Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/example-todo-list-common/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.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by upgrading @backstage/plugin-permission-common. However, the proposed change of pinning the version to 0.1.0 in plugins/example-todo-list-common/package.json is incorrect for this monorepo structure. It replaces the workspace:^ protocol, which is essential for linking local packages in a yarn workspace environment. This change would cause the project to use an outdated, published version of the package instead of the local one, likely breaking the build and local development. The change should be reverted to maintain the integrity of the monorepo's dependency management.

critical

Changing the dependency from workspace:^ to a specific version 0.1.0 is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It breaks the yarn workspace linking, causing this package to use an old, published version of @backstage/plugin-permission-common instead of the local one (which is version 0.7.7 in this workspace). This will likely lead to build failures or runtime issues due to version mismatches. The workspace:^ protocol should be preserved to ensure local packages are correctly linked.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the dependency management for the example-todo-list-common plugin by transitioning from a workspace protocol reference to a fixed version for the @backstage/plugin-permission-common package. The change replaces the flexible workspace:^ reference with a pinned version 0.1.0, indicating a shift from local monorepo development to using published package versions. This type of change is typically made when preparing a package for publication or when standardizing dependency versions across a distributed package ecosystem.
