CodeChecker store: Connection failed

[Chrismarsh]

I ran the analysis and want to store it in the db. I start a server:

$ CodeChecker server --workspace ./ws --port 8555 --host 127.0.0.1

but in another terminal window I cannot interact with the server:

$ CodeChecker server -l

However, I can interact from a browser.

Any suggestions on how to get unstuck? --verbose debug does not give any insight.

Hi,

The server instances are listed based on ~/.codechecker.instances.json file. So, make sure that the other terminal is used with the same user, with the same HOME folder. You may check the content of this json file to see if it's reasonable. CodeChecker server -l is printing the CodeChecker server instances executed by the given user on the given host machine. Make sure that all these commands are executed on the same host with the same user.

Hi, Both terminals are on the same machine, with the same user. If I ps -aux | grep CodeChecker from the terminal I am trying to store from, I can see the CodeChecker process, as expected. And cat ~/.codechecker.instances.json shows the instance.

hi @bruntib just wondering if you had any other thoughts on this?

Hi @Chrismarsh,
Sorry, I couldn't reproduce the issue. Does this error still occur?
Also, I just noticed a typo in the IP address at --url flag in your logs: CodeChecker store ./reports --name CHM --url http://127.0.01:8555/Default
