The upstream depenendency-review-action uses the change's
package_url
(as returned from the dependency graph API) to match against the exclusions passed viaallow-dependencies-licenses
. However, some changes do not includepackage_url
, but they can still result in the action failing a license check as the check itself doesn't rely onpackage_url
. Currently there's no mechanism in place to exclude a dependency from the license check if the package_url is empty.I created a fork of the action and added a fallback mechanism that parses
source_repository_url
to attempt to match based on the repository name using thegithub
PURL type. Soallow-dependencies-licenses
could include, for example,pkg:github/owner/repo
and that would match a change withsource_repository_url: "https://github.com/owner/repo"
.This doesn't cover all cases; if
source_repository_url
is empty or doesn't point to a github-hosted repository then it will still fail to match, but this should cover a good number of cases.
