Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • packages/config/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.

This change replaces the workspace dependency reference workspace:^ with a fixed version 0.1.1, which breaks the monorepo's dependency structure. In a monorepo, workspace references ensure that local versions of packages are used during development rather than versions from the npm registry.

While addressing the security vulnerability is important, changing the dependency format will cause the package to use the external npm version instead of the local workspace version. This can lead to:

  1. Version inconsistencies across the monorepo
  2. Difficulty in testing local changes across packages
  3. Potential build and runtime issues

Consider addressing the security vulnerability while maintaining the workspace reference format. This might involve updating the local package version while keeping the workspace:^ syntax intact.

"@backstage/types": "0.1.1",
