pipenv check --auto-install --scan fails

[BehnazMoradabadi]

Issue description

pipenv check --auto-install --scan --use-installed --key -API_KEY fails with an output value error during the vulnerability scan.

Expected result

The command should successfully complete the vulnerability scan and display the results.

Actual result

Error: Invalid value for '--output' (env var: 'None'): <ScanOutput.SCREEN: 'screen'> is not one of 'json', 'spdx', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'html', 'screen', 'none'.

And if I run pipenv check --auto-install --scan --use-installed --key API_KEY --ouput json

it gives

Checking PEP 508 requirements...
Passed!
Scanning installed packages for vulnerabilities...
Created temporary requirements file: /tmp/pipenv_safety_6j89ag78.txt
Wrong format for the JSON report.

Steps to replicate

pipenv check --auto-install --scan --use-installed --key -API_KEY
