KeyNotFoundException when using pgscan

[v.makkenze_6348]

Hi,

We started using Proget and pgscan for our frontend code but get a KeyNotFoundException exception in pgscan\Inedo.DependencyScan\NpmDependencyScanner.cs line 81

string version = npmDependencyPackage.Value.GetProperty("version").GetString();

This is the bit of json from the lock-file it fails on and as you can see there is no version attribute.

"node_modules/@vicrea-neuron/eslint-plugin": {
  "resolved": "packages/eslint-plugin",
  "link": true
},

With kind regards,

Valentijn

Hi @v-makkenze_6348 ,

This is the first time I've seen a "link": true type entry in a lock file.

The docs for package-lock.json aren't very clear for what this signifies, aside from:

A flag to indicate that this is a symbolic link. If this is present, no other fields are specified, since the link target will also be included in the lockfile.

Not sure how a "link" entry like that gets added to a lock file, but I think we should just skip it then? Basically add code in that loop that does this?

if (npmDependencyPackage.Value.TryGetProperty("link", out var link) && link.GetBoolean() == true)
  continue;

What do you think?

Cheers,
Dean

This was a package that came from a local workspace, skipping seems the right solution as you can never check these packages for vulnerabilities.
