@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend@0.13.0

Minor Changes

Patch Changes

  • 8b048934b: The codeowners processor extracts the username of the primary owner and uses this as the owner field.
    Given the kind isn't specified this is assumed to be a group and so the link to the owner in the about card
    doesn't work. This change specifies the kind where the entity is a user. e.g:

    @iain-b -> user:iain-b

  • ae84b20cf: Revert the upgrade to fs-extra@10.0.0 as that seemed to have broken all installs inexplicably.

  • Updated dependencies

    • @backstage/backend-common@0.8.6
    • @backstage/plugin-search-backend-node@0.4.0

## @backstage/plugin-catalog-react@0.3.0

Minor Changes

  • 976b61080: Updated the software templates list page (ScaffolderPage) to use the useEntityListProvider hook from #5643. This reduces the code footprint, making it easier to customize the display of this page, and consolidates duplicate approaches to querying the catalog with filters.

    • The useEntityTypeFilter hook has been updated along with the underlying EntityTypeFilter to work with multiple values, to allow more flexibility for different user interfaces. It's unlikely that this change affects you; however, if you're using either of these directly, you'll need to update your usage.
    • SearchToolbar was renamed to EntitySearchBar and moved to catalog-react to be usable by other entity list pages
    • UserListPicker now has an availableTypes prop to restrict which user-related options to present

Patch Changes

  • d84778c25: Store filter values set in EntityListProvider in query parameters. This allows selected filters to be restored when returning to pages that list catalog entities.
  • e13f0fb9d: Fix EntityTypeFilter so it produces unique case-insensitive set of available types

## @backstage/plugin-jenkins@0.5.0

Minor Changes

  • 6c7f00eb0: ## Extract an entity-oriented Jenkins Backend

    Change the Jenkins plugin from talking directly with a single Jenkins instance (via the proxy) to having a specific
    backend plugin which talks to the Jenkins instances.

    Existing users of the Jenkins plugin will need to configure a Jenkins backend instead of a proxy.
    Typically, this means creating a src/plugins/jenkins.ts file, adding a reference to it to src/index.ts and changing app-config.yaml

    jenkins.ts

    ```typescript
    import {
    createRouter,
    DefaultJenkinsInfoProvider,
    } from '@backstage/plugin-jenkins-backend';
    import { CatalogClient } from '@backstage/catalog-client';
    import { Router } from 'express';
    import { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';

    export default async function createPlugin({
    logger,
    config,
    discovery,
    }: PluginEnvironment): Promise {
    const catalogClient = new CatalogClient({ discoveryApi: discovery });

    return await createRouter({
    logger,
    jenkinsInfoProvider: new DefaultJenkinsInfoProvider(
    catalogClient,
    config,
    ),
    });
    }
    ```

    app-config.yaml

    For example

    yaml proxy: '/jenkins/api': target: 'https://jenkins.example.com:8080' # your Jenkins URL changeOrigin: true headers: Authorization: Basic ${JENKINS_BASIC_AUTH_HEADER}

    Would become:

    yaml jenkins: baseUrl: https://jenkins.example.com:8080 username: backstage-bot apiKey: ${JENKINS_PASSWORD}

    Change JavaScript API

    As part of the above change, the JavaScript API exposed by the plugin as a possible place for customisation has changed.
    The ApiRef now has an id of plugin.jenkins.service2 and has entity-based functions to match the endpoints exposed by
    the new backend plugin

    Change BuildWithStepsPage route

    The plugin originally provided a route to view a particular build of a particular branch so that if you wanted to view
    the master branch of an entity annotated with 'jenkins.io/github-folder': teamA/artistLookup-build you could typically
    access /catalog/default/component/artist-lookup/ci-cd/run/master/7 but would now have to access
    /catalog/default/component/artist-lookup/ci-cd/build/teamA%2FartistLookup-build%2Fmaster/7

Patch Changes

  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react@0.3.0

## @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend@0.14.0

Minor Changes

  • 96fc27698: Updated inputs for the publish:github:pull-request action.

