Post-release checklist
These are chores that we should do before starting the cycle to reduce ripple effects if we do it in mid-cycle.
Tips:
- Clean your repo before start
- Remove
node_modulesfrom all folder-
git clean -fdx
-
- Never delete
package-lock.json - If you mess it up, tableflip and redo
- In
component/package.json- Remove reference to
botframework-webchat-coreby hand-modifyingpackage.json - Then,
npm install(symlinks will be broken afterward) - Then, add those references back by hand-modifying
package.json - This also applies for other packages with similar dependencies/symlinks
- To build afterward, do tableflip to rebuild those symlinks
- Remove reference to
Applies to all releases
This list should be copied to versions in the future.

Bump all dependencies to latest version
In PR #4392, we are bumping most dependencies to latest version.
After bumping, if a package broke compatibility, we should investigate:
- Upgrade our code to use the latest package if possible, otherwise;
- Add it to
package.json/skipBumpto prevent bumping deliberately:
- Skipping bump incur unpredictable technical debts, say, security issue found in the unsupported version, causing us slow to react
- Plausible reasons (non-exhaustive):
- Package is not ES5;
- Package is ESM and requires the whole dependency chain to be upgraded, however, it is technically impossible (unrelated to cost).
- [x] Run
npm run bump - [x] Run
npm audit fixto make sure everything is fixed - [x] Test under IE11 to make sure all dependencies are working
- [ ] List steps to verify bumping

Obstacles to bump npm
Check if the followings are still valid. We should bump to npm@latest ([email protected]) as soon as possible.
As of writing, [email protected] (bundled by node@16) has issue on running postinstall script.
[email protected] is peer-depends on @angular/common, which npm@7 will automatically install missing peer dependencies. Track the issue here.
Update CI/CD pipeline to use latest images
Some pipelines are still using windows-2016 image which will be deprecated soon, we need to update them.
- [x] CD pipeline to
windows-latest
Bump Docker image
The Docker image can be found at root
docker-compose.ymlandDockerfile*.
- [x] ~Docker container for headless Chrome (#XXX)~
- They recently moved from
3.14.159-xxxtag scheme to a more sensible87.0tag scheme - Tags can be found at https://hub.docker.com/r/selenium/node-chrome/tags
- Preferably in separate PR because screenshots change can be large occasionally
- Run tests locally, as the screenshots can be slightly different
- Also consider bumping to Edge-based images
