Plan for Updating Dependencies as part of ongoing maintenance #638

Open jonseitz opened 1 year ago

jonseitz commented 1 year ago

Need to keep up to date:

[x] NodeJS container: Need to be on a supported LTS version, current newest in v18.
[ ] Postgres RDS instance: Will be automatically updated by AWS, need to test locally to ensure compatibility.
[ ] Redis/Elasticache: Make sure the local version is in sync
Major Project dependencies:
- [ ] NestJS
- [ ] TypeORM
- [ ] React
- [x] Webpack
- [ ] axios
- [ ] styled-components

Update Process:

For Node containers, we can update the Dockerfile, and rebuild. Fix any errors.
For Postgres, we can update the version in docker-compose and run. Fix any errors.
For node_modules:
- Will need to look for new major versions of any projects
- Will need to check release notes as relevant to look for breaking changes
- Update all packages to latest supported, test and fix any errors.

Testing process:

Run full test suite
Set up some manual testing processes
- Create a new course, new area, new faculty, new room
