Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/code-coverage/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR modifies the dependency resolution strategy for the code-coverage plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers for three Backstage packages. The changes convert @backstage/core-components and @backstage/core-plugin-api from workspace:^ to version 0.1.0, and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react from workspace:^ to version 0.0.1. This transition from monorepo workspace resolution to pinned versions suggests the plugin is being prepared for standalone distribution or addressing specific version compatibility requirements.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/code-coverage/package.json Changed dependency resolution from workspace protocol to fixed versions: @backstage/core-components and @backstage/core-plugin-api pinned to 0.1.0, and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react pinned to 0.0.1.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix several vulnerabilities by pinning versions of @backstage dependencies. However, these changes are incorrect for this monorepo setup. They replace workspace: specifiers with very old, hardcoded versions, which will break the local package linking provided by Yarn workspaces and likely cause the application to fail at build or runtime. I have left a critical comment suggesting to revert these changes and instead use Yarn's resolutions feature to address the transitive dependency vulnerabilities.

These changes from the Snyk bot are incorrect and will likely break the application. The warning in the PR description, 'Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging,' is a strong indicator that these dependency changes are causing issues.

By changing the versions from workspace:^ to pinned old versions, you are breaking the Yarn workspace linking. Instead of using the local, up-to-date packages from this monorepo, this change will force yarn to download very old versions of these packages from the npm registry.

For example:

  • @backstage/core-components is being pinned to 0.1.0, but the version in this repository is 0.13.4-next.0.
  • @backstage/core-plugin-api is being pinned to 0.1.0, but the version in this repository is 1.5.3.
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react is being pinned to 0.0.1, but the version in this repository is 1.8.1-next.0.

This will almost certainly lead to build failures, type mismatches, and runtime errors due to using severely outdated dependencies.

The correct approach to fix these vulnerabilities is likely to use Yarn's resolutions field in the root package.json to force an upgrade of the vulnerable transitive dependencies. Please revert these changes and investigate that approach instead.
