Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • packages/techdocs-cli/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.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the techdocs-cli package by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage packages. The changes pin @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, @backstage/config to 0.1.1, and @backstage/plugin-techdocs-node to 1.12.11. This modification ensures consistent dependency resolution across different environments and prepares the package for potential publication by removing workspace-relative dependency references.

Changes

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix three security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in packages/techdocs-cli/package.json. However, the proposed changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ package references with pinned versions. This is a critical issue in a monorepo context as it breaks the intended dependency resolution, potentially leading to build failures and inconsistencies. I've added a critical comment with a suggestion to revert these changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by other means, such as updating the root dependencies that are the source of the vulnerabilities, or using yarn's resolutions feature.

critical

This change replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions. In a monorepo setup, this is incorrect and can lead to significant issues. The workspace:^ protocol ensures that local packages from the monorepo are used, allowing for a consistent development environment. Pinning to specific versions will cause yarn to fetch these packages from the npm registry instead of using the local workspace versions, which can break the build and introduce inconsistencies. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the underlying dependencies or using resolutions in the root package.json, not by pinning workspace packages.
