Scan starts but does not appear in the scan list

[naoxide95]

Hi!
I'm working with Burpsuite v2021.3.2, I have python 2.7 installed, also added jython 2.7.2 to Burpsuite extensions. SQLiPy is installed with the last available version, SQLMAP API is also running.
The problem is that when I set the scan parameters and configuration, and click "Start Scan", nothing is shown in the scan list in the "SQLMAP logs" tab.
I am running Java SE 14, with python 2.7
I have tried many things but none solved the issue.

Note: I can see a new python process appear in the windows task manager every time I start a scan, but nothing shows within the SQLiPy log tab.

In case logs are needed, here they are:

What version of sqlipy are you using? Has it worked before for you (previous versions of the tool or on previous versions of Burp)?

It's not showing up because, as noted, it believes that the scan failed to start. Based on the output, it is successfully creating the task and setting the options for the task, but when it attempts to run/start the task sqlmapapi either doesn't respond in time or doesn't respond with success = true (roughly line 1538). It appears as though it eventually does start though based on sqlmap debug logs. Does your system have high utilization when this happens?

Does sqlipy work on any other sites or pages? You should actually see two python processes, as one will be for sqlmapapi and one will be for the scan - do you see two after the scan is started?

[codewatchorg]

What version of sqlmap are you using? Have you tried using the version bundled with the extension?

You are using a non-bundled version, and in the past updates to sqlmap aren't always reflected in the API and break things. I recommend attempting a scan using the version included with the extension.

-I'm using sqlipy v0.8.2

• This is my first time trying to run the extension, I never tried previous versions of the tool with any version of Burp.
• The system is almost at 1% utilization during testing the tool (running nothing but Burp).
• Yes, a new Python process appears right after I start the scan, and it stays there, until I manually end the process, or wait for it to automatically close after a while.
• I tried both sqlmap versions, the bundled version, and another version that I have downloaded from the official website.
• I have tried different targets, but still the same.
• I copied same sqlmap command generated by the tool, pasted it manually into sqlmap and it normally started testing.
  This is a log for a new test I performed just now (target links removed by me):

and here are some screenshots attached, just in case:

I hope that helps.

[codewatchorg]

I have the same version of Burp, the extension, and jython installed and cannot replicate this issue. The only difference is that I am using Java 11.

Can you add a few lines of code to the extension on your system to troubleshoot? First, at the top, please add:
import traceback.

Next, there is a try block that attempts to start a scan beginning around line #1533, that has a print statement around line #1548. Can you comment out that line and add:
print 'SQLmap start response was: ' + str(resp) + '\n'

Then, in the 'except' block just below, comment out the print statement and replace with:
traceback.format_exc()

My assumption is that for some reason the check is failing completely and hitting that exception. Why I don't know, but the exception should give me the details I need.
