Hello,

I am working on the automation framework to run scans automatically for my internship. However, since March 1st, I have been experiencing issues with the active scan job. When I create a new scan plan, I am unable to access the settings of the active scan job, and when I try to save this plan, I receive the following error message:

However, if I first load a file with the following active scan job YAML
yaml file img.png
I thought I might have broken something but after fully reinstalling it on my vm it still broke the same way.
I don't know if others have the sameproblem or kan reproduce it but it seems like a bug to me.
Kind regards,

Luuk Paans

Hi Luuk,

Thats a bug that has been fixed but not yet released: https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-extensions/blob/main/addOns/automation/CHANGELOG.md

Until it is released you just need to set the threadPerHost to > 0 in the GUI.

Cheers,

Simon

Oh wait - that was released :)

Can you update your add-ons and try again?

I just tried updating all addons but no updatas available.
I still experience the issue.
I am using zap version 2.12.0 on kali linux in a virtualbbox VM mayby that has something to do with it?

Hi Luuk,

A new version of the automation add-on has just been released: 0.25.1 - this should fix the problem you found.

Try it out and let us know how you get on :)
