Fails to find license information for ignored license

[phrohdoh]

Describe the bug

Before ignoring (via deny.toml) *ring*'s LICENSE, when running cargo deny check I see the following.

Aug 18 07:15:42.345 ERRO unable to determine license with high confidence, src: text=/Users/taryn/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ring-0.14.6/LICENSE,hash=0xbd0eed23, score: 0.6644706, crate: ring@0.14.6

I then add the following to my deny.toml.

[[licenses.ignore]]
name = "ring"
license_files = [
    { path = "LICENSE", hash = 0xbd0eed23 },
]

Upon running cargo deny check again I see the following.

Aug 18 07:17:22.179 ERRO could not find any license information, crate: ring@0.14.6

To Reproduce

• have *ring* as a dependency (direct or transitive)
• perform the above-noted steps

Expected Behavior

I expect *ring* to be successfully ignored.

Additional Information

I am using cargo-deny version 0.2.6.

Note that I have the exact same issue with webpki@0.19.1.

Since you are ignoring the only license file cargo-deny won't then have any licenses for ring, so you will also need to add it to the skip list, which you can just copy from this repo's deny.toml .

We have the exact same setup, and I realized this configuration is a little weird, will come up with a way for it to be a little more simple!

[phrohdoh]

Adding it to the skip list doesn't change the behavior.

[Jake-Shadle]

Are you certain it's the skip list for [licenses] (and not commented out)?

[phrohdoh]

You are absolutely correct, I had put it in [bans] instead of [licenses].
Thank you!

Cool, glad I was able to help! I've opened #17 to address the weirdness with configuration.
