Some packages not included (e.g. ramda)

[abianche]

Hi,

I can't seem to understand why some packages are not included in the generated json.

In a specific case, I am using ramda, which I have as prod dependency, and to actually include it I had to specify it in the configuration:
includePackages: () => ["node_modules/ramda"]

Actually, by adding all my prod dependencies into the includePackages property (automatically read from my package.json) I can see that I am missing on 10 licenses.

Why is that? What's the criteria for excluding those licenses?
Thanks!

Hey Alessio!

Can you provide me with a reproducing example?

Hey!

For the reproduction, I created a new Next.js project, and just added Ramda dependency: https://github.com/abianche/wlp-issue-1092.

Just execute npm install and npm run build, then you will find the licenses output in .next/oss-licenses.json.
In next.config.ts you can see the webpack configuration where the LicensePlugin is added. I also included my workaround with the includePackages (commented out).

With the default configuration I get this output (5 licenses):
oss-licenses.json

With my workaround I get this (6 licenses, incl. Ramda):
oss-licenses.json

If you need it, I can also update it with all the dependencies I am using in my other project, as ther are more missing there.

Thanks for checking this out!

Next.js is pretty complex to setup, because it offers a mixture of static site generation, server side rendering and client-side hydration. Which package licenses are you interested in? Those running on the server, or those being sent into your users browsers?
