Are There Details on Updates to OpenCast AppKit 0.5.0?

[wdhowell84]

Both eslint 10.3.0 and focus-trap-react 12.0.0 updates fail due to dependency issues with OpenCast AppKit 0.5.0. Are there any plans to update AppKit to be compatible with these?

[gregorydlogan]

@Arnei or @LukasKalbertodt ought to know, I think?

[Arnei]

We for sure want to update AppKit to be compatible with these.

Last I checked, the issue was that AppKit depends on opencast/eslint-config-ts-react, which in turn has a dependency on eslint-plugin-react, which is incompatible with eslint 10 (jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react#3977). I think we are still hoping for an update to eslint-plugin-react.

Yeah, generally we do want to update all of these. Simply didn't happen yet because none of the projects using it had any need for it yet.

That said, I'm generally fairly unhappy with this dependency situation. If appkits dependencies release a new major version every year or so, that's annoying busy work to update. Then we always have to bump appkits version and uhg. That's just me complaining about the state of the NPM packaging world I guess. If anyone has any idea to improve it, let me know :D

Thank you, guys! I mostly come from the desktop application world where code was allowed to rot until the applications barely worked because "working on tech debt doesn't make sales." So, I may be a little too concerned when I have package updates that I can't make from nearly two decades of bean counters putting me in horrible situations. haha

I will be on the lookout for whenever it does come out. Thanks again!

Also, here is a link to progress on the plugin supporting eslint 10: eslint-config/airbnb-extended#65

And here is the link for a PR being worked on for the update of eslint-plugin-react (seems close): jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react#3979
