Functionality for Debugging Active Rules Scripts

[koirala sanskrit]

I find it really difficult to debug Active Rule scripts, as for those to run, the active scanner should be invoked. However, I just want to test the script. I see no easy way to do that.

So I wanted to add a checkbox on the CustomScanDialog.java. Like this  👇

I wanted to just execute scripts (not other scans). Can anyone guide me to do it? (documentation of the code, or else, because I am lost at reading it).

There’s nothing need to change the UI. Just create a scan policy that only includes script scan rules. Or even better if it’s a first class script rule create a policy only for it.
