Alex Goodman b5e85c3ea5 chore: migrate fixtures to testdata (#4651)
* migrate fixtures to testdata

* fix: correct broken symlinks after testdata migration

The migration from test-fixtures to testdata broke several symlinks:
- elf-test-fixtures symlinks pointed to old test-fixtures paths
- elf-test-fixtures needed to be renamed to elf-testdata
- image-pkg-coverage symlink pointed to test-fixtures instead of testdata

* fix: handle missing classifiers/bin directory in Makefile

The clean-fingerprint target was failing when classifiers/bin doesn't
exist (e.g., on fresh clone without downloaded binaries).

* fix: add gitignore negation for jar/zip fixtures in test/cli

The jar and zip files in test/cli/testdata/image-unknowns were being
gitignored by the root .gitignore patterns. This caused them to be
untracked and not included when building docker images in CI, resulting
in Test_Unknowns failures since the test expects errors from corrupt
archive files that weren't present.

Add a .gitignore in test/cli/testdata to negate the exclusions for
these specific test fixture files.

* test: update expected versions for rebuilt fixtures

Update test expectations for packages that have been updated in
upstream repositories when docker images are rebuilt:
- glibc: 2.42-r4 → 2.43-r1 (wolfi)
- php: 8.2.29 → 8.2.30 (ubuntu/apache)

* fix: add go-shlex dependency for testdata manager tool

The manager tool in syft/pkg/cataloger/binary/testdata/ imports
go-shlex, but since it's in a testdata directory, Go doesn't track
its dependencies. This caused CI failures when go.mod didn't
explicitly list the dependency.

* refactor: move binary classifier manager to internal/

Move the manager tool from testdata/manager to internal/manager so
that Go properly tracks its dependencies. Code in testdata directories
is ignored by Go for dependency tracking, which caused CI failures
when go.mod didn't explicitly list transitive dependencies.

This is a cleaner solution than manually adding dependencies to go.mod
for code that happens to live in testdata.

* fix: add gitignore negations for test fixtures blocked by root patterns

Multiple test fixtures were being blocked by root-level gitignore patterns
like bin/, *.jar, *.tar, and *.exe. This adds targeted .gitignore files with
negation patterns to allow these specific test fixtures to be tracked:

- syft/linux/testdata/os/busybox/bin/busybox (blocked by bin/)
- syft/pkg/cataloger/java/testdata/corrupt/example.{jar,tar} (blocked by *.jar, *.tar)
- syft/pkg/cataloger/binary/testdata/classifiers/snippets/go-version-hint/**/bin/go (blocked by bin/)
- syft/pkg/cataloger/bitnami/testdata/no-rel/.../bin/redis-server (blocked by bin/)

Also updates the bitnami test expectation to include the newly required
.gitignore files in the test fixture.

gotestdata

This directory contains test fixtures that require Go tooling to process them.

Why internal/?

This directory is inside internal/ to prevent external packages from importing anything from here. Go's import restrictions on internal/ directories ensure these fixtures are only accessible to tests within this package.

Why not use testdata?

Go's build system and module tooling explicitly ignores directories named testdata. This is documented behavior - when running commands like go list, go mod, or using golang.org/x/tools/go/packages, Go skips any directory named testdata.

This becomes a problem for tests that:

  • Use packages.Load() to resolve Go module dependencies
  • Need go mod commands to work on fixture go.mod files
  • Rely on any Go tooling that traverses the module graph

What goes here?

Place fixtures here that contain go.mod files and need Go's module resolution to work. For example:

  • go-source/ - fixtures for testing Go source cataloging with dependency resolution
  • Any fixture that uses WithUsePackagesLib(true) in tests

What stays in testdata?

Fixtures that don't require Go tooling can remain in testdata:

  • Static file parsing tests (e.g., parsing go.mod without resolution)
  • Binary fixtures
  • Golden files and snapshots
  • Any test using WithUsePackagesLib(false)
