Pass SPDX licenses from backend to frontend
What does this MR do?
This MR switches us from reling on hard coded licenses in the license compliance page, to ones provided by the backend. The backend runs a cron job to periodically update the SPDX licenses from a publicly available database.
Issue: #37999 (closed)
Also covers the Jest technical debt for: Follow-up: Refactor the rest of add_license_form_spec.js to use shallow mount
Allows for us to render the list of license compliance licenses based on backend provided values instead of a hard coded array in the frontend
Before
Hard coded list that lived in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/assets/javascripts/vue_shared/license_compliance/constants.js#L28
After
Licenses come from backend. Updated via a CRON job.
To run job locally run:
./bin/rails runner 'ImportSoftwareLicensesWorker.new.perform'
