This is a call for plugin maintainers who uses webpack to upgrade their npm module @theforeman/vendor to version ^3.0.0.

We are planning to update foreman core to use v3 of the vendor this Wednesday (2019-11-19T22:00:00Z), notice it has the potential to break your plugin so please respond on time and make sure to upgrade your plugins.

Some useful links:

  The main breaking changes are:
  • Removed deprecated babe-polyfill and added ‘core-js/shim’, ‘regenerator-runtime/runtime’ packages.
  • update redux to v4.
• PR in core to upgrade vendor: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/7164

The last effort migrating to vendor v3 blocked because we found out we need to do packaging for too many babel-<something> modules while we already have a solution for grouping them in one package to simplify the packaging process.

Therefore we created the @theforeman/babel module that contains all the babel modules and groups them together.

We will merge those changes 2019-11-24T22:00:00Z, please update your plugins.

How to upgrade your plugin:

1. Upgrade your plugin vendor from v1 to v3.
2. Install @theforeman/babel in your plugin.
3. Go over your plugin devDependencies and remove all the dependencies that exists in @theforeman/babel package.json file except @theforeman/vendor-dev, do not remove it.
4. If you are using jest for testing, upgrade jest and babel-jest to v24 (v23 require babel v6)

Thanks
