Centos, 'Warn Unable to read'

Steve — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:12:12 -0000

Centos 5.5, PHP 5.3.3, Yasca 2.21, wine-1.0.1
I have installed Yasca at /opt/yasca and am trying to run in from the linux shell or through wine, but receive the same error:

If I run
#yasca ./resources/test
I get
bash: yasca: command not found

If I run
wine yasca.exe c:\\yasca\\resources\\test
I get

If I switch to wine cmd, then run yasca within the wine environment, the same error messages as above print out.

I've installed it on a Win23k server and have integrated with ClearCase and it work great, but am unable to get it working with Centos.

CSS Analysis

Several links out there point to Yasca providing support for CSS code analysis. After examining the download, I don't see where this is provided. Is this an example where one would code their own Grep plugin or did I miss something in the product?

Thanks,
Kevin

There's an EICAR test virus sample inside Yasca-core-2.2.zip archive that blocks download in networks with a antivirus proxy.

Cant run PMD Analisis on Java sources

RSE — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:01:52 -0000

Hi,

I was looking for an alternative for the over budget static code analizers and foud about PMD. But i found that PMD by itself is not really easy to use, and got to analyze file by file.

Giving a second try on my research a found about yasca, something easier to use, capable of running PMD analysis and able to scan folders with multiple source files.

I want to make it work on a Windows XP computer. i downloaded it and extract it to "C:\Yasca\" folder.

After that, i copied all the files i wanted to review (.java files) to the "C:\Files\" Folder

Then, i uncompressed yasca-2.1-pmd.zip pluggin to the "C:\pmd" folder

With those components installed i set the SA_HOME to the "C:\pmd" folder

The next step i executed the following command:

yasca -sa_home C:\PMD c:\Files\WebServiceProject\

And i received the following answer:

The report just finds "Code Correctness", "Unknown, Non-Standard, or Obsolete Library Used" and "Arbitrary File Disclosure (potential)" warnings/violations, only 10, when i tried PMD with the basic rules with the optimal advisor tool htye foud abour 200 violations, so im guessing PMD rules are not being checked, and i tried to research about it, but i havent found anything yet.

I already have installed java installed, when i enter the following command i get this response:

C:\yasca>java -version

Can u help to to figure out what i need or what im doing wrong?

INSTALLING ON LINUX WORKSTATION

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:35:44 -0000

I am trying to install YASCA 2.0 on LINUX (Redhat 5.2). Unfortunately, documentation is for YASCA 1.0 (WINDOWS). I think that this has usefulness for a government agency but can't get to install.
