Overlooks All PnP Dependencies #250

Open Kurt-von-Laven opened 3 years ago

Kurt-von-Laven commented 3 years ago

When you run license-checker in a project that uses Plug'n'Play dependencies, the default in Yarn 2, rather than a node_modules directory, it only sees the package.json of the project itself and doesn't find any of the licenses of any of the dependencies.

You might want to check out this plugin for yarn https://github.com/tophat/yarn-plugin-licenses

Yes, I am a contributor to that plugin. It doesn't work for us on Yarn >3.0.0 unfortunately on account of tophat/yarn-plugin-licenses#21. I recommend Pivotal's LicenseFinder to others who share this problem since support for Yarn v2+ was recently merged to address pivotal/LicenseFinder#912.
