Conan

In order to detect dependencies, Trivy searches for conan.lock¹.

Licenses

The Conan lock file doesn't contain any license information. To obtain licenses we parse the conanfile.py files from the conan cache directory. To correctly detection licenses, ensure that the cache directory contains all dependencies used.

---

1. The local cache should contain the dependencies used. See licenses. ↩↩

2. conan.lock is default name. To scan a custom filename use file-patterns. ↩↩

3. For conan.lock in version 2, indirect dependencies are included in analysis but not flagged explicitly in dependency tree ↩
