This check requires authors to initialize empty or zero builtin types
using the literal syntax (e.g., `{}` instead of `dict()`).
Authors may ignore this requirement for certain builtins using the
`--ignore` option.
Authors may also forbid calling `dict()` with keyword arguments
(`dict(a=1, b=2)`) using the `--no-allow-dict-kwargs` flag.
The previous approach for finding AWS credentials was pretty naive and
only covered contents of a single file (~/.aws/credentials by
default).
The AWS CLI documentation states various other ways to configure
credentials which weren't covered:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/topic/config-vars.html#credentials
Even that aren't all ways, a look into the code shows:
https://github.com/boto/botocore/blob/develop/botocore/credentials.py
This commit changes the behavior so the hook will behave in a way
that if the AWS CLI is able to obtain credentials from local files,
the hook will find them as well.
The changes in detail are:
- detect AWS session tokens and handle them like secret keys.
- always search credentials in the default AWS CLI file locations
( ~/.aws/config, ~/.aws/credentials, /etc/boto.cfg and ~/.boto)
- detect AWS credentials configured via environment variables in
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
- check additional configuration files configured via environment
variables (AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE, AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE and
BOTO_CONFIG)
- print out the first four characters of each secret found in files to
be checked in, to make it easier to figure out, what the secrets
were, which were going to be checked in
- improve error handling for parsing ini-files
- improve tests
There is a major functional change introduced by this commit:
Locations the AWS CLI gets credentials from are always searched and
there is no way to disable them. --credentials-file is still there to
specify one or more additional files to search credentials in. It's
the purpose of this hook to find and check files for found
credentials, so it should work in any case. As this commit also
improves error handling for not-existing or malformed configuration
files, it should be no big deal.
Receiving credentials via the EC2 and ECS meta data services is not
covered intentionally, to not further increase the amount of changes
in this commit and as it's probably an edge case anyway to have this
hook running in such an environment.
This new hook allows to standardize one's JSON files (sorted key/4
spaces indent).
By default it just fails if any file is not complying with the standard,
but you can also pass the arg `--autofix` and the hook will
pretty-format the file itself.
Good in use combined with the `check-json` hook.
