Research direction

Open package.json and inspect the package author metadata referenced by the SBOM error. Compare the author and contributors fields with the linked npm package schema, then verify that the published metadata contains one author and that the tooling no longer reports the package as invalid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When producing SBOMs your package throws and error in tooling:

["Gareth Jones [email protected], Huang Yichao [email protected]"] for package:["streamroller"] found at path:["......\node_modules\streamroller\package.json"]. This may indicate an invalid npm package author, and author will not be registered.

The npm schema supports one author and multiple contributors.
