Unclear instructions on how to run with Ida

[paramikoooo]

When I download the last release version , How do I run it with ida pro?
I read README.md but still not understand
I tried to run cwe_checker/CweCheckerParser.py , but Ida Pro 7.4 did not give me any results

The script only imports the already generated cwe_checker results into IDA Pro, so you have to run the cwe_checker first. How to run the cwe_checker and how to use the script to import the results to IDA Pro is explained in the online documentation here. If it is still unclear after reading the instructions there, please tell me!

I will leave the issue open until we updated the readme. We need to overhaul it anyway.

I have a suggestion how loading and running these scripts can be autotested. There exist a project python-idb that allows to open IDB files without IDA Pro itself, and some basic IDAPython-like subset of the API. Depending on the functions used it might be useful for this purpose.
