build(yarn): migrate from v1.2.17 to v3.6.0
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We hope to solve issues with this that were plaguing contributors due to
bugs in the much older Yarn 1.x versions that we had to use because Yarn V3
had it's own set of problems when it came to linking the .bin folders for
child packages in a monorepo.

1. We've moved from hoisting by default to NOT hoisting by default for
all packages which results in slightly slower installs for the dependencies
when setting up the project build but it does have the beneficial effect
of much easier fixes for compiler errors because each package can be
provided with their own version of whatever dependencies they need.
2. The "pre" and "post" npm scripts are no longer supported by Yarn
which was an annoying breaking change so we had to restructure some of the
scripts which had pre and post scripts of their own to get equal behavior.
3. Upgraded to Yarn v3.6.0
4. packages/cactus-api-client/src/main/typescript/socketio-api-client.ts
has a line where the Typescript compiler has been disabled and an issue
opened for the same: https://github.com/hyperledger/cacti/issues/2523
5. Added several missing dependencies to the individual package.json
files of the packages. These were resolving fine earlier because of hoisting
but the problem of undeclared dependencies went undetected because of this
convenience feature of the NodeJS module resolution algorithm. Now,
instead of having to catch these problems in production, we can fix them
up-front at development time which is great because there were dozens of
them!
6. Migrated from `import` to `import type` in a few places in the code
where it was applicable and useful: when you only import a dependency
via `import type` then it's safe to move it to "devDependencies" because
at runtime the `import type` syntax is completely omitted by the compiler.
7. Refactored the importing of "internal-ip" in a couple of test cases
because the newer version does not export `v4` and `v6` but instead
`internalIpV4` which meant that the >=7.0.0 versions needed downgrading.
8. Renamed 2 environment variables that are used by ci.yaml to control
the steps taken by ci.sh because they had a `YARN_` prefix in their
names that Yarn v3 appears to be automatically parsing and assuming to
be configuration for itself - which then leads to crashes because it
does not recognize the custom variable name that is not meant for it.
The variables renamed are: `TOOLS_VALIDATE_BUNDLE_NAMES_DISABLED` and
`CUSTOM_CHECKS_DISABLED`
9. The configure script now runs the init-registries sub-script via npm
instead of yarn because yarn is unable to run scripts prior to having ran
a yarn install on a fresh clone (which was making the configure script
bail out on the CI)
10. Configured yarn NOT to rebuild most dependencies that have native
code in them. The exception from under this is the gRPC and related
dependencies whose native code extensions are being used by the test
cases and so we do need them for real.
11. Updated the artillery binary path to be relatively qualified instead
of just the binary file's name in the test case that does the API server
benchmarking in
packages/cactus-cmd-api-server/src/test/typescript/benchmark/artillery-api-benchmark.test.ts
so now the binary's path is specified explicitly as
./packages/cactus-cmd-api-server/node_modules/artillery/bin/artillery
which is the new path on account of us turning off t he hoisting of the
dependencies entirely for the project (e.g. the binary is no longer in
the rood node_modules directory)
12. Explicitly disabled the build scripts of a long list of dependencies
in the root package.json file because they were greatly and needlessly
slowing down the build (we know that we don't need their build scripts
because it was working well with yarn v1 without them)
13. Updated the mapping for the foundry/forge dependencies because now
that we don't have hoisting enabled by default for any of the packages
the binaries end up in the package's own node_modules instead of the root's.
14. Refactored the ci.sh script to not do a lot of the resource intensive
diagnostics and the disk space optimization is also disabled by default.
These things used to be very important when we were running a monolithic
CI job for everything but not so much now that we have a separate job for
every single package. This brings down the ci.sh execution time a few
minutes at least which adds up to a lot because it is executed 40+ times
for each CI run.
15. In general the important change here (apart from the yarn v3 upgrade)
is the disablement of the hoisting of dependencies because this makes the
build much more reliable and harder to mess up with missing dependencies.
16. Had to upgrade protoc-gen-ts to v0.8.6 which then needed typescript
v4.9.x or newer which then forced me to fix a few new compiler errors
(which seemed like legit bugs so it's a net positive but it's yet
another big diff causing change)
17. Had to fix a few webpack import issues related to backend dependencies
being used on the front-end - this only affects the example code/GUI
18. Upgraded the eslint typescript plugin and parser dependencies because
the linter otherwise couldn't handle the code with the new version of the
typescript compiler (v4.9.x). Also had to set the ban on explicit anys
to a warn level down from an error because we have hundreds of them in
the codebase.
There's one linter error left that I won't fix here because there is
already another PR for it.

Fixes #1142
