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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-yeoman/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 three security vulnerabilities by upgrading dependencies. The main change is the upgrade of yeoman-environment to version 4.0.0, which is a major version bump and should be tested for breaking changes.

However, the PR also changes internal @backstage package dependencies from workspace:^ to specific pinned versions. This is likely an error by the automation and goes against the monorepo's dependency management strategy, potentially causing build issues or the use of outdated internal packages. I've left a comment suggesting to revert this part of the change.

Additionally, as noted in the PR description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated. After adjusting the dependencies in package.json, you will need to run yarn install to regenerate the lockfile before merging.

Changing the versions of these internal @backstage packages from workspace:^ to pinned versions is likely an incorrect change by the Snyk bot. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, workspace:^ ensures that you are always using the latest version of the code from within the monorepo. Pinning to specific versions breaks this and can lead to using stale code and potential build issues. This is also likely the reason Snyk failed to update the yarn.lock file.

It's recommended to revert these changes and keep using workspace:^ to maintain consistency with other packages in the repository.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the scaffolder-backend-module-yeoman plugin. The changes transition from workspace protocol references to fixed version numbers for three internal Backstage dependencies (@backstage/config, @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node, and @backstage/types), indicating a move away from monorepo workspace setup or preparation for independent package publishing. Additionally, the yeoman-environment dependency receives a major version upgrade from v3.9.1 to v4.0.0, which may introduce breaking changes and new features from the Yeoman ecosystem.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-yeoman/package.json Updated three Backstage internal dependencies from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed versions (@backstage/config: 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node: 0.2.0, @backstage/types: 0.1.1); upgraded yeoman-environment from ^3.9.1 to ^4.0.0 (major version bump).
