Subprojects do not respect --decisions-file (at least for NPM)

[nkoterba]

Have a directory with:

--- package.json
+-- doc
    --- dependency_decisions.yml
+-- src
     +--- module1
          --- package.json 

My dependency_decisions.yml file excludes npm "devDependencies":

- - :ignore_group
  - devDependencies
  - :who: 
    :why: 
    :when: 2015-07-30 01:49:51.659344000 Z

However, when I run the following command, the "devDependencies" are not ignored.

license_finder report --subprojects=./src/module1 --decisions-file=./doc/dependency_decisions.yml

The above command, when executed, will list all the dependencies in src/module, including devDependencies. It appears that --subprojects is not respecting the decisions file.

Thanks for reporting this! I haven't reproduced this yet, but I totally believe it's happening, looking at the code. I'll dig in.

I have the same problem. When I run the following command,the "devDependencies" are not ignored.

license_finder --project-path=plugins/questionnaire --decisions-file=license_finder/doc/dev-decisions.yml

There is only one option(previous one) effected. Could you help me, thank you very much!
