No lock file exists error with pnpm audit

[rnarayana]

Describe the bug I am pointing dependencyCheck to a package.json, for which there exists a pnpm-lock.yaml. However I get the warning: [WARN] No lock file exists - this will result in false negatives; please run npm install --package-lock The analysis itself happens without an issue

Version of dependency-check used 7.0.4

Try to add the path to pnpm executable --pnpm <path>

[jeremylong]

Or try just scanning the lock file?

dependency-check.bat --project Backend --scan .\dispatch\IntegrationService\pnpm-lock.yaml --out .\dependency-check -l depcheck.txt --nodeAuditSkipDevDependencies
