Can't start Burp-rest-api with own project-file

[lestatk0]

i tried to start gradlew bootRun -Dproject-file=/opt/project-fil.burp
but I got
Launching the Burp with options: [--project-file=/tmp/temp-project-dir-876864466082593177/temp-project.burp, --config-file=/tmp/project-options1095584310114412893.json, --user-config-file=/tmp/user-options6426525993457471961.json]
Why BURP started with temp project-file?

I have this issue as well. Have you been able to correct it?

This issue is to do with the fix applied here : #52
Changing

if (!burpEdition.equalsIgnoreCase("free") && !args.containsOption(PROJECT_FILE))

in BurpService.java is going to enable you to use a project file if you have burp suite pro but is going to make it not work with burp free , this is just the easy cheap fix if you only use it with burp pro :)

@oucema001 @lestatk0 With the addition of #63 , you can run the following :

gradlew bootRun -PappArgs="['--project-file=/opt/project-fil.burp']"

The burp-rest-api literally expects a "--project-file" argv but the gradlew bootRun -Dproject-file sends it in a different way (haven't checked how but most likely just like...-Dproject-file which makes the rest api uncomfortable using it) .
Enjoy!
