fossa test

The test command checks whether the most-recent scan of your FOSSA project raised license-policy or vulnerability issues. This command is usually run immediately after fossa analyze

  • If there are issues, it prints them to stderr and fails with an exit code of 1
  • If there are no issues, it prints nothing and succeeds with an exit code of 0

fossa test supports the Common FOSSA Project Flags supported by all commands

Specifying a timeout

By default, fossa test waits a maximum of 3600 seconds (1 hour) for issue scan results. To override the default timeout, use, e.g.:

fossa test --timeout 60

Where 60 is the maximum number of seconds to wait for issue scan results.

Print issues as JSON

By default, fossa test displays issues in a human-readable format. To instead print issues as JSON, use:

fossa test --format json

Test for new issues compared to another revision

--diff <REVISION> configures FOSSA to only report new issues observed with the current revision that weren't already reported on the specified <REVISION>.

fossa test --diff revisionToCompare

Example

fossa test --revision 34021e --diff v2.0.0

This only reports issues that are present in 34021e revision, BUT are not present in revision v2.0.0.

For instance,

  • If the revision v2.0.0 has issue: A, and the revision 34021e has issue A,

    • fossa-cli reports no new issues discovered and exits with status code of 0.

  • If the revision v2.0.0 has issue: A, and the revision 34021e has 0 issues,

    • fossa-cli reports no new issues discovered and exits with status code of 0.

  • If the revision v2.0.0 has issue: A, and the revision 34021e has issues A, B,

    • fossa-cli reports issue B and exits with status code of 1.
