npm audit --only=prod is not ignoring dev dependency vulnerabilities

[mportela]

In our huskyCI/api/config.yaml file the npm audit try to only analyse the prod dependency using the command:

npm audit --only=prod --json > /tmp/results.json 2> /tmp/errorNpmaudit

but this command stay reporting vulnerability from dev dependencies 😭 ...

reference: npm/cli#125

to solve this issue while they don`t have this fixed we could use an intermediate help script that parse the audit json result and generate a final result without the dev dependencies...

npm audit --json >> /tmp/audit_report.json
npm run audit:process

like this:

** to reproduce the npm audit problem ignoring the only=prod :

mkdir test_audit
cd test_audit
npm init
npm i -D [email protected]
npm audit --only=prod

this will print dev dependencies vulnerabilities...
