hold for files reached over a URI.  A third-party source with a
damaged record cannot be fixed here, and failing the run over it would leave
the check permanently red on somebody else's file; BR, CA and JP each carry
such records today.  check_urls.py therefore keeps the lenient test, which
still catches the case that matters there -- a URI that has started serving
an error page instead of airspace.

The two policies are named rather than implied: is_clean_openair() for what
we ship, looks_like_openair() for what we link to.

Every file in data/content passes the strict test once XCSoar#567 lands; before it,
CA-ASP-National, MW-ASP-National and DE-ASP-HahnweideComp2017 fail it, which
is the point.

You're right, and the specification backs you up — I checked instead of arguing from XCSoar's behaviour.

Do not mix DMS and DDM notations. Stick to one definition throughout the file.

So ZA-ASP-Powerlines-XCSoar.txt, the file that prompted the structural check, was malformed. XCSoar reads it only because ReadNonNegativeAngle() parses each coordinate independently and takes minutes as a double — an extension, not a guarantee. Your point about silently dropped airspace is exactly the failure mode that hides behind that.

I have done it your way throughout, and fixed the data rather than the check.

The check. aerofiles decides again, and for files we ship it now fails on any parse error, not merely on a file that yields no airspace. The two policies are named rather than implied: is_clean_openair() for data/content, looks_like_openair() for URIs. The lenient test survives only on URIs because a damaged record in somebody else's file cannot be repaired here — BR, CA and JP each carry such records today — and failing over them would leave the check permanently red on something we cannot act on. It still catches what matters there: a URI that has started serving an error page instead of airspace.

What survives from the detour is reporting, never a verdict:

pass 288 airspaces
FAIL 1500 airspace blocks, aerofiles read 1481 (19 parse errors, no bbox)

That names the file, the scale and the consequence. The commit and its reversal are squashed out of the history.

The data. Every airspace file in the repository now parses without a single error.

1481 → 1500, 16 → 17, 477 → 478 airspaces. No coordinate moves: every repaired line was compared against its original and the worst difference across all 21 is zero. The MW one was the least obvious — a ; does not merely fail as a comment, it terminates the airspace defined above it.

The waypoints, where I had made the same mistake. #566 fixes 23 field defects across three files: 17 rows in GLB-WPT-ProvingGrounds with the description written into the frequency column as well as its own — one of them recoverable, "122,475" being a real frequency written with a comma — 5 rows in CZ-WPT-WaveCamp holding "---.---", and one row in ZA_Cape holding NoneNone where the elevation belongs. All three waypoint sections now parse: 482, 168 and 523 waypoints, matching their source rows exactly.

Two of the three are still rejected, and this time it is the reader rather than the data: aerofiles raises on the observation zone keys SpeedStyle and MaxAlt. Filed upstream as Turbo87/aerofiles#372, together with a second defect found while writing that up — Line=0, Move=0 and Reduce=0 raise as well, although the library models those keys, because the guard reads field_type == 'Line' and field_entry == "1" and a value of 0 falls through into the same raise.

Merge order. #567 before #564, or the CI wiring turns main.yml red on the three files it repairs. And #564 cannot make its waypoint check fail rather than report until Turbo87/aerofiles#372 is resolved, since two files would then block on something that is no longer wrong with them.

iter_airspace_files() passed over a directory with no *.txt, so a run that
was given a readable file alongside such a directory reported success without
ever saying it had checked nothing from it.

That matters because check.sh hands this the whole airspace tree.  A build
that stopped producing airspace, or an output layout that moved, would look
exactly like a clean run.  Only the case of no arguments producing nothing at
all was caught, and that is not the case that will happen.

Empty directories are now reported per argument and fail the run:

  FAIL no *.txt in directory	output/content/airspace

Reported by CodeRabbit on XCSoar#561.  The function had no tests; it has six now,
covering nested expansion, an empty directory beside a good file, a bare file
argument, and no arguments at all.

Add an invalid-file exit-status test to MainTest.

The direct is_clean_openair tests do not exercise main. A regression that ignores check_file failures could return 0 for a malformed .txt file while the current main tests still pass.

1.5.6 carries two fixes this repository needs.

