Hi,
Burp Suite Professional (v2020.2.1) does not start in Headless mode and showing error as below:

Deleting temporary files - please wait ... Failed to delete temp directory: C:\Users\ue\AppData\Local\Temp\burp3660195510523471222.tmp

and sometimes it shows a blank screen continuously (without any error) until I stop.

I have used the below command:
java -Xmx1G -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath headless-burp-scanner-master-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar;burpsuite_pro.jar burp.StartBurp --unpause-spider-and-scanner --project-file=test.burp -c config.xml -v

Facing same with 2020.5
@anandsudhir any workaround this? is this because of changed scan and spider functionality of burp?

Hey guys have you solved your issue: if yes can you help me with my issue

I have Burp pro version with headless burp extension, I saw the documentation and downloaded code and build and copied the snapshot jar file to burp installation directory. Using the below command and getting the error:

D:\Installer>"C:\Program Files\BurpSuitePro\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xmx4G -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath headless-burp-proxy-master-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:burpsuite_pro.jar burp.StartBurp --project-file=web-scan.burp -c config.xml -v
Error: Could not find or load main class burp.StartBurp
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: burp.StartBurp

Using below command as mentioned in documentation but it is stuck.
