Enable auto detection

Learn how to automatically detect toolchains used in your repository.

The system can automatically detect toolchains required for your projects based on the manifest files present in your repository. Auto detection is supported for Java, Python, Golang and .NET(C#) projects. Only the Long Term Support (LTS) versions of the toolchains are supported in auto detection. See the Toolchain support matrix for a complete list of supported toolchain versions for auto detection.

Enable auto detection in CLI

To enable auto detection from the CLI,

endorctl scan --install-build-tools --enable-build-tools-version-detection

Enable auto detection in GitHub App

When using the GitHub App, you can enable auto detection either by a project or enable it for all projects in a tenant.

  • To enable the auto detection by a project, update the project’s meta.annotations with "ENDOR_SCAN_ENABLE_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION_DETECTION":"true".
meta:
  annotations: {"ENDOR_SCAN_ENABLE_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION_DETECTION":"true"}

  endorctl api update -r Project --uuid=<project-uuid> -i
  • To enable auto detection across all projects in a tenant, update the system config’s meta.annotations with "ENDOR_SCAN_ENABLE_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION_DETECTION":"true".
 meta:
   annotations: {"ENDOR_SCAN_ENABLE_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION_DETECTION":"true"}

 endorctl api update -r SystemConfig --uuid=<system-config-uuid> -i

The updates are applied during the next scheduled scan or whenever you perform a manual re-scan.
