Add a linting functionality #221

Open stherold opened 1 year ago

stherold commented 1 year ago

Since you already did a great job finding all licenses (Kudos), it would be easy to also verify that the dependencies all have licenses that wre whitelisted somewhere. Somewhere could be in the config file or a separate file.

I got the idea from here which uses decision files similar to the one blelow to lint licenses. But that tool doesn't seem to work properly with iOS dependency managers.

Example Decision File

Do you think this is an addition that could make it into LicensePlist?

@stherold

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I feel it is out of the scope of the functionality this tool should provide 🤔

stherold commented 12 months ago

Okay thanks for the information. We will then use one of the export options to get the detected licenses by LicensePlist and write a script to do that task on our side.

One question though, what do you think about a JSON export option since that is easier to parse as the tooling is more popular than with CSV.

I think it is nice to have feature 👍

stherold commented 12 months ago

Should we keep it in this ticket or open a new one?

I've closed this issue. You can create a pull request directly without an issue for CSV option support 🙏
