Monitor Scan Progress

Track the real-time progress of your repository or extension analysis on the status page.

Accessing the Status Page

After submitting a repository or extension for analysis, you'll be taken to the Repository Status page if the analysis is currently in progress.

Note: If the analysis has already completed, you'll be taken directly to the report instead of the status page.

Understanding Status Indicators

The Repository Status page displays the current state of your analysis. The status progresses through several stages:

Status	Meaning	What's Happening
Pending	Submission accepted and queuing	Your submission is being prepared and queued for analysis
Analyzing	Security analysis in progress	The system is scanning your code for vulnerabilities and issues
Complete	Analysis finished successfully	Your report is ready to view
Failed	Analysis encountered an error	The submission failed; see error details below the status

Auto-Refresh Behavior

The Repository Status page automatically refreshes every 5 seconds to show you the latest status updates without needing to reload the page manually.

How Auto-Refresh Works

• When you're on the Repository Status page, the page automatically checks for updates every 5 seconds
• If there's a status change (e.g., from "Queued" to "Analyzing"), the page updates immediately
• The refresh happens silently in the background — your position on the page is maintained

Manual Refresh

If you want to refresh the status immediately without waiting for the auto-refresh:

• Press F5 or Ctrl+R (Windows/Linux) / Cmd+R (Mac) to manually refresh the page

When the Analysis is Complete

Once your analysis reaches the Complete status:

1. A green checkmark or success indicator appears
2. The message "Analysis Complete" or similar is displayed
3. A View Report button or link becomes available
4. Click View Report to see your security findings

See View Security Reports for details on understanding your report.

If Analysis Fails

If your submission results in a Failed status:

Error Information

The status page displays:

• Error Type: What went wrong (e.g., "Repository not found", "Invalid format")
• Error Message: Human-readable description of the problem
• Error Details (if available): Technical information about the failure

Common Failure Reasons

Error	Cause	Solution
Repository not found	URL is incorrect or repository doesn't exist	Verify the repository URL and try again
Access denied	Repository requires authentication	Ensure the URL is correct and the repository is public
Network timeout	Connection to Git server failed	Check your internet connection; try resubmitting
Invalid file format	Uploaded extension file is corrupted or missing manifest.json	Ensure the file contains a valid manifest.json and resubmit

Resubmitting After Failure

To resubmit after a failure:

1. Go back to Submit a Repository or Submit a Browser Extension
2. Review your submission details
3. Correct any issues and submit again

Monitoring Multiple Submissions

If you've submitted multiple repositories or extensions:

1. Return to the Dashboard to see all your submissions
2. Each submission shows its current status
3. Click any submission to view its detailed Repository Status page or report

Next Steps

• View Your Report: Once analysis is complete, see View Security Reports
• Schedule Future Scans: Set up automated periodic scans in Scan Scheduling

Troubleshooting

Status Not Updating

The status page shows "Analyzing" but hasn't changed for a long time

• Auto-refresh may be temporarily paused if there's a network issue
• Try manually refreshing the page (F5 or Ctrl+R)
• Check your internet connection
• If the issue persists, contact support

Page Won't Load

Cannot access the Repository Status page

• Ensure you're logged in to your RepoRisk account
• Verify the repository/extension hasn't been deleted
• Clear your browser cache and try again
• Try a different browser or incognito/private window
