Cppcheck GUI tries to run misra.py addon in the wrong method

[Yukihyo]

Hi, I am using Cppcheck 2.13.0 with GUI + Python version 3.12.1 in Windows 10.

When analysis run with MISRA-C:2013 addon, the operation is abort and the following message:

Bailing out from analysis: Checking file failed: Failed to execute addon '' - exitcode is 2: python.exe   --cli C:\...\Main.a1.1700.dump
Output:

unknown option --cli
usage: python.exe [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.

looks like some fields are not filled. ("Failed to execute addon ''", odd number of spaces between python.exe and --cli.)

I tried run with the CLI command under the same conditions except using the GUI tool. I did the following:

cppcheck --dump ...\Application\Main.c
python misra.py --rule-texts=...\Rules.txt ...Application\Main.c.dump

Works fine. I thought to be purely a problem with the GUI tool.

Add: only problem at 2.13.0. works fine 2.12.0.

Thanks for this report, it does not work well for me neither in the GUI however I get slightly different problems. I have created this ticket:

I have the same issue,
is there any roadmap for fixing it?
Is there any workaround in the meanwhile?

Thanks

I have it on my TODO list however there are other tasks before it. I would hope it can be fixed in ~1-2 months.
