Unable to connect to the dependency-check database

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I’d previously been running dependencyCheck quite happily on my Mac. But now I’ve switched to running a Fedora VM under QubesOS it no longer seems to work.

I get the error

[error] (*:dependencyCheck) org.owasp.dependencycheck.exception.ExceptionCollection: One or more exceptions occurred during analysis:
[error]         Unable to connect to the dependency-check database

Version of sbt-dependency-check used

The problem occurs using version 0.2.10 (which is what I was using on my mac) and 1.3.0 of the the plugin.

Log file

https://gist.github.com/mgladdish/3971948c0fd101d9a1ab67fd7f4d6307

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

execute the dependencyCheck target

Expected behavior

The dependencyCheck task to run without errors, and produce a report.

Additional context

I’ve seen similar errors logged on the “parent” project, e.g. https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck/issues/1783. I tried dependencyCheckPurge and deleting my .ivy2/cache/org.owasp/dependency-check-utils/jars/data directory. Neither of which helped.

Unfortunately the default for sbt/scala is to only show the exception stacktrace and not showing the stacktraces and messages of the underlying causes. The root cause in this case is wrapped two times in new Exceptions. I’m preparing a fix to log those exceptions including their root cause. This should help you pinpoint where your platform specific issue comes from.
