[Sep 28, 2022] While I am trying to generate an SBOM for my NPM project, I am getting an error as shown below
[INFO] Detection time: 0.1139456 seconds.
[INFO] Scan Manifest file: /tmp/ScanManifest_20220927150421.json
##[error]Encountered an error while generating the manifest.
##[error]Error details: Unable to generate a package name based on provided parameters. Please provide the package name in the 'PackageName' parameter.
While I am providing my entire NPM project source folder to the parameter -b and the folder path where I have my package.json to parameter -bc. Tool is asking me to provide the package name specifically. Can you please let me know whether I am doing anything wrong here.
You need to provide the -PackageName parameter, it should contain the name of the actual package for which the sbom is generated. Please follow the list of arguments here: https://github.com/microsoft/sbom-tool/blob/main/docs/sbom-tool-arguments.md
