Proposed change

Resolves #5618

Problem

During synchronization, OwaspScraper previously treated any RequestException (timeouts, connection resets, DNS resolution errors) or etree.ParserError the same as an HTTP 404, setting page_tree to None. The sync commands (owasp_scrape_projects, owasp_scrape_chapters, owasp_scrape_committees) immediately called deactivate() whenever page_tree was None, causing healthy entities (such as OWL) to be permanently marked as inactive whenever owasp.org suffered a temporary glitch. Furthermore, non-200 responses (such as HTTP 500/503) were not flagged as failures.

Solution

  • Introduced self.is_request_failed flag on OwaspScraper.
  • Set is_request_failed = True when catching RequestException, encountering non-OK HTTP status codes (excluding 404), or catching etree.ParserError.
  • For genuine HTTP 404 responses, is_request_failed remains False.
  • Updated all three sync commands (projects, chapters, committees) to only call .deactivate() if not scraper.is_request_failed.
  • Added unit tests covering:
    • is_request_failed behavior on connection errors, timeouts, parser errors, HTTP 500, and HTTP 404 in scraper_test.py.
    • Verification that deactivate() is bypassed on transient failures across all three commands (projects, chapters, committees).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented OWASP chapters, committees, and projects from being deactivated when scraping fails due to request, server, timeout, or parsing errors.
    • Preserved deactivation for successfully processed pages that are no longer found.
    • Improved handling of scraper failures while continuing to ignore expected not-found responses.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying correct behavior for successful, not-found, and failed scraping scenarios.

Walkthrough

Changes

OwaspScraper now records request and parsing failures. Chapter, committee, and project scraping commands skip deactivation when a missing page tree results from a failed request. Tests cover success, 404, and failure cases.

OWASP scraper failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scraper failure state
backend/src/apps/owasp/scraper.py, backend/tests/unit/apps/owasp/scraper_test.py
OwaspScraper sets is_request_failed for request, status, timeout, and parser failures. 404 responses leave the flag unset.
Deactivation guards and validation
backend/src/apps/owasp/management/commands/owasp_scrape_*.py, backend/tests/unit/apps/owasp/management/commands/owasp_scrape_*_test.py
Chapter, committee, and project commands deactivate entities only when the page tree is missing and the request did not fail. Tests cover both deactivation and no-deactivation paths.

Transient failures will no longer cause new false deactivations, but previously deactivated OWASP entities remain inactive even after recovery, leaving stale records until reactivation is added.

Explanation

The changes satisfy the false-deactivation objective in issue #5618. OwaspScraper.is_request_failed is set for request, non-OK HTTP, and parser failures. The project command skips deactivate() when that flag is true. Unit tests cover the guard. The command still iterates over Project.active_projects, and no code reactivates an inactive project after a successful scrape. The automated reactivation objective remains unmet.

Add a reactivation path for scraper-deactivated projects.

Project.active_projects filters out inactive projects. After this command calls project.deactivate(), later runs cannot select that project. The successful branch does not restore is_active, so setting the flag there alone is insufficient. Reconcile projects deactivated by this scraper, restore is_active=True after a successful scrape, persist it through Project.bulk_save(), and add a reactivation test.

4 issues found across 8 files

Confidence score: 3/5

  • backend/src/apps/owasp/management/commands/owasp_scrape_projects.py does not reactivate successfully scraped projects before Project.bulk_save(), leaving projects previously disabled after a genuine 404 excluded from Project.active_projects; restore and persist is_active = True after a successful scrape.
  • backend/src/apps/owasp/scraper.py treats every response other than 200 or 404 as transient, rather than only documented 5xx responses, so commands may skip deactivation for non-transient HTTP errors; restrict the failure classification to the intended status codes.
  • backend/tests/unit/apps/owasp/management/commands/owasp_scrape_chapters_test.py does not verify that transient failures are omitted from the Chapter.bulk_save batch, allowing the command’s continue behavior to regress unnoticed; assert the save call receives the expected empty list.
  • backend/tests/unit/apps/owasp/management/commands/owasp_scrape_committees_test.py duplicates the page-tree test while covering a different failure flag, making the deactivation behavior harder to maintain and verify; consolidate or differentiate the cases so both paths are explicit.

Contribution validation failed:

  • commit_signature: One or more commits are not signed.

The scraper previously treated any RequestException (timeouts, connection resets,
DNS failures), non-200 responses, and etree.ParserErrors the same as a genuine
404, leaving page_tree as None or attempting to parse error responses. The sync
commands then called deactivate() on them without distinction.

This introduces an is_request_failed flag on OwaspScraper. The flag is set
on transient/unexpected failures (RequestException, non-OK HTTP status, ParserError),
while a genuine 404 leaves it False. All three sync commands (projects, chapters,
committees) guard deactivate() behind this flag to ensure transient scraper
failures do not permanently flag healthy entities as inactive.

Tests:
- scraper_test: is_request_failed on RequestException, Timeout, ParserError, HTTP 500
- scraper_test: is_request_failed is False on HTTP 404 and HTTP 200
- owasp_scrape_projects_test: deactivate() not called when is_request_failed is True
- owasp_scrape_chapters_test: deactivate() not called when is_request_failed is True
- owasp_scrape_committees_test: deactivate() not called when is_request_failed is True

Include inactive chapters in recovery runs and reactivate recovered pages.

Chapter.active_chapters excludes is_active=False chapters. After this command deactivates a chapter, later runs skip it before Chapter.bulk_save(chapters). Use the unfiltered manager for this scrape and set is_active=True when the page is recovered.

Suggested fix
-        active_chapters = Chapter.active_chapters.order_by("-created_at")
+        active_chapters = Chapter.objects.filter(
+            owasp_repository__is_empty=False,
+        ).order_by("-created_at")
...
             if scraper.page_tree is None:
                 if not scraper.is_request_failed:
                     chapter.deactivate()
                 continue

+            chapter.is_active = True
             chapter.leaders_raw = chapter.get_leaders()

This is a separate chapter command site from the project finding.

Allow recovered committees to be scraped again.

committee.deactivate() persists is_active=False when the page tree is missing. Committee.active_committees then excludes that committee on later runs. A recovered page cannot reach the success path or Committee.bulk_save, so the committee remains inactive and stale.

Select committees through the unfiltered manager and restore is_active before bulk-saving a successfully scraped committee. This correction is separate from the project command finding.

Suggested fix
-        active_committees = Committee.active_committees.order_by("-created_at")
+        active_committees = Committee.objects.order_by("-created_at")
...
             if scraper.page_tree is None:
