callbacks.doActiveScan not triggering active scan

Hi Team, I have following code for performing a active scan for a particular request but this is not triggering the active scan instead this throws error as below:- ``` import burp import sys from burp import IBurpExtender, IContextMenuFactory, IHttpListener class BurpExtender(IBurpExtender, IHttpListener): def registerExtenderCallbacks(self, callbacks): self._callbacks = callbacks self._helpers = callbacks.getHelpers() callbacks.registerHttpListener(self) callbacks.setExtensionName("Hello Extension") host = 'xxx.xxx.xxx' port = 443 #trying to scan last request in proxy history request_2scan = (callbacks.getProxyHistory()[-1]).request useHttps = True callbacks.doActiveScan(host, port, useHttps, request_2scan) ``` Error:- ``` java.lang.RuntimeException: burp.c: NTFS at burp.ee_.a(Unknown Source) at burp.b45.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.b45.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.gtw.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.emx.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor57.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:567) at org.python.core.PyReflectedFunction.__call__(PyReflectedFunction.java:190) at org.python.core.PyObject.__call__(PyObject.java:422) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:187) at org.python.pycode._pyx4.registerExtenderCallbacks$2(C:/Users/e082790/PycharmProjects/BurpExtension/doactivescaninburp.py:20) at org.python.pycode._pyx4.call_function(C:/Users/e082790/PycharmProjects/BurpExtension/doactivescaninburp.py) at org.python.core.PyTableCode.call(PyTableCode.java:173) at org.python.core.PyBaseCode.call(PyBaseCode.java:306) at org.python.core.PyBaseCode.call(PyBaseCode.java:197) at org.python.core.PyFunction.__call__(PyFunction.java:485) at org.python.core.PyMethod.instancemethod___call__(PyMethod.java:237) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:228) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:218) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:213) at org.python.core.PyObject._jcallexc(PyObject.java:3565) at org.python.core.PyObject._jcall(PyObject.java:3598) at org.python.proxies.__main__$BurpExtender$0.registerExtenderCallbacks(Unknown Source) at burp.ghy.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:515) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1130) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:630) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:831) java.lang.RuntimeException: burp.c: NTFS at burp.ee_.a(Unknown Source) at burp.b45.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.b45.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.gtw.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at burp.emx.doActiveScan(Unknown Source) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor57.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:567) at org.python.core.PyReflectedFunction.__call__(PyReflectedFunction.java:190) at org.python.core.PyObject.__call__(PyObject.java:422) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:187) at org.python.pycode._pyx4.registerExtenderCallbacks$2(C:/Users/e082790/PycharmProjects/BurpExtension/doactivescaninburp.py:20) at org.python.pycode._pyx4.call_function(C:/Users/e082790/PycharmProjects/BurpExtension/doactivescaninburp.py) at org.python.core.PyTableCode.call(PyTableCode.java:173) at org.python.core.PyBaseCode.call(PyBaseCode.java:306) at org.python.core.PyBaseCode.call(PyBaseCode.java:197) at org.python.core.PyFunction.__call__(PyFunction.java:485) at org.python.core.PyMethod.instancemethod___call__(PyMethod.java:237) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:228) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:218) at org.python.core.PyMethod.__call__(PyMethod.java:213) at org.python.core.PyObject._jcallexc(PyObject.java:3565) at org.python.core.PyObject._jcall(PyObject.java:3598) at org.python.proxies.__main__$BurpExtender$0.registerExtenderCallbacks(Unknown Source) at burp.ghy.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:515) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1130) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:630) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:831) ```

Hi Is your extension trying to interact with your file system at all? On load of the extension, does the proxy history contain any items to send to the Scanner?

Is your extension trying to interact with your file system at all?---> No extension is not trying to r/w from/to filesystem. It's pretty straight forward where I am trying to get proxyhistory(which is not null...there are 20-30 request in it) and active scan the last endpoint in the proxyhistory. On load of the extension, does the proxy history contain any items to send to the Scanner? ---> Yes

Hi I've tested your extension in Burp v2022.7, after removing your HttpListener, and the function you specify is working as intended. It triggers an extension-driven active audit scan task in the dashboard. Have you added further code to your extension that may be triggering this issue instead?
