Using a local project

In some development environments you may not be able to access source code from a cloud-based repository. iCR 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 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 icons are now available as they were for the non-local VCS case. The Review icon is grayed out until an analysis is complete and results are available for review.

The Integration icon supports working with the Jira bug tracking system.

The Engine Log icon is there in the rare case that some error has occured during the analysis of your project. This icon allows you to capture the log from The Analysis Engine and send it to OpenRefactory in the event that further resolution of the failure is required.

The Remove icon 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.
