The HTML autotrim feature was incorrectly computing common prefixes that could end in the middle of directory names, causing partial directory names to be stripped from file paths.
Problem
When multiple SARIF results had file paths with similar prefixes that didn't align with directory boundaries, the autotrim logic would compute a common prefix that cut through directory names. For example:
Input paths:
Before fix: Common prefix computed as
tools/bin/Redacte, resulting in broken output:After fix: Common prefix computed as
tools/bin/, resulting in correct output:Solution
Modified the
init_path_prefix_strippingmethod insarif_file.pyto ensure that computed common prefixes always end at directory boundaries (slashes). The fix:Testing
Added comprehensive tests covering:
All existing tests continue to pass, ensuring no regressions.
Fixes #85.
