Repository and projects vcs and vcs_processed empty

[luismartinpolo22]

Hi all,

I'm trying to analyse, scan and evaluate a Python project whose dependencies are defined in a requirements.txt file. When running the analyzer, the repository and projects vcs and vcs_processed sections are missing the type, url, revision and path info. Without this info, the evaluator performed later returns the following error:

Could not resolve provenance for package '...:'

I saw in the mime-types example that the package.json file contains basic info about the project, and then tried to do the same for my project defining a setup.py as follows:

from distutils.core import setup

setup(
    name='gaia-bhthree',
    version='1.0',
    url='https://github.com/esa/gaia-bhthree.git'
)

But then I got the following error running the analyzer:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The VcsInfo(type=Git, url=https://github.com/esa/gaia-bhthree.git, revision=, path=) of project 'PIP::gaia-bhthree-with-requirements-requirements.txt:1.0' cannot be found in Repository(vcs=VcsInfo(type=, url=, revision=, path=), vcsProcessed=VcsInfo(type=, url=, revision=, path=), nestedRepositories={}, config=RepositoryConfiguration(analyzer=null, excludes=Excludes(paths=[], scopes=[]), resolutions=Resolutions(issues=[], ruleViolations=[], vulnerabilities=[]), curations=Curations(packages=[], licenseFindings=[]), packageConfigurations=[], licenseChoices=LicenseChoices(repositoryLicenseChoices=[], packageLicenseChoices=[]), snippetChoices=[])).

Could you please help to understand the issue better?

Is there any place in the documentation where the basic info that a project should contain is defined? I will need to do the same for java projects later on.

Many thanks,
Luis
