Hi @riteshreddy99,

I'm confused. Can't you compile GZoltar ou can't you run GZoltar from the command line?

• From your instructions and screenshot it seems you're having problems compiling it because some GZoltar's tests are failing. It might be they are indeed failing due to a fault or it might be they are simplying failing because you are not using the recommend Java version (i.e., JDK 8). I would recommend you compile GZoltar with mvn clean package -DskipTests.

• From this issue's title it seems you're having problems running GZoltar on the command line but I failed to see how, as the instructions point to the compilation of GZoltar.

Yeah that was the issue, I was not using JDK 8. After switching to JDK 8 the build was successful. Could you please help me out on how I can use the GZoltar VSCode extension on these two datasets containing java projects.

Thanks.

• Projects on QuixBugs do not follow the standard structure used in Java/Maven projects and therefore you will have a very hard time just importing them to VSCode.

• Project on IntroClassJava, on the other hand, seem to follow the standard structure used in Java/Maven projects. I haven't tried VSCode + GZoltar + IntroClassJava, but I would say you would have to:

1. Open VSCode.
2. Import a single project, e.g., https://github.com/Spirals-Team/IntroClassJava/tree/master/dataset/checksum/08c7ea4ac39aa6a5ab206393bb4412de9d2c365ecdda9c1b391be963c1811014ed23d2722d7433b8e8a95305eee314d39da4950f31e01f9147f90af91a5c433a/006.
3. Run GZoltar as described in here.

Is there any other dataset I could use to test the tool on other than the https://github.com/jkoppel/QuixBugs

[jose]

Yes, there are many others you could use, e.g.: Bugs.jar, Bears, and of course the well known Defects4J.

[riteshreddy99]

Thanks! I will check it out.

For some reason GZoltar is unable to detect the open folder of the IntroClassJava project. What could be the issue?

[riteshreddy99]

Hey @jose,
This is the error I'm facing upon trying to test the example GZoltar maven projects. Please take a look.
Thanks,

By just looking at the screenshot it is impossible to guess what the issue could be as I don't see any error message of any kind.

This is the error I'm facing upon trying to test the example GZoltar maven projects. Please take a look.

It seens your IDE is complaining of a missing runtime dependency. Have you managed to successfully compile/package GZoltar?

[riteshreddy99]

I just installed the GZoltar Extension from the VSCode Marketplace.

[jose]

And that's fine, but the project you're using (i.e., maven-examples) requires you to successfully compile GZoltar first.

[riteshreddy99]

mvn clean test-compile
mvn -P sufire gzoltar:prepare-agent test
mvn gzoltar:fl-report

This is what is supposed to be run?

[jose]

This is what is supposed to be run?

No. As described in this README file, those are the commands to run the maven-examples from the command line using "Online instrumentation with maven-sufire test case executor".

That same README file also says:

Note that the GZoltar project must be 'packaged' before running any of the usage examples described below, i.e., mvn package must be executed on the root directory.

which is exactly what I was trying to tell you.

[riteshreddy99]

Okay, so I ran mvn package

Upon, trying to open vulnerability report an error pops up.
