Organizing Your Project

For best results, organize your code files properly before uploading:

Best Practices
  • Include All Related Files: Upload all files that are part of your project, including dependencies if possible
  • Maintain Folder Structure: Preserve your project's folder structure when uploading
  • Exclude Unnecessary Files: Remove node_modules, .git folders, build artifacts, and other generated files before uploading
  • Include Configuration Files: Include package.json, requirements.txt, composer.json, or other dependency files
  • Name Files Clearly: Use descriptive file names to help identify issues in reports
Example Project Structure
my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   ├── Header.js
│   │   └── Footer.js
│   ├── utils/
│   │   └── helpers.js
│   └── App.js
├── package.json
└── README.md

Uploading Multiple Files

FixVion can analyze entire projects with multiple files:

Uploading Entire Projects
  1. Select the root folder of your project
  2. FixVion will automatically detect and include all relevant code files
  3. Review the file list to ensure all necessary files are included
  4. Exclude any files you don't want analyzed (build files, dependencies, etc.)
  5. Click "Analyze" to start comprehensive project analysis
File Selection Tips
  • Use the file filter to show only code files
  • Check the file count indicator to see how many files will be analyzed
  • Review the file tree to verify your project structure
  • Remove any accidentally included files before analysis

After Uploading

Once your files are uploaded, you'll see a confirmation screen:

What Happens Next
  1. File Validation: FixVion validates your files and checks for supported formats
  2. Upload Confirmation: Review the list of uploaded files
  3. Analysis Options: Choose analysis depth (quick scan or deep analysis)
  4. Start Analysis: Click "Analyze" to begin the code analysis process
  5. Progress Tracking: Monitor the analysis progress in real-time
  6. Results: View your comprehensive analysis report when complete
Analysis Time
  • Single file: Usually completes in 10-30 seconds
  • Small projects (10-50 files): 1-3 minutes
  • Medium projects (50-200 files): 3-10 minutes
  • Large projects (200+ files): 10-30 minutes

Note: Analysis time depends on file size, complexity, and current server load.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

Upload Issues
  • File Too Large: Split large files or compress your project before uploading
  • Unsupported Format: Check that your file extension is supported. Contact support if you need additional language support
  • Upload Fails: Check your internet connection and try again. Clear browser cache if issues persist
  • Slow Upload: Large projects may take time. Be patient or try uploading in smaller batches
  • Files Not Detected: Ensure files have proper extensions and are not corrupted
