does the unique option work?

Trying the unique option and I don't see any difference in the output. Thanks!

Hi @AndrewTriesToCode ,

Thank you for the issue. I've created a unit test to check if the unique functionality is broken and it looks ok.
PR: https://github.com/tomchavakis/nuget-license/pull/52/files

Moreover, I've tested a project with the same library and the unique flag just return the library once.
Example:

dotnet-project-licenses -i projectFolder -u

Could you please tell me more about it or an example?
Thanks!

Does unique works only when name and version both are unique? I have the following example output for one of the projects

Hi @umairjadoon,

If the unique flag is active, then the tool groups the libraries by package name and the package version. From your output, I can see that both are different. If you need this functionality, I can add a new parameter to the cli tool in order to group by name only. What do you think?

[umairjadoon]

Hi @tomchavakis thanks alot for reply. Your tool helped a great deal and i think that would be great to have group by name possibility. Also is it possible to get the packages per individual project in solution? or when one uses list of projects in json file then per project separation list?

Hi @umairjadoon,

Thanks for the reply and your kind words. I would try to update the unique functionality asap as you proposed.

Hi @umairjadoon,

You can check the new functionality at the next PR
