Expected behaviour

Pact should not cause issues in Fossa vulnerability scanning software

Actual behaviour

In our Fossa step in CI, we are getting this error

This license is denied by your licensing policy.
This issue exists in a transitive dependency.

for version ramda (0.28.0)
When i run yarn why ramda I get:

├─ @pact-foundation/pact@npm:12.5.0
│  └─ ramda@npm:0.28.0 (via npm:^0.28.0)
│

I suspect this may be the same issue as
#962
and #880

Because Fossa is required in CI, this blocks our CI for all PRs moving forward

Ramda just needed an update. Strange snyk/dependabot didn't pick this up yet.

In any case, it will be fixed in the next release.

@mefellows my team is blocked completely by this, do you have an ETA on when that next release might be?

mefellows commented

You should really build your CI systems to be resilient to such things. This is a development dependency, what's the actual risk? It's just security theatre.

There are ways to replace packages that are vulnerable using yarn, I'd suggest you do that for now as a workaround until the next release is out.