Its CUP reader no longer discards a whole file over an observation zone key
it does not model, which is what rejected CZ-WPT-WaveCamp-2022-OBv1.cup and
GLB-WPT-ProvingGrounds-XCSoar.cup: both are written by SeeYou and carry
SpeedStyle and MaxAlt in their task sections.  Both parse under 1.5.6.

It also rejects a runway direction outside 0 to 360 degrees, the field being
a heading rather than a runway designator.  That catches the two impossible
values in FR-WPT-National-XCSoar.cup, 3000 and 2200, repaired separately.

Note that aerofiles still imports dateutil without declaring it as a
dependency, so it remains an undeclared requirement here; XCSoar#561 adds the pin.

Exercise main() with clean and damaged airspaces in one file.

test_a_file_that_is_not_airspace_fails() uses TYPO3_ERROR_BODY, and looks_like_openair(TYPO3_ERROR_BODY) is already false. If check_file() changes to the lenient looks_like_openair() check, the current MainTest cases still pass. The related test covers this mixed input only through the helper functions, not through main().

Comment thread tests/test_check_airspaces.py
aerofiles 1.5.5 imports dateutil but declares no dependencies of its own,
so pip install -r requirements.txt does not bring it in.  Every script
that parses OpenAir has been working only because the GitHub runner image
happens to ship python-dateutil; the same commands fail on a clean
checkout.
check_airspaces.py could never have run: aerofiles' Reader takes the file
as a required constructor argument, so the script raised TypeError before
opening anything, whatever it was passed.  check.sh also hands it a
directory rather than a file, and check.sh itself is wired into no
workflow, so nothing has been checking airspace content.

Take files or directories, and report per file instead of throwing on the
first problem.  Read bytes and fall back to latin-1, because the published
set is not all UTF-8: NL-ASP-National-XCSoar.txt is ISO-8859-1 and cannot
be decoded as UTF-8 at all.

The decision of what counts as airspace moves to script/lib so that the
URI check can reach the same verdict.  One parsed airspace is the minimum,
because a single-area file is legitimate --
DE-ASP-Military-Low-Flying.txt holds exactly one -- while anything serving
an error page parses as none.
A HEAD request only proves that something answered.  An airspace URI that
starts serving an error page still passes it, and the file reaches the
pilot describing nothing: daec.de answers a missing file with HTTP 200 and
a 54 byte error body rather than a 404, and aip.net.nz answers 200 with an
Incapsula block page.  Entries of type airspace pointing at a .txt are now
downloaded and parsed; everything else keeps the cheap HEAD.

Knowing an entry's type means reading whole manifest records rather than
bare uri= lines, so the manifest is parsed into records.

Hosts that refuse the client are reported apart from failures.
gliding.co.nz answers 403 to every path including / and /robots.txt from a
data centre, and a Cloudflare challenge to anything without a browser, so
a runner cannot tell a blocked file from a removed one.  Failing on that
would leave the check permanently red over a file pilots download without
trouble, so 403, 429 and 451 are listed separately and 404 and 500 still
fail.

Also accept a local path, which is how check.sh has always invoked this
and which raised MissingSchema every time: get_urls_from_file() existed
but was never called.
A bare pass or fail does not say what to look at.  Counting "AC" lines
without parsing gives the size of the file, so the log can contrast it with
what aerofiles actually reached: "4 airspace blocks, aerofiles read 0
(10 parse errors, no bbox)" names the file, the scale of the problem, and
the consequence.  Clean files stay on the short form, "288 airspaces".

The verdict itself stays with aerofiles.  XCSoar accepts more than the format
allows -- a lowercase hemisphere, and degrees/minutes/seconds beside decimal
minutes, which the specification forbids outright ("Do not mix DMS and DDM
notations.  Stick to one definition throughout the file.") -- and passing a
file because XCSoar copes would hide the defect rather than get it fixed.
Review on XCSoar#561: the point of a quality check is to get people to fix their
data, and XCSoar being tolerant is not a reason to be.

That holds without reservation for the files in data/content, which are ours
to repair.  A single damaged record costs the airspace it belongs to and
costs the whole file its bbox, since repository.py derives that from the same
parser, so tolerating one buys nothing.  check_airspaces.py now requires a
clean parse.

