NOTE If you are migrating from a version earlier than v2, please first migrate to v2 before continuing.
Licensed v3 includes a breaking change to bundler dependency enumeration when using the executable form of licensed. Bundler dependency enumeration will no longer work with the licensed executable as of 3.0.0.
If your project does not use bundler, or if you already install the licensed gem, you are not affected by this breaking change.
When using licensed v3 with bundler dependencies, licensed must be installed from its gem. This can be accomplished with gem install
, or by adding licensed to a bundler gem file.
Using licensed to enumerate bundler dependencies in a GitHub Actions workflow will require ruby to be available in the actions VM environment. Ruby can be setup in an actions workflow using ruby/setup-ruby(preferred) or actions/setup-ruby(deprecated).
If you are using licensed in a GitHub Actions workflow, github/setup-licensed has been updated according to this breaking change. setup-licensed
will install the licensed gem when ruby is available, or the licensed executable when ruby is not available. Alternatively, you can gem install
licensed directly as an actions step.
This is an example workflow definition that runs github/licensed-ci's opinionated license compliance workflow in CI. It includes jobs that demonstrate installing licensed using
