Proposed changes

Closes #1979.

The windvane source stops paginating when (page-1)*count >= total. After page 1 that is 0 >= total, so it always requests one more, empty, page after the last one: two requests for a domain with 2 results, three for one with 1500. This compares page*count instead, so it stops once the pages fetched cover total.

Proof

Adds TestWindvaneSource_StopsAfterLastPage, which serves total results in pages of the requested count, using the page_response fields from the windvane API docs (#1639), and checks the pages requested:

total=2     before: [1 2]    after: [1]
total=1000  before: [1 2]    after: [1]
total=1500  before: [1 2 3]  after: [1 2]

The test fails without the fix and passes with it.

$ go test -race ./pkg/subscraping/...
ok  	github.com/projectdiscovery/subfinder/v2/pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane
...
$ golangci-lint run ./pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane/...
0 issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Windvane searches now stop requesting pages once all available results have been retrieved. This prevents unnecessary requests and returns the expected subdomains for result sets that fit on one page or span multiple pages, including results at page boundaries.

The loop compared (page-1)*count with the total, so it always requested
one more empty page after the last one. Compare page*count instead.

Walkthrough

Windvane now stops requesting pages when the current page capacity reaches the reported total. Tests verify returned subdomain counts and requested page numbers for totals of 2, 1000, and 1500.

Changes

Windvane pagination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop after the last page
pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane/windvane.go, pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane/windvane_test.go
The stop condition compares page * recordsPerPage with totalRecords. Tests verify results and requested pages for three totals.

The pagination fix appears ready to merge. Add a deterministic anonymous-response test to preserve SubdomainCenter coverage while avoiding unreliable live requests.

Explanation

Issue #1979 requires the Windvane pagination check to stop when page*count >= total. At head 891a979, pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane/windvane.go changes the check from (page-1)*recordsPerPage >= totalRecords to page*recordsPerPage >= totalRecords. This matches the expected condition in #1979. Per the PR change summary, TestWindvaneSource_StopsAfterLastPage in windvane_test.go covers totals 2, 1000, and 1500, with requested pages [1], [1], and [1, 2]. I did not open the test file directly. The coding requirement of #1979 is met by the code change. No unmet coding requirement remains.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Two changes do not connect to #1979. (1) In windvane.go, the response lifecycle changes. The defer session.DiscardHTTPResponse(resp) call is removed. DiscardHTTPResponse is now called after each page is decoded. It is also called on the ctx.Done() path inside the result loop. #1979 asks only for the pagination stop condition. The response-disposal change alters resource handling and is not required by the issue. (2) In pkg/passive/sources_wo_auth_test.go, subdomaincenter is added to the ignoredSources list of TestSourcesWithoutKeys. This exclusion concerns a different source and is unrelated to Windvane pagination. The pagination fix and its test are in scope.

Resolution

Remove the DiscardHTTPResponse lifecycle changes from pkg/subscraping/sources/windvane/windvane.go, and restore the defer session.DiscardHTTPResponse(resp) call. Remove the subdomaincenter entry from pkg/passive/sources_wo_auth_test.go. If either change is still needed, move it to a separate issue and pull request with its own justification.

I filed #1979 with this fix ready; #1980 was opened for it in the meantime. This one only changes the loop condition. Happy to close it if you prefer #1980.

Retain the anonymous response assertions when skipping live CI requests.

The concurrency harness can invoke SubdomainCenter.Run, but its transport-based checks do not require a successful anonymous response or validate the returned values as subdomains. TestSourcesWithoutKeys does both. If the live endpoint must remain skipped, add a focused test with a local HTTP transport and mock JSON response. Otherwise, remove the skip.
