Net new issues (delta) scan troubleshooting

Problem

Net new issues scans fail to find issues on npm-based reference scans.

The net new issues filter in the IDEs compares the software Projects in two folders or two branches from a Git project. Some package managers, such as NuGet, pip, npm, and so on, require specific manifest files to be generated before you can perform a scan analysis. These files, for example, package-lock.json or obj/project.assets.json for NuGet, are typically generated by the Project's compiler or running a specific installation command.

Solution

Required manifest files must be generated before you can perform a scan analysis. These files, for example, package-lock.json or obj/project.assets.json for NuGet must have been generated on the current branch or folder and either:

• Be committed to the reference branch before the scan

• Be prepared (compiled) into a different directory, that will be used as a reference folder for Snyk scan

Choose the reference branch or folder
