Yarn upgrade : version no longer supported

[keichitokuna]

Hello,

I work on a Symfony 7.0 project.
I did all the upgrades to Symfony 7.1, including recipes.

Then I updated composer with no issue but when i try to upgrade yarn, i have this :

keichi@DSN-EDAM ~/app-proj-num  master ±  yarn upgrade
yarn upgrade v1.22.22

I am unsure, how to resolve it properly ?

the first question is whether webpack-dev-server and clean-webpack-plugin have newer versions available that don't use those old versions. the next step depends on the answer:

• if they don't, the next step is to contribute to them to make them use a supported version of their dependency (allowing to change the answer to that question when restarting the process)
• if they do, the next step is to contribute to webpack-encore to make it support the newer version of those packages.

Note however that these are just warnings. Older versions of the package still work even though they are not maintained anymore.

Hello stof,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I know that it is just warnings, but i try to understand it and cleared it along the way.

As my understanding :

• webpack-dev-server is actively supported and do have a newer version (5.0.4, here). But if i do :

yarn add webpack-dev-server

It doesn't replace the current version i use (webpack-dev-server@^4.8.0) in my yarn.lock.
It add a second up to date version, and the warnings remain.

• clean-webpack-plugin : is at the latest version and wasn't updated since September 1, 2021.

I checked @symfony/webpack-encore which seems to have these two plugins as dependencies.
The current version is 4.6.0 (here), but in my yarn.lock, i only have the 4.0.0.
And :

yarn upgrade @symfony/webpack-encore

has no effect.

Thanks again,

K.

@keichitokuna you cannot just add a newer version of webpack-dev-server in your project. As I said, it needs to be upgraded in webpack-encore (and then a release being published).

I created #1289 and #1290 to resolve those 2 cases in the next version of webpack-encore. So I'm closing this issue for now.