    Now requires a repoUrl instead of separate owner and repo inputs. This aligns with the output of the RepoUrlPicker ui field used by the pull-request sample template.

Patch Changes

  • e75506fe7: Unsubscribe from broker after response is flushed

  • ea1d956ef: Updating fs-extra to 10.0.0 to handle broken symbolic links correctly

  • 31de5f27f: Add new fetch:template action which handles the same responsibilities as fetch:cookiecutter without the external dependency on cookiecutter. For information on migrating from fetch:cookiecutter to fetch:template, see the migration guide in the docs.

  • 84d329e2a: Scaffolder: Added an 'eq' handlebars helper for use in software template YAML files. This can be used to execute a step depending on the value of an input, e.g.:

    yaml steps: id: 'conditional-step' action: 'custom-action' if: '{{ eq parameters.myvalue "custom" }}',

  • ae84b20cf: Revert the upgrade to fs-extra@10.0.0 as that seemed to have broken all installs inexplicably.

  • Updated dependencies

    • @backstage/backend-common@0.8.6

## @backstage/plugin-search-backend-node@0.4.0

Minor Changes

  • 97b2eb37b: Change return value of SearchEngine.index to Promise<void> to support
    implementation of external search engines.

## @backstage/plugin-techdocs@0.10.0

Minor Changes

  • 94a54dd47: Added a migrateDocsCase() method to TechDocs publishers, along with
    implementations for AWS, Azure, and GCS.

    This change is in support of a future update to TechDocs that will allow for
    case-insensitive entity triplet URL access to documentation pages which will
    require a migration of existing documentation objects in external storage
    solutions.

    See #4367 for details.

Patch Changes

  • 537c37b0f: Fix displaying owned documents list by fetching associated entity relations
  • 136a91974: Show a "Refresh" button to if the content is stale.
    This removes the need to do a full page-reload to display more recent TechDocs content.
  • f1200f44c: Rewrite the /sync/:namespace/:kind/:name endpoint to support an event-stream as response.
    This change allows the sync process to take longer than a normal HTTP timeout.
    The stream also emits log events, so the caller can follow the build process in the frontend.
  • 3af126cdd: Provide a Drawer component to follow a running build.
    This can be used to debug the rendering and get build logs in case an error occurs.
  • 2a4a3b32d: Techdocs: fix sidebars not adjusting position automatically
  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react@0.3.0

## @backstage/plugin-user-settings@0.3.0

Minor Changes

  • 71afed7f3: Exported and renamed components from the @backstage/plugin-user-settings plugin , to be able to use it in the consumer side and customize the SettingPage

## @backstage/backend-common@0.8.6

Patch Changes

  • 5f6f2fd96: Support a ensureExists config option to skip ensuring a configured database exists. This allows deployment scenarios where
    limited permissions are given for provisioned databases without privileges to create new databases. If set to false, the
    database connection will not be validated prior to use which means the backend will not attempt to create the database if it
    doesn't exist. You can configure this in your app-config.yaml:

    yaml backend: database: ensureExists: false

    This defaults to true if unspecified. You can also configure this per plugin connection and will override the base option.

  • ad93bb035: Document the default behavior of statusCheck option in createStatusCheckRouter.

Patch Changes

  • d5eaab91d: Adds custom docker image support to the techdocs generator. This change adds a new techdocs.generator configuration key and deprecates the existing techdocs.generators.techdocs key.

    yaml techdocs: # recommended, going forward: generator: runIn: 'docker' # or 'local' # New optional settings dockerImage: my-org/techdocs # use a custom docker image pullImage: false # disable automatic pulling of image (e.g. if custom docker login is required) # legacy (deprecated): generators: techdocs: 'docker' # or 'local'

  • c18e8eb91: Provide optional logger: Logger and logStream: Writable arguments to the GeneratorBase#run(...) command.
