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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/techdocs-addons-test-utils/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 two security vulnerabilities by pinning several dependencies to older versions. However, this approach introduces significant downgrades that are marked as breaking changes and will likely disrupt the functionality of the techdocs-addons-test-utils plugin. I've provided a comment with a safer alternative using Yarn's resolutions to upgrade the vulnerable transitive dependencies without introducing breaking changes to your direct dependencies. Additionally, as noted in the PR description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a necessary step for any dependency change.

critical

These changes introduce significant downgrades to several @backstage packages, which are likely to be breaking changes and could cause runtime errors or unexpected behavior. For example, @backstage/plugin-search-react is being downgraded from a version compatible with 1.6.4-next.0 (from the workspace) to 0.1.0.

A safer approach to fix the underlying vulnerabilities in ajv and qs is to use Yarn's resolutions feature in your root package.json. This allows you to force specific versions of transitive dependencies across your entire project without downgrading your direct dependencies.

I recommend reverting these changes and adding the following to your root package.json:

"resolutions": {
  "ajv": "^8.12.0",
  "qs": "^6.11.1"
}

After adding the resolutions, run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file.

    "@backstage/plugin-search-react": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/plugin-techdocs": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/plugin-techdocs-react": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/test-utils": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/theme": "workspace:^"

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the techdocs-addons-test-utils plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with pinned package versions. Five Backstage dependencies that previously used workspace:^ are now locked to specific versions: @backstage/plugin-search-react (0.1.0), @backstage/plugin-techdocs (0.1.1), @backstage/plugin-techdocs-react (0.1.0), @backstage/test-utils (0.1.1), and @backstage/theme (0.1.1). This change transitions from local workspace dependencies to published package versions, likely as part of release preparation or to improve dependency stability and reproducibility across different environments.
