Upgrade Open-MCT framework to latest official release 1.7.8

[nunoguedelha]

We upgrade the dependency Open-MCT framework to latest official release 1.7.8. This might have some impact on the API calls.

Unfortunately this new release (19th October) does not have a fix yet for https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/4159.

Upgraded and tested the tag 1.7.8 on the local repository doing:

git checkout 1.7.8
npm install
npm start

Then loading localhost:8080 in a browser tab. Created the telemetry item Sine Wave Generator and tried the plotting parameters: "Fixed Timespan/Local Clock", "Set Time Offset preceding/after Now", etc.

Trying now in the yarp-openmct framework...

Open MCT Upgrade procedure

1. cd openmctStaticServer
2. npm install --save-exact
3. npm clean-install

• "npm clean-install" installs the project from a clean slate. The differences between this command and "install" are mainly: (from command "npm help clean-install") o The project must have an existing package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json.

  o If dependencies in the package lock do not match those in pack- age.json, npm ci will exit with an error, instead of updating the package lock.

  o npm ci can only install entire projects at a time: individual depen- dencies cannot be added with this command.

  o If a node_modules is already present, it will be automatically removed before npm ci begins its install.

  o It will never write to package.json or any of the package-locks: installs are essentially frozen.

• The package-lock.json was committed after step 2.

Test

Test of the telemetry server in yarp-openmct repo and the visualizer successful.
