Active scan not running

Hi, while running the below command using headless burp, only proxy service is getting started and scan is not running.
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-blr1-02:/home/infosec/BurpSuitePro# 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=/data/burp/project.burp -c c/data/burp/config.xml

Hi @sivassk7 , for active scanning similar to Anand's scenario D, (https://github.com/NetsOSS/headless-burp/#scenario-d-scan-more-than-just-get-requests-use-data-derived-from-running-functional-tests-as-input-to-the-scan)

...before running the headless burp I think you need to open Burp UI normally and set up a .burp project and set up an active scan. In my case, I set up a sitemap and one active scan task but exit out of Burp BEFORE the scan task even finishes crawling. I then use this .burp file as the input for --project-file. Let us know if performing this step helps you.
