Description

The function restoreRelationships is throwing an InvalidSPDXAnalysisException if an element for the given elementId cannot be found within the addedElements, i.e. the elements of the current SPDX file.

Due to the definition of the SPDX we have a lot relationship types where the order is reversed like CONTAINED_BY, GENERATED_FROM, etc. In this cases I would expect that addedFiles contains the relatedSpdxElement.

Research direction

Start at restoreRelationships and trace how elementId is resolved against addedElements and addedFiles. Check the reversed relationship types named in the report, including CONTAINED_BY and GENERATED_FROM. Done means valid relationships with reversed order resolve their relatedSpdxElement without raising InvalidSPDXAnalysisException.
