Troubleshooting PR Checks

Open source and licensing
If you come across false positive or false negative results, you can take action to diagnose and report the issue.
Scenario
Description
Action
False positive
The result is marked as Failed by Snyk because it has identified an issue that does not actually exist.
​Contact support to update the dependency version if Snyk has misidentified an issue for a package version.
If you want to push the changes forward, you can mark the result as successful (see Example: fix dependency issues with PR Checks).
False negative
The result is marked as Passed by Snyk because it failed to detect an issue that actually exists.
To address the issue, you can submit a vulnerability disclosure.

If Snyk did not detect the vulnerability due to a misidentified package or the absence of code trace, you can contact support.
Code analysis
The following table lists code analysis errors and how to address them.
