Prisma Cloud Application Security: ValueError: path is on mount 'D:', start on mount 'C:' when scanning repositories on different mounts

For Prisma Cloud Application Security while running a scan with Local Checkov/VSCODE/IntelliJ with the following command we observe a mount error in Windows OS.

• Checkov
• Prisma Cloud
• VSCODE
• IntelliJ
• Microsoft Windows OS

Microsoft Windows OS does not have an absolute root directory, unlike Linux/MAC OS. Instead, it has a root directory for each drive. It's not the current directory/drive that's the problem.

Error Example:

ValueError: path is on mount 'D:', start on mount 'C:'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "checkov\main.py", line 849, in <module>
  File "checkov\main.py", line 708, in run
  File "checkov\main.py", line 736, in exit_run
NameError: name 'exit' is not defined
[15920] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

The following can be the possible 3 solutions:

1. Move the entire project to your C: drive and then rerun checkov command
2. First run the command cd D:\ to change current directory to the D drive and then run checkov command
3. Scan with Checkov using Docker/Docker Desktop

If error is ValueError: path is on mount 'E:', start on mount 'C:'

Depending on the path mount Drive i.e 'E:'.

We'll run the command cd E:\ to change current directory to the E drive and then run checkov command.
