youtrackdb
YouTrackDB is a general-use object-oriented graph database with storage format native to handle graph relations. YouTrackDB supports Gremlin queries and ACID transactions. YTDB supports both embedded and client-server deployment models.

youtrackdb runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 20 minutes and hit 2 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
YouTrackDB builds and all 1326 tests pass across examples, core, and tests modules after downloading JDK 21 and skipping the spotless-check formatting phase.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- JDK 21 not pre-installed on the system2 minutes
- spotless-maven-plugin required a baseline reference that does not exist (No such reference 'spotless-baseline')1 minute
- Install time
- 20 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 63 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 2 hit, 2 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- mvn test -pl examples -Dspotless.check.skip=true: 5 tests, 0 failures, all produce correct output (schema creation, CRUD, YQL queries, MATCH, inheritance, sequences). mvn test -pl tests -Dspotless.check.skip=true: 1320 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 117 skipped. mvn test -pl core -Dtest=GlobalConfigurationTest -Dspotless.check.skip=true: 26 tests, 0 failures.

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Installed in 20 minutes.
- Recovered from all 2 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/youtrackdb)Questions
- Does youtrackdb run?
- Yes. youtrackdb runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 20 minutes, hitting 2 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test youtrackdb?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 4c875a0f195b. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test youtrackdb?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.16: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does youtrackdb take to install?
- 20 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does youtrackdb need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing youtrackdb?
- 2 things broke in the recorded run, and 2 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- Where is the evidence for youtrackdb?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
