[Solved] TVDCC extremely slow

Hello,

Is there a limitation in the trial/preview version of TVDCC that could explain its extreme slowness?

It takes up to 20 minutes between each processed file (depending on the number of issues found) to write the "tvdcc-result.xml" (result file passed back to SonarQube).

Here is the output of my last tentative (1:43 for 10 scanned files + failed on a timeout error) :

I get about the same performance as yours when testing on the "sample" directory (installed on my C drive). This rang a bell to me! Indeed, my packages are located on... a network drive. After moving them to my C: drive, the processing time went down from 3 minutes to 3 seconds. Bingo!

So, problem solved, you can close the topic.

Thanks

You set the timeout to 10 seconds per file. If you process 10 files and every file gets a timeout then the process is terminated after 1:40 minutes without any useful result. This does not explain the 20 minutes per file issue. 

The logs are not conclusive. Looks like the are based on several runs since different validators are used. Could you try to use the command line utility (tvdcc.sh / tvdcc.cmd) with default settings (default validator) and post the result here? Thank you

I understand your point on the timeout (and I will fine tune those 2 parameters) but, as you said, it's does not explain the slowness issue.

I ran different tests on a more limited set of files (".pks" only):

  • with your validators.jar and with the one I've created;
  • with the following validators: Guidelines3, Guidelines3Plus and (my) DBCCGuidelines;
  • by launching directly tvdcc or by launching it through sonar-scanner.

My conclusion is that the execution time is proportional to the number of issues found rather than on the number of lines scanned. I explain this by the fact that it's the writing of the XML which takes most of the time, not the scanning of the source code itself. Also, sonar-scanner add very little overhead compared to a direct launch of tvdcc.

Here is the output of a direct invocation of tvdcc with your validators.jar:

You can see that it takes almost 10 minutes for only 7 relatively small files.  The number of issues detected for a given file is reported almost instantly (which makes me say that the scanning is quite fast). It's between 2 files (during which the XML seems to be written) that most of the time is spent: for the 3rd file, about 5 minutes for the 112 issues.

Could you please post the result without using the validator parameter? You are currently using TrivadisGuidelines3Plus validator. I do not see if this is the original or an amended validator. Thanks.

Of course it's quicker (nearly 3 minutes for 7 files) as naming conventions are no more checked and therefore less issues are detected and written in the XML file. But, the average time per issue is 170 / 64 = 2,66 sec, which is still comparable to 556 / 257 = 2,16 sec.

This is really slow. I've changed to the sample directory of tvdcc and run "tvdcc.sh path=.".

The result was:

The HTML file contains also a section where the elapsed time per file is recorded (see "File Overview" in attached file). The first file typically takes a bit longer. 

However, your run times are way off. I have currently no idea what the reason is. I cannot imagine that your computer or VM is that slow.

Any chance to provide the 7 files?
