GitAuto: upgrade axios to version 1.8.2

[gitauto-agent[bot]]

Resolves #10044

What is the feature

Upgrade the axios library to version 1.8.2 in our project.

Why we need the feature

Upgrading to axios version 1.8.2 ensures that we are using the most recent features, performance improvements, and security patches provided by the library. Keeping dependencies up-to-date helps maintain the stability and security of our application. It also reduces technical debt and potential compatibility issues with other libraries.

How to implement and why

1. Update package.json

   • Change the axios version in the dependencies section of package.json to "^1.8.2".
   • Reason: This specifies that we want version 1.8.2 or any compatible newer minor or patch versions, ensuring we benefit from future non-breaking updates.

2. Install the updated dependency

   • Run pnpm install to update pnpm-lock.yaml and install the new version.
   • Reason: This ensures that the lockfile is updated and the new version is installed in the node_modules directory.

3. Review code for compatibility issues

   • Examine all files in the src directory and any other areas where axios is used.
   • Reason: To identify any deprecated methods or changes in the API that might affect our code.

4. Run automated tests

   • Execute the test suites located in the tests directory (if available).
   • Reason: To verify that existing functionality remains intact after the upgrade.

5. Manual testing

   • Perform end-to-end testing of features that rely on axios for HTTP requests.
   • Reason: Some issues might not be caught by automated tests and require manual verification.

6. Update documentation

   • Check the documentation folder for any references specific to the old axios version.
   • Reason: To ensure all documentation remains accurate and helpful for future development.

About backward compatibility

• Ensuring Backward Compatibility:

  • Axios follows semantic versioning. Moving from an earlier 1.x version to 1.8.2 should be backward compatible with no breaking changes.
  • Reason: Minor and patch version upgrades are designed not to introduce breaking changes, but it's still crucial to test.

• Potential Breaking Changes:

  • If upgrading from a major version below 1.x (e.g., 0.x versions), there could be significant breaking changes.
  • Reason: Major version increments can introduce breaking changes according to semantic versioning.

• Conclusion:

  • We can proceed with the upgrade while keeping backward compatibility by thoroughly testing and addressing any issues that arise.
  • Reason: This approach minimizes risk and ensures a smooth transition to the newer version.
