Solution

The issue was due to the difference in the file systems used in Windows and Linux machines. Windows uses a backward slash (\) while linux uses the forward slash (/).

The following change was made on the 67th line of the file index.js (found under work folder), to make sure that the CLI works in both the Windows and Linux machines.

var fullcommandline = 'java -jar "'+agentpath+'/HighlightAutomation.jar" --perlInstallDir "'+perlInstallDir+'" --analyzerDir "'+agentpath+'/perl" --workingDir "'+workingdir+'" --sourceDir "'+sourcedir+'" '+exclusionFolders_cmd+' '+technologies_cmd+' '+skipUpload_cmd+' '+snapshotLabel_cmd+' ';
