New bug when Populating the database

[hsninbil]

I reinstall Populating the database of CVE-Search, but no update

root@lab-virtual-machine:/opt/cve/cve-search# ./sbin/db_mgmt_cpe_dictionary.py -p

Cool story, bro. 🤷‍♂️ You didn't provide any information on your environment nor the versions of CVE-Search & CveXplore you are using. The stack trace was a good start and gave some hints on what might have happened, but you removed it.

During the last two weeks, while fixing bugs and making improvements, I have been running these command several times with the recent dev versions and they are definitely working on, e.g., Ubuntu 22.04, both with most recent pip dependencies from pip and even with some older stable libraries from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS repositories. Hence, there must be something wrong with your undisclosed environment, but without the details no-one can but guess.

You previous message contained some insights. I bet it's your pyopenssl library which is too old, have you tried

python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade

I can't either populate the database. Environment cve-search 5.0.3, Debian 12. In Debian the MongoDB is pretty old 4.4.27 but I don't get any error messages related to that. API key is fine "NVD NIST API Key found!". No error messages during the population process (db_mgmt_cpe_dictionary.py -p;db_mgmt_json.py -p;db_updater.py -c). However, there are 2 warnings during update:

WARNING  - No records found in the mongodb cpe collection.
WARNING  - No records found in the mongodb cves collection.

Only notable thing in update_populate.log is
DBUpdater - INFO - Skipping non-configured source: cpeother

UPDATE
The reason was that in an example .cvexplore/.env file you have to remove <<>> characters
around NVD_API_KEY.
