5 years ago According to json format specification (e.g. see https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html) either 'command' or 'arguments' field is required, hence ALE should check for both fields and use one of the two and not just try to use the 'command' field. Meanwhile a quick fix can be provided by the following script
which adds the dictionary key "command" to each element of json database generated by 'intercept-build' (https://pypi.org/project/scan-build/), where the value of "command" is obtained by joining the value of "arguments" field (i.e. a list with all arguments) in 'intercept-build' json file
I hope this script can be also useful for fixing this issue directly in ALE,
best regards, Cristiano

What went wrong
ALE is not able to parse some json files for compiling options in a C project and diagnostic information (i.e. warnings and errors) do not show up
Something went wrong in specifically this place, and I also searched through both open and closed issues for the same problem before reporting a bug here.
Are you having trouble configuring ALE? Try asking for help on Stack Exchange or perhaps on Reddit instead. The GitHub issue tracker should be used for reporting bugs or asking for new features.
Reproducing the bug
These are the steps I did to get the issue:
1) I generated the json file from a Makefile by using 'scan-build' utility (installed with 'pip3 install scan-build')
2) I opened a C file of the project but althoug linting is enable according to ALEInfo command no diagnostics information is showing up
Anyway, if I convert the json file to a slightly different format by using 'compdb' utility ( installed via pip3 install compdb) with the command
The json file generated by 'compdb' works well with ALE, hence it seems ALE is not able to parse json file generated by 'scan-build' utility. Could you fixe this issue or am I forced to use compdb?
An extract of the json file generated by scan-build is the following: [ { "arguments": [ "cc", "-c", "-Wall", "-D", "MD_MAC", "-O3", "-U", "MC_IBARRA_SIMPLER", "-D", "HC_ALGO_OPT", "-U", "MC_ELCONST_STRAIGHT", "-U", "MC_BOUNDING_SPHERES", "-U", "MC_ELASTIC_CONSTANTS", "-U", "ELCONST_NEWALGO", "-D", "ALIGN_POT", "-D", "MC_BOND_POS", "-D", "MC_NVE", "-U", "MC_FREEZE_BONDS", "-U", "MC_CLUSTER_MOVE", "-U", "MC_CLUSTER_NPT", "-U", "MC_ALT_ROT", "-D", "MC_FLIP_MOVE", "-U", "MC_OPT_BUILDATOMPOS", "-D", "MCIN_OPT", "-D", "MC_HC", "-D", "MC_SUS", "-U", "MC_CALC_COVADD", "-D", "MD_NO_SYSTEM", "-D", "MC_GRANDCAN", "-D", "MC_SIMUL", "-U", "MD_STANDALONE", "-D", "MD_LXYZ", "-U", "MD_CHAIN_SIM", "-U", "MD_CALC_VBONDING", "-U", "DMD_MULTIPLE_LL", "-D", "MD_DYNAMIC_OPROG", "-U", "MD_CALENDAR_HYBRID", "-D", "MD_SCALEPHI_STAGES", "-D", "MD_OPT_SCALEPHI", "-U", "MD_ALLOW_ONE_IGG_BOND", "-U", "MD_PROTEIN_DESIGN", "-U", "MD_PARANOID_CHECKS", "-D", "MD_GRAZING_TRYHARDER", "-D", "MD_GHOST_IGG", "-D", "MD_RABBIT", "-D", "MD_SAVE_SPOTS", "-D", "MD_SUPERELLIPSOID", "-U", "MD_ABSORPTION", "-U", "MD_FOUR_BEADS", "-D", "MD_BASIC_DT", "-U", "MD_EDHEFLEX_WALL", "-U", "MD_INELASTIC", "-U", "MD_POLYDISP", "-U", "MD_CALC_DPP", "-U", "MD_HE_PARALL", "-D", "MD_BIG_DT", "-D", "MD_ASYM_ITENS", "-D", "EDHE_FLEX", "-D", "MD_PATCHY_HE", "-U", "MD_GLOBALNR", "-D", "MD_GLOBALNRD", "-D", "MD_GLOBALNRNL", "-D", "MD_GLOBALNRDNL", "-U", "MD_USE_CBLAS", "-U", "MD_USE_LAPACK", "-D", "MD_STOREMGL", "-U", "MD_HSVISCO", "-D", "MD_LOADMESH", "-D", "XDISP", "-U", "ATPTENS", "-D", "MOLPTENS", "-U", "ATPRESS", "-I/usr/include/lam", "-I.", "-I/Users/demichel/MDsimul/include", "-I/Users/demichel/MDsimul/commSrc", "-o", "init.o", "init.c" ], "directory": "/Users/demichel/MDsimul/ellipsoid", "file": "init.c" }, [...] ] while an extract of the json file generated by compdb is the following:
