What it does

Related issue: #14127

The Eclipse Foundation Gitlab token, required for dash-licenses to automatically open IP ticket for suspicious license in dependencies. is about to expire. Until it's replaced, we can have the workflow use the basic mode, where dependecies with suspicious licenses are only listed, and have to be handled offline [1].

[1]: To have dash-licenses help with opening IP tickets automatically
e.g. after a PR license check workflow failure. Any committer can
generate a token from EF Gitlab at the link below and set it in
an environment variable, and then use it when running dash-licenses
from their laptop.

e.g.

theia$ git checkout && yarn
theia$ export DASH_LICENSES_PAT="<token>"
theia$ yarn license:check:review

Create your personal token here, with scopes "api":
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens

How to test

Confirm that the license check for this PR passes (assuming it passes on master) or at least runs to completion and reports suspicious dependencies.

update: to test what happens when there are dependencies that do not pass the dash-license check, I added a temporary commit after performing a yarn upgrade locally. The License check gracefully failed, as expected:
https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/actions/runs/10739546336/job/29785551838?pr=14145#step:5:146

update2: temporary commit removed from PR

Follow-ups

This commit could be reverted if a new Gitlab token is set to replace the expired one, saved as a secret in this repo: secrets.DASH_LICENSES_PAT
