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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/tech-insights-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 resolve several security vulnerabilities by updating the @backstage/types dependency. While addressing security issues is important, the proposed change from "workspace:^" to a pinned version "0.1.1" is incorrect. This constitutes a downgrade from the version 1.1.0 available in the monorepo workspace and goes against the project's dependency management strategy, which can lead to build failures and runtime inconsistencies. Furthermore, the PR description explicitly warns that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a critical step that must be performed manually to ensure dependencies are correctly resolved. I have added a specific comment with a suggestion to fix the dependency version.

critical

The dependency @backstage/types is being pinned to 0.1.1, which is incorrect. The previous value, workspace:^, is used in this monorepo to ensure that the package from the local workspace is used.

  • Incorrect Downgrade: The version of @backstage/types in this workspace is 1.1.0 (as seen in packages/types/package.json). Changing to 0.1.1 is a significant downgrade.
  • Contradicts Changelog: According to plugins/tech-insights-common/CHANGELOG.md, version 0.2.11 of this package (the current version) should depend on @backstage/types@1.1.0.
  • Breaks Monorepo Strategy: This change breaks the intended monorepo dependency strategy and will likely introduce inconsistencies or build issues.

It appears the Snyk bot has misinterpreted the workspace:^ dependency protocol. The correct value should be workspace:^ to use the in-repo version. I recommend reverting this change.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management configuration for the tech-insights-common plugin by pinning the @backstage/types dependency to a specific version. The change transitions from using a workspace protocol reference to an explicit version number (0.1.1), which ensures consistent dependency resolution across different environments and indicates preparation for independent package publishing. This is a focused dependency management update that affects how the package resolves its type definitions at install time.
