sourceanalyzer is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

These are the steps i'm following to set up Fortify SCA for my Source code.

1. Included sca-maven-plugin-3.90.jar as part of my maven plugin (pom.xml).

2. While trying to run mvn sca:translate . , it gives me below error.

    [INFO] Created output dir <dir> [INFO] cmd: "sourceanalyzer @<dir>/sca-translate-java.txt" 'sourceanalyzer' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. [ERROR] Error invoking sourceanalyzer. Exit code: 1. Verify your project settings and your SCA installation. [INFO] Executing command: sourceanalyzer -b <id> -group-id -artifact-id <artifact> -show-module ERROR] Command execution failed. Exit code: 1. Make sure that the executable is available 

Not sure what i'm missing here.

Answer 1

Make sure you can run sourceanalyzer directly from the command line.

C:\>sourceanalyzer -?

If that doesn't work, you may have to reinstall Fortify but first check your PATH variable.

C:\>echo %PATH%

That should report the Fortify install location bin directory:

C:\Program Files\HP_Fortify\HP_Fortify_SCA_$version\bin
