Summary
This article documents a possible cause of timeout issues which occur when 7zip is not installed or configured correctlySynopsis
When running a local scan Gradle task it consumes the majority of available system memory and eventually times out. No meaningful failure information is provided.Discussion
This issue is due to the fact that 7-zip is either not installed or the environment variable for 7-zip is not properly configured, preventing archives from being properly extracted during scanning. There are two possible solutions:1) Upgrade both the release and plugins directory to FNCI R3, now available for download from the Customer Community/Licensing Center.
2) Manually add the 7-zip tool and set the environment variables. This step is referenced in the R2 release notes:
? This release of Code Insight ships with a copy of the 7-zip tool for extraction of archives on the Code Insight server, as well as on the scan agent server where an FNCI plugin is installed (e.g. for a Jenkins plugin this would be the Jenkins build server). If you already have a plugin installed, verify that 7-zip is included on the scan agent server. If missing, copy 7-Zip from \7-zip to the scan agent server. Also, ensure that the environment variable CODEINSIGHT_ROOT is correctly set on the scan agent server to point to the top-level location of 7-Zip.
