Backstage - v0.37.0

@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend@0.13.0

Minor Changes

8bfc0571c: Add a default catalog value for BitBucketDiscoveryProcessor. This allows to have a target like so: https://bitbucket.mycompany.com/projects/backstage/repos/service-*
which will be expanded to https://bitbucket.mycompany.com/projects/backstage/repos/service-a/catalog-info.yaml given that repository 'service-a' exists.

Migration

If you are using a custom Bitbucket parser and your bitbucket-discovery target (e.g. in your app-config.yaml) omits the catalog path in any of the following ways:
then you will be affected by this change.
The 'target' input to your parser before this commit would be '/', and after this commit it will be '/catalog-info.yaml', and as such needs to be handled to maintain the same functionality.

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

## @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

## @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" }}',

## @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

## @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.

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.
They receive all log messages that are emitted during the generator run.
