fix(icims): stop doubling the careers- prefix on iCIMS board hosts - #4132
fix(icims): stop doubling the careers- prefix on iCIMS board hosts#4132mcgalleg wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
scan-ats-full.mjs built every iCIMS board as careers-<entry>.icims.com, but
the public dataset stores many tenants as the full portal subdomain already
("careers-acme", "uscareers-acme", "acmecareers-west"). Those entries became
hosts like careers-careers-acme.icims.com, answered 404, and were recorded as
dead boards, so a large share of live iCIMS boards were never scanned.
icimsHostCandidates() now returns the likelier host first and the other shape
as a fallback: an entry already starting with careers- is used as-is; one that
contains "careers" is tried as-is first; any other entry keeps the canonical
careers- host first. icims.fetch() tries a fallback only when the previous
host answers 404 on its first page. Any other failure is rethrown unchanged,
so dead-board tracking still reads throttles and timeouts as unknown.
Entries without fallback_urls (every portals.yml entry) behave as before.

Describe the optional fallback accurately.
scan-ats-full.mjs:221 returns no fallback for entries that start with careers-. Line 46 currently says that each entry carries the alternate host shape.
State that only non-canonical entries carry a fallback.

Add a fallback-specific error propagation test.
This test throws 429 from the primary host. It does not exercise an error from a fallback probe after the primary host returns 404.
Add a case where the primary host returns 404 and the fallback host returns 429. Assert that fetch() throws the fallback error and makes exactly two requests.
As per path instructions, “do not swallow probe-specific fetch errors” and tests must cover “404/error propagation.” <path_instructions>

I reviewed the two owned tests here (tests/scan-ats-full-icims-hosts.test.mjs and tests/providers/icims-host-fallback.test.mjs). Both are sound, drive real code, and pin the host safety that matters on a host-construction change.
tests/scan-ats-full-icims-hosts.test.mjs imports the real scan-ats-full.mjs (SOURCES.icims.toEntry, icimsHostCandidates), which is where the doubling actually lived, and asserts the fix with literal hostnames: a bare acmefreight builds careers-acmefreight.icims.com with a bare fallback, an already-prefixed careers-acmefreight is used as-is with no fallback_urls (the no careers-careers- case), uscareers-acme is tried as-is first, and a hostile slug like evil/..%2f resolves to null. It also sweeps every candidate over five inputs and asserts each ends with .icims.com, so the domain stays pinned.
tests/providers/icims-host-fallback.test.mjs imports the real providers/icims.mjs and drives icims.fetch(entry, ctx) with a mock fetchText (no network), covering the fallback path: a first-page 404 may try a fallback, 429 and later-page 404s rethrow, a live primary never touches the fallback, and crucially an https://evil.example fallback and an http://...icims.com fallback are both ignored because the fallback is re-gated through resolveOrigin (HTTPS plus endsWith('.icims.com')).
I mutation-checked the host safety on both paths. Reintroducing the doubling reddens the construction test, removing the .icims.com anchor in resolveOrigin reddens the fetch test ("followed an off-host fallback"), and widening the candidate suffix to .evil.com reddens the stays-on-icims.com sweep. So neither anchor is decorative, and neither test is vacuous.
One scope note, since providers/icims.mjs is in my area: the diff there carries changes beyond the host-prefix fix (an enrichDate location backfill and an INTER_PAGE_DELAY_MS bump from 150 to 250). They look benign, but they are unrelated to the stated fix and are not covered by the two owned tests, so it is worth either calling them out in the description or splitting them, so the next reader is not left guessing which change the tests guard.
Owned tests sound, host safety covered. I am speaking to the two tests and the iCIMS host logic here; the docs/SUPPORTED_JOB_BOARDS.md and scan-ats-full.mjs changes are outside what I own, so I have not passed judgment on those.

What does this PR do?
scan-ats-full.mjsbuilds every iCIMS board ascareers-<entry>.icims.com, but the public dataset stores many tenants as the full portal subdomain already (careers-acme,uscareers-acme,acmecareers-west). Those entries become hosts likecareers-careers-acme.icims.com, answer 404, and get recorded as dead boards, so a large share of live iCIMS boards are never scanned. This PR builds the host from what the entry actually is, and letsicims.fetch()try the other host shape when the first one answers 404 on its first page.How big the gap is. After a full sweep, iCIMS accounted for 7,469 of the 13,795 boards in
data/dead-boards.tsv. Grouping the dataset's 10,108 iCIMS entries by shape, and checking a random sample of the dead ones at the corrected host:careers-careerselsewhere (acmecareers-west)jobs-,campus-,external-…)careers-prefix)Samples are small, but the direction is consistent: 73 of the 240 sampled dead boards (about 30%) are live at the corrected host.
The change.
icimsHostCandidates(entry)(exported fromscan-ats-full.mjs) returns the likelier host first and the other shape as a fallback. An entry that already starts withcareers-is used as-is with no fallback. One that containscareersis tried as-is first. Any other entry keeps the canonicalcareers-host first, sotoEntry('acmefreight')still yieldshttps://careers-acmefreight.icims.com/...and the existing test is unchanged.SOURCES.icims.toEntrysets the primary ascareers_urland the other asfallback_urls. The SSRF host check still applies to the primary, andicims.fetch()runs every fallback through the samehttps+*.icims.comgate.icims.fetch()moves to a fallback only on a 404 from the first search page. A throttle, timeout, DNS failure or later-page 404 is rethrown unchanged, sodead-boards.mjsstill counts a miss only for a real 404. The page loop moved verbatim intofetchPortal()so a fallback host gets identical pagination and truncation handling.fallback_urls, which includes everyportals.ymlentry, behave exactly as before.One side effect worth knowing: for
careers-*entries the dead-board key (careers_url) changes, so their oldcareers-careers-*rows indead-boards.tsvsimply stop matching anything and are re-checked from zero.Tests. Two new files, so nothing collides with other open PRs:
tests/scan-ats-full-icims-hosts.test.mjs: host candidates for each entry shape, normalization (a leading dash in the dataset, uppercase), candidates never leavingicims.com, hostile input still rejected.tests/providers/icims-host-fallback.test.mjs: first-page 404 falls back; a live primary never requests the fallback; all hosts 404 throws the 404 after one request each; 429 and later-page 404 are rethrown without switching hosts; off-host fallback URLs are ignored; an entry without fallbacks is unchanged.Full
node test-all.mjs: 8,742 passed, 0 failed. Its warnings are all pre-existing and unrelated to iCIMS or the sweep; the dashboard build was skipped locally because there is no Go toolchain on this machine.Docs: the iCIMS row in
