We are trying to use the Coverity OpenSource service but have problems submitting our project files for analyses.

Whenever submitting the project.tgz to the coverity (no matter whether this is done via the automation instruction or via the website directly), we see that the build is being queued for a short time:

Last Build Status: Running. Your build is currently being analyzed

But after a few second the build fails as it cannot find the archive:

Last Build Status: Failed. Your build has failed due to the following reason. Please fix the error and upload the build again. Error details: :Failed to retrieve tar file ...more

The build log seems fine:

2015-12-18T12:30:44.458433Z|cov-build|5752|info|> Build time (cov-build overall): 00:34:26.499117
2015-12-18T12:30:44.458433Z|cov-build|5752|info|> 

2015-12-18T12:30:44.462750Z|cov-build|5752|info|> Build time (C/C++/Java emits total): 00:49:03.604351

2015-12-18T12:30:44.462750Z|cov-build|5752|info|> 

2015-12-18T12:30:44.462750Z|cov-build|5752|info|> 

2015-12-18T12:30:44.462794Z|cov-build|5752|info|> 397 C/C++ compilation units (100%) are ready for analysis

2015-12-18T12:30:44.462794Z|cov-build|5752|info|> 19 Java compilation units (100%) have been captured and are ready for analysis

The issue seems to be consistent with Error details: :Failed to download tar file from . Unfortunately, there is no solution.

Is there any naming convention/and or size restriction for the archive?

Thanks for your help!

  • ***"Failed to retrieve tar file..."*** - It fails the same way if you upload a ZIP, too. I'm fairly certain the service is broken since we used to be able to upload a build. But we've been experiencing the same error for about six weeks now.

After contacting the coverity support we just received the following answer and we could successfully submit a build. Seems there was some hickup on the coverity side.

"This was due to some behind the scenes issues on our end – nothing interesting,, but it is back up and running now. Thanks for your patience".
