Direct dependencies not recognized when yarn.lock

[jc911]

The direct dependencies are righ when I use npm install (package-lock.json)
There are many more direct dependencies in bom.json when I use yarn install (yarn.lock)

Maybe the same question as this issue Dependency Tree failing for yarn.lock files

@jc911, could you triage a bit more and let me know the correct list of direct dependencies for yarn. May be there is some yarn command that we can try and mimic?

[jc911]

Thanks for your response!
For example:
https://github.com/yarnpkg/website
The direct dependencies I think should be devDependencies and dependencies in the package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "algolia-sitemap": "^2.1.1",
    "babel-core": "^6.26.3",
    "babel-loader": "^7.1.4",
    "babel-plugin-transform-react-constant-elements": "^6.23.0",
    "babel-plugin-transform-react-inline-elements": "^6.22.0",
    "babel-preset-env": "1.7.0",
    "babel-preset-react": "^6.24.1",
    "babel-preset-stage-2": "^6.24.1",
    "happypack": "^4.0.1",
    "lint-staged": "9.0.0",
    "pre-commit": "^1.2.2",
    "prettier": "^1.13.4",
    "webpack": "^3.5.5",
    "webpack-bundle-analyzer": "^3.3.2",
    "webpack-manifest-plugin": "^1.3.1"
  },

"dependencies": {
    "@haroenv/react-sparklines": "^1.7.1",
    "algoliasearch": "^3.27.1",
    "bootstrap": "^4.0.0-alpha.5",
    "bytes": "^3.0.0",
    "date-fns": "^2.0.0-alpha.7",
    "docsearch.js": "^2.5.2",
    "jquery": "^3.4.0",
    "marked": "^0.4.0",
    "popper.js": "^1.14.3",
    "prop-types": "^15.6.1",
    "qs": "^6.5.2",
    "react": "^16.4.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.4.2",
    "react-instantsearch-dom": "^5.2.0-beta.2",

    "unescape-html": "^1.0.0",
    "unfetch": "^3.0.0",
    "xss": "^1.0.3"
  },

But in the bom.json there are a lot

@jc911 Thank you. Below is the line that needs to be improved to match this behaviour. It is currently matching yarn list command. Would you be interested in contributing a PR?

cdxgen/index.js

Line 2374 in e5d2054

// In case of yarn, yarn list command lists every root package as a direct dependency

[prabhu]

I tested cdxgen with the output of yarn list --depth=0 and found the results to be matching. Closing this bug, since this is not an issue (although I agree that yarn is over-reporting the first level dependencies). You can always feel free to use --required-only and other filters to limit the components in the SBOM.
