RE: [sarif] Embedding native log file contents in a SARIF log

I gave some more thought to the “original log file embedding proposal”, and I added another comment to Issue #66 with some changes. Please take a look at the new comment to see the rationale for the changes.

 

Thanks!

Subject: [sarif] Embedding native log file contents in a SARIF log

 

Hello,

 

We have an open issue #66, “Consider embddedOriginalLogSnippet/other features that locate source issue in a converted file”. We want to allow a SARIF converter to embed, within a SARIF result object, the source text from the original tool output file that was the source of the converted SARIF file. The idea is to help a developer who is writing a SARIF converter compare the original log file to the converted SARIF log file. We don’t anticipate any tooling that would process the embedded source text automatically.

 

I just added a comment to the GitHub issue. Please take a look and provide any feedback. I’ll add this item to the agenda for the next TC meeting on January 10th.

 

Thanks,

Larry
