Build preparation stage

The Build preparation stage is an optional step executed right before reading the Analyses configuration, hence before running the analyses.

If a Global configuration is used, this stage is executed only if the Build preparation stage is enabled in the Project settings:

If a Committed configuration is used, this stage is executed only if a .trustinsoft/prepare.sh file is committed in the analyzed branch/tag/pull request of the GitHub repository.

During this stage, the build preparation script is run with the following specifications:

• The current working directory is:

  • the repository's root for Global configurations

  • the.trustinsoft/ directory at the repository's root for Committed configurations

• On an Ubuntu 18.04 distribution

• With GNU bash, version 4.4

• Limited to 30 minutes of execution

• Some programs (such as bear,cmake, autoconf, ...) are already installed and available

• Network access is enable to:

  • install any other required packages/programs

  • clone other repositories to make other source files available for analyses

With a Committed configuration, the Build preparation script can also be used to generate the Analyses configuration file!
