Cannot connect to OpenVas

Hi,

I am having the same issue reported in https://github.com/HASecuritySolutions/VulnWhisperer/issues/98, but I don’t see a valid response about how to fix it. Please help

After install and attempted to run for first time, I got these errors:

INFO:root:main:Running vulnwhisperer for section openvas
INFO:vulnWhispererBase:__init__:Connected to database at /opt/VulnWhisperer/data/database/report_tracker.db
INFO:vulnWhispererOpenVAS:directory_check:Directory already exist for /opt/VulnWhisperer/data/openvas/ - Skipping creation
ERROR:vulnWhispererOpenVAS:__init__:Unable to establish connection with OpenVAS scanner. Reason: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'
ERROR:root:main:__init__() should return None, not 'bool'

Hi @ManuelFFF,

Thanks for your interest in keeping VulnWhisperer alive. The project is open source and not company owned (HASecuritySolutions is hosting it for the sake of having the project under an org instead of a single person), so unfortunately there is also no available budget to put into the project or dedicated people working on it other than collaborators through PRs.

I have mainly adopted the lead of the project for the last years as I have been the main interested developer, but the intention is for the project to be a community driven one, we just need a bit more of public traction. Meanwhile, as I have other projects to work on, my company is hiring a dev to continue with the designed roadmap to standardize and make it easier for other interested devs to contribute, but the process is very slow, so we just can wait. I believe we already closed the hiring process, but if you have interested candidates we can chat about that through the Slack instance.

The project is definitely not going to be abandoned, but help may not arrive soon enough if you are in a rush to have it up and running. The roadmap that we have is planned for the following years, so there’s a lot of things in the backlog to work on in order to bring it to the next level. For now I can only ask you patience 😃

Cheers!
