bandit

A tool for finding security issues in Python code (https://bandit.readthedocs.io).

Backend: pants.backend.python.lint.bandit

Config section: [bandit]

Basic options​

args​

--bandit-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_BANDIT_ARGS
pants.toml
[bandit]
args = [
    <shell_str>,
    <shell_str>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to Bandit, e.g. --bandit-args="--skip B101,B308 --confidence"

skip​

--[no-]bandit-skip
PANTS_BANDIT_SKIP
pants.toml
[bandit]
skip = <bool>
default: False

Don't use Bandit when running /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants lint

Advanced options​

config​

--bandit-config=<file_option>
PANTS_BANDIT_CONFIG
pants.toml
[bandit]
config = <file_option>
default: None

Path to a Bandit YAML config file (https://bandit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html).

console_script​

--bandit-console-script=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
pants.toml
[bandit]
console_script = <str>
default: bandit

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

entry_point​

--bandit-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_ENTRY_POINT
pants.toml
[bandit]
entry_point = <str>
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

extra_requirements​

--bandit-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_BANDIT_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[bandit]
extra_requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "setuptools",
  "GitPython==3.1.18"
]

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

lockfile​

--bandit-lockfile=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_LOCKFILE
pants.toml
[bandit]
lockfile = <str>
default: <default>

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.

Set to the string <default> to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the --version and --extra-requirements options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.10.1/src/python/pants/backend/python/lint/bandit/lockfile.txt for the default lockfile contents.

Set to the string <none> to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds.

To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run ./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=bandit.

Lockfile generation currently does not wire up the [python-repos] options. If lockfile generation fails, you can manually generate a lockfile, such as by using pip-compile or pip freeze. Set this option to the path to your manually generated lockfile. When manually maintaining lockfiles, set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore'.

version​

--bandit-version=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_VERSION
pants.toml
[bandit]
version = <str>
default: bandit>=1.7.0,<1.8

Requirement string for the tool.

Deprecated options​

None
