[GetsecuR]

I am using this Dependency checker .sh file:
docker run --rm \
-e user=$USER \
-u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
--volume $(pwd):/src \
--volume "$DATA_DIRECTORY":/usr/share/dependency-check/data \
--volume $(pwd)/odc-reports:/report \
owasp/dependency-check:$DC_VERSION \
--scan /src \
--log /report/dc.log
--format "ALL" \
--project "$DC_PROJECT" \
--out /report
# Use suppression like this: (where /src == $pwd)
# --suppression "/src/security/dependency-check-suppression.xml"

________________________*Out out error is*____________ (also I don;t find log file in any path)--------- Please suggest asap-----Thanks------

My guess would be that the reports directory is not writable. Does the /reports/dc.log exist? If so does it contain any additional information?

[arch4sec]

I have the same issue and there is no such report directory in /var/lib/jenkins/OWASP-Dependency-Check/ and nowhere else

[jeremylong]

Have you tried using the docker script from the README.md? https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck#docker

Also, doe $(pwd)/odc-reports exist and is $pwd writable? If not - you should adjust that line in the call to docker.

[sthagen]

... because if using default script and the folder $(pwd)/odc-reports does not exist, the running container will create this like so (at least when using the script as is):

drwxr-xr-x  2 the_host_user root   4096 Aug  5 06:27 odc-reports

If creating the folder as the_host_user prior to running with adequate perms mitigates the issue then reports are being written. Thanks @jeremylong for the helpful hint.

[arch4sec]

It works. Also, from my side...thank you @jeremylong for your help