It does not hold for files reached over a URI.  A third-party source with a
damaged record cannot be fixed here, and failing the run over it would leave
the check permanently red on somebody else's file; BR, CA and JP each carry
such records today.  check_urls.py therefore keeps the lenient test, which
still catches the case that matters there -- a URI that has started serving
an error page instead of airspace.

The two policies are named rather than implied: is_clean_openair() for what
we ship, looks_like_openair() for what we link to.

Every file in data/content passes the strict test once XCSoar#567 lands; before it,
CA-ASP-National, MW-ASP-National and DE-ASP-HahnweideComp2017 fail it, which
is the point.
iter_airspace_files() passed over a directory with no *.txt, so a run that
was given a readable file alongside such a directory reported success without
ever saying it had checked nothing from it.

That matters because check.sh hands this the whole airspace tree.  A build
that stopped producing airspace, or an output layout that moved, would look
exactly like a clean run.  Only the case of no arguments producing nothing at
all was caught, and that is not the case that will happen.

Empty directories are now reported per argument and fail the run:

  FAIL no *.txt in directory	output/content/airspace

Reported by CodeRabbit on XCSoar#561.  The function had no tests; it has six now,
covering nested expansion, an empty directory beside a good file, a bare file
argument, and no arguments at all.
Both checks had tests for how they read their input and none for what
they do with a verdict once they have one.

check_airspaces.py: every MainTest case exercised the argument
expansion, so main() could have collected check_file() failures and
then dropped them while the file stayed green.  One malformed file now
goes through main() and its exit status is asserted -- the body is the
TYPO3 error text the DAeC server really served in place of airspace.

check_urls.py: nothing called check_urls() at all.  looks_like_openair()
was tested directly in test_openair_content.py, but not the path that
reaches it, so a regression that skipped the content check, or ran it
and disregarded the answer, would have reported an HTML error page as
PASS with every test passing.  The new case answers 200 with a 404 page
and asserts the URL is reported failed and not merely blocked; its
counterpart answers 200 with real airspace, without which a check that
failed everything would satisfy the first.

Verified by breaking each path on purpose: dropping the failure from
main() fails only the first new test, and skipping looks_like_openair()
in check_record() fails only the second.  36 tests pass.
The file this repository ships has to parse without a single error, which
is a stricter promise than "holds some airspace", and it is the reason
check_airspaces.py calls is_clean_openair() where check_urls.py calls
looks_like_openair().  Nothing held it to that: the failure cases went
through main() with bodies carrying no airspace at all, which the lenient
test rejects just as readily.

Swapping check_file() to looks_like_openair() therefore left all 36 tests
passing.  A file that satisfies the lenient test and fails the strict one
closes that: real airspace followed by a record mixing coordinate
notations, the defect this check was written to catch.  With it, that swap
fails exactly one test.

Ready for another look — nothing outstanding on my side.

Rebased onto master, so the three data repairs this depends on (#566, #568,
#569) are all in place and the stack is gone. Four checks green, 37 tests.
The rebase renumbered every commit, so CodeRabbit's older references point at
SHAs that are no longer here.

CodeRabbit raised findings since your last look, all addressed and each
verified by breaking the code on purpose:

  • an empty directory could mask a build that stopped producing airspace —
    4722189 (was a48d3a7 before the rebase)
  • main() collected check_file() verdicts and nothing tested that they
    reached the exit status — 4f5de0f
  • nothing called check_urls() at all, so a skipped content check would have
    reported an HTML error page as PASS — 4f5de0f
  • check_file() could be downgraded from is_clean_openair() to
    looks_like_openair() with all 36 tests still passing — 9c7242b

The last one was the sharpest, and it was a hole in my own test: the body I
used carried no airspace at all, which the lenient check rejects just as
readily, so the strict parse this script exists for was never held to
account. It now is — a file with real airspace followed by a record mixing
coordinate notations satisfies looks_like_openair() and fails
is_clean_openair().

One question I left open in #566 and would still like your call on:
calculate_bbox_airspace_from_content() reads what a remote server just sent
rather than a file we ship, so aborting the build for a truncated response
makes the nightly run depend on somebody else's uptime. Your argument that a
bbox-less entry never reaches the pilot applies either way — say the word and
it goes strict with the others.
