We have recently added call graph documentation for all Go code. See Appendix A in the user manual. Also, you will find a table of package names and their descriptions. Call graphs were created by go-calvis. Instructions for using go-callvis are here. This is an excellent way to become more familiar with the code. From the ./csa-app directory simply enter go-callvis csa.go . This will bring up an interactive code exploration tool.

We are becoming more formal in our tracking of backlog with increased usage driving feature requests. You'll find our official backlog detailed in our Roadmap

To summarize, here's what is in progress:

1. Rules that look for the absence of a pattern
2. Allowing multiple instances of file patterns

csa has pre-built binaries for Windows, OSX, and Linux. The quickest way to get starting using csa is to download the latest release. Included with the release is the latest user manual in pdf format. A sample portfolio of applications is also included.

No install is required. Simply download the version that matches your operating system and move the executable to the directory of your choice. It's best to put the directory in your path to simplify running csa. Everything you need to use csa is inside this single executable.

To see all the options to run, simply type:

csa -h

For more detailed help instructions:

csa --help-long

To simplify usage, csa has a default mode of analyze, since that is it most frequently used. Typically, you point csa to a directory that contains sub-directories, each containing one application. csa considers this directory of sub-directories a portfilio. To tell csa to process the directory as a portfolio of applications, we use the-p flag on the command-line

csa -p <directory of application code>

csa will process all the subdirectories as applications and write the results to the console. Look in the directory where csa was copied to and you'll see a file, csa.db. This is a SQLite database full of it findings.

To see the results of the analysis, you'll need to call csa one more time and launch the browser-based user interface:

csa ui

csa will take you directly to your browser and activate the user interface.

If you want to contribute to csa, you'll need to build it.

• Golang - Installation instructions are here

• Docker - Instructions for Get Docker

• go-bindata - Install go-bindata using go get

  Alternatives if go get fails

  OSX $> brew install go-bindata

  Linux sudo apt install go-bindata

Clone the repo into your the directory of your choice.

> ./build.sh

Executable will be generated here:

=> csa-app/dist/csa
=> csa-app/dist/csa-l
=> csa-app/dist/csa.exe

Release builds containing all required GO dependencies can be generated using a docker build

1. Run Docker Build

$> docker build -f build-Dockerfile -t csa-release:latest .

2. Generate executables

$> docker run -v ${PWD}:/app -e VERSION=v3.2.10-rc1 csa-release:latest

> ./build.sh

Executable will be generated here 
=> csa-app/dist/csa-l
=> csa-app/dist/csa.exe

Verify docker created directory has correct ownership

$> sudo chown -R $USER:`id -g -n $USER` $WORKING_DIR/go/exe

Check that the exe runs

The executable(s) can be found in <project root dir>/csa-app/exe directory
