Week 6 Progress​

  • Populated copyright table for scancode.

  • Extended Email/URL/Author Browser to add scan result by ScanCode.

  • There are two levels of pagination one for FOSSology and ScanCode and other for email/url/author tabs.

  • All the available options for Test replacement, Replace selected rows and, Deactivate selected rows are working good.

Discussions​

  • There is a bug in the pagination of the Email/URL/Author Browser. It could be possibly because of cookies. Check out storage of the inspect page, there will be index for different cookies and it would be helpful in debugging.
  • Maintagent can be taken as a reference to create verbose flags. ScanCode UI will look like reuser/desider in the upload section.
  • There is a problem in finding start byte of copyright due to unicode character.
  • ScanCode change © to (c) and also removes some of the characters like : from copyright(c): Sarita Singh and scan results to copyright (c) Sarita Singh. This thing causes issue in finding start byte of copyright and also integrating scancode copyright to report(unable to remove redundant data).
  • Michael suggested to drop copyright and unicode characters and then use sub-string matching to find approx. position(but it would be inaccurate).
  • Creating a ScanCode plugin to get copyright text like matched license text would solve the issue.

Conclusion and Further Plans​

  • Fix author tabs.
  • Use verbose flags for scancode agent like maintagent.
  • creating a scancode plugin to get copyright text can work.

Discussions​

  • ScheduleAgent function code in scancode/ui/agent_scancode.php is correct.
  • Format of flag for jq_cmd_args depends upon the code we are using to parse this flag inside the ScanCode agent.
  • Gaurav suggested to take reference for cliOptions from copyright or ojo agent.
  • They are using Boost.Program_options library which can be used to parse command line arguments and get ScanCode flags.
  • Further, this code can be reused for adding ScanCode agent to run by command line.

Conclusion and Further Plans​

  • ScheduleAgent function in scancode/ui/agent_scancode.php.
  • Next step is to parse the scancode args to get scancode CLI flags.
  • Use Boost program options for scancode CLI.
