Using a local project

In some development environments you may not be able to access source code from a cloud-based repository. iCR for Python also supports accessing projects that are accessible directly on your server. With the help of an administrative user, projects may be uploaded to the local file system of the server.

Selecting this option brings up the Select Project window on the left side of the screen. iCR for Python uses a default anchor point of /home for local projects. If projects need to be reached from a different acess point, please contact your administrator to have them help you locate the local projects.

From the Select Project frame, you can scroll down through directories and subdirectories looking for the desired project for analysis.

In this example, we will select a project called django which is located within the directory Python-projects (which is displayed as the Base Directory Path).

The project has now been added to the list of locally accessible projects available for analysis.

Notice that once the project is added, the icon: appears next to the project name. This option works exactly the same as the mono-repo icon described in Selecting your branch. It allows you to select a subdirectory of the source code to narrow the scope of your analysis of this local project. See the description in Selecting your branch for more details.

Note that the Analyze, Review and Remove buttons are now available. The Review button is grayed out until an analysis is complete and results are available for review. The Integration button supports working with the Jira bug tracking system. And the Version button allows you to specify the required Python library version needed for this local project.

The Remove button allows you to drop this project from the list of available projects.

Note: If you choose to remove a project, ALL OF ITS RESULTS will also be deleted. This includes ALL of the history of Rejected bugs.

You can add as many projects as you wish.
