Command working in Windows but stuck in Ubuntu

[KingHanzala]

I recently tried to generate SBOM on my windows terminal with command cdxgen --required-only --no-babel --no-install-deps -r -o bom.json and it generated bom file successfully
but later I tried to generate SBOM on my WSL(Ubuntu) with the above command, it got stuck (for over an hour) and didn't generated any output.

I want to run it on ubuntu as my jenkins build machine is Ubuntu. Please help in getting to the core of this issue.

@KingHanzala This is interesting. I would suggest uninstalling cdxgen from Windows and manually checking and deleting the node_modules. Then install from within WSL. This way there would be no PowerShell scripts created which is my suspicion.

Backend: SBT project and yes nodejs is installed for UI/Frontend. Nodejs is installed in WSL separately, it doesn't use the Windows installed one.

@KingHanzala sbt is also known to be quite slow. Can you build the project first before invoking cdxgen? Or pass -t js?

[KingHanzala]

Update: the command cdxgen --required-only --no-babel --no-install-deps -r -o bom.json ran but it took around 94 minutes to complete. Not sure why it took this much time. Is it related to WSL being slow?

@KingHanzala To clarify, did you build the project first this last time before invoking cdxgen?

[KingHanzala]

Yes, Project was built. It was built in previous attempts too.

@KingHanzala Please try running using the cdxgen-deno docker image if possible. I think this may be WSL slowness.
