feat(install-dynamic-plugins): add @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins#3246
Conversation
Migrates scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ from redhat-developer/rhdh#4574 into this repo as @red-hat-developer-hub/install-dynamic-plugins so it can be published to npm and consumed by the RHDH init-container without curl-by-SHA. Runtime contract (CLI args, env vars, plugin-hash format, on-disk layout, tar/OCI security guards) preserved verbatim. Build remains a single self-contained .cjs via esbuild. Tests migrated from vitest to jest to align with the repo's backstage-cli pipeline (14 suites / 166 tests pass). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add bin/install-dynamic-plugins shim and have package.json bin point at it (matches the convention used by extensions-cli, translations-cli, and rhdh-repo-tools). Split src/cli.ts as the esbuild entry so the bundle no longer needs the require.main guard or a shebang banner. - Stop committing dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs; the release pipeline rebuilds via the customBuild path, and a new prepack script makes yarn npm publish self-healing for local runs. - Drop the .js suffix from relative imports across src/ so the package matches the rest of the repo and the jest moduleNameMapper workaround is no longer needed. - Consolidate the tsconfigs: the inner package extends the workspace tsconfig and only declares what differs. - Add why-it's-intentional comments to the two eslint-disable lines (PullPolicy const+type pair, tar.x filter inside a sequential loop). - README now leads with the npm/npx usage path; the RHDH init-container section is below. tar/yaml stay in dependencies (not devDependencies as the review suggested) — @backstage/no-undeclared-imports flagged the source imports, and the repo convention treats bundling as opaque. 166/166 tests pass, tsc/lint/prettier clean, bin shim and bundle both exit 0 on the empty-config smoke run.

The CI step "check api reports and generate API reference" runs
`backstage-repo-tools api-reports --ci` before the build, and that tool
requires the bin file to introspect the CLI. The previous shim did a
plain `require('../dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs')`, which failed
under CI because dist/ is no longer committed and the build hasn't run
yet.
- Switch the bin shim to the local-vs-installed pattern used by every
other CLI in the repo (extensions-cli, translations-cli,
rhdh-repo-tools): when `src/` exists (monorepo), load TS directly via
`@backstage/cli/config/nodeTransform`; otherwise require the built
bundle (npm-installed scenario).
- Add `--help` / `-h` handling to main() so the api-reports tool can
introspect the CLI usage without creating a stray `--help/` directory.
- Commit the generated `cli-report.md`.

🚀 New features to boost your workflow:
|
- Use String.raw for strings containing backslash literals so the source
reads with one '\' instead of '\\\\' (catalog-index.ts log message,
extra-catalog-index.test.ts subdirectory fixtures, skopeo.test.ts shell
escape).
- Switch the OCI regex builder to a joined string array — eliminates the
nested template literals SonarCloud was flagging on oci-key.ts (and
reads much better).
- Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call -> Object.hasOwn in
merger.test.ts (ES2022, available since Node 16.9).
- String#replace(/'/g, ...) -> String#replaceAll("'", ...) in
skopeo.test.ts (ES2021).
- Hoist test helpers (stageLayer, fakeImageCache) out of their describe
blocks so they aren't re-defined on every test.
- Drop the redundant parseMaxEntrySize(undefined) call in types.test.ts —
the parameter already defaults to process.env.MAX_ENTRY_SIZE.
166/166 tests still pass.

Switches the hand-rolled `process.argv` + USAGE-string handling in main() to `cleye` — the same parser every `@backstage/cli-module-*` package uses (already in our transitive deps). Aligns with the Backstage CLI convention requested during PR review. Existing surface preserved: - positional `<dynamic-plugins-root>` (required, exit 1 if absent) - `--help` / `-h` prints usage and exits 0 - normal run still exits with the installer's status code Bundle grew from 226 kB -> 267 kB (cleye + type-flag minified). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…keeping the bundled bin Aligns with the @backstage/cli-module-* convention without losing the self-contained bundled artifact: - Rename to @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins, backstage.role: cli-module. - src/installer.ts holds the install pipeline and main() (formerly src/index.ts). - New src/index.ts default-exports `createCliModule(...)` registering an `install` command whose loader is src/command.ts. Exposes the package through backstage-cli discovery — `backstage-cli install <dir>` works when the package is a dependency. - src/cli.ts (the esbuild entry) keeps invoking installer.main() directly, so the bundled .cjs stays self-contained: no @backstage/cli-node and no keytar gymnastics in the bin path. - Build is dual now — `backstage-cli package build && node esbuild.config.mjs`. backstage-cli emits dist/index.cjs.js (the cli-module export) and the unbundled supporting modules; esbuild emits dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs (the standalone bin). Both are published. - bin shim's installed branch now requires the bundled .cjs explicitly rather than going through `main` — that keeps direct/npx/init-container invocations at ~60 ms cold start instead of paying the cli-module dispatch cost. - main() now takes optional `args` and `programName` so the cli-module loader can pass the command's argv slice and have `--help` print the real invocation (`install-dynamic-plugins install …`). - @backstage/cli-node added as a runtime dependency. It is only loaded by the cli-module discovery path; the bundled bin never imports it. 166/166 tests pass; tsc/lint/prettier/api-reports clean. Bundle size unchanged at ~267 KB.

…nbundled cli-module Replaces the dual build (esbuild bundle + backstage-cli) with plain `backstage-cli package build` — the standard Backstage cli-module pattern. The bundle and the keytar gymnastics only existed to satisfy RHDH's init-container `COPY` of a single self-contained `.cjs`; that consumption model is moving to `npm install` (redhat-developer/rhdh#4908), so the single-file requirement is going away. What's left in the package: - `src/installer.ts`: install pipeline + `main(args, programName)`. - `src/index.ts`: `createCliModule(...)` default export, registers the `install` command. Discovered by `backstage-cli` when this package is a dependency of a host project. - `src/command.ts`: thin loader that calls `installer.main`. - `bin/install-dynamic-plugins`: fast-path shim that loads `dist/installer.cjs.js` directly and runs `main(process.argv.slice(2))`, bypassing `@backstage/cli-node`'s `runCliModule` dispatch — saves ~80 ms of cold start for direct/`npx`/init-container invocations. The cli-module discovery path still goes through `runCliModule` and pays the dispatch cost where it belongs. Removed: - `esbuild.config.mjs` (the custom bundle config) - `src/cli.ts` (the esbuild entry) - `dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs` from `files` (no longer produced) - `esbuild` devDependency 166/166 tests pass; tsc/lint/prettier/api-reports clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…undle The README and the createCliModule docstring still referenced the self-contained bundle that the package no longer ships: - `npm run build` description and committed-bundle CI-check section. - `node install-dynamic-plugins.cjs "$1"` wrapper line in "How RHDH consumes it" — replaced with a pointer to redhat-developer/rhdh#4908. - `src/index.ts` describing the bin path as the bundle. - Source layout was missing `index.ts` / `command.ts` / `installer.ts`.

left a comment
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The inline comments are about aligning package.json and the bin wrapper with the upstream cli-module-* contract in backstage/backstage. These affect local dev resolution and what consumers get from npm. A couple smaller items on the config loader and shell wrapper.
… cli-module contract Applies the four findings from @schultzp2020's review: - package.json reshaped to match the upstream `@backstage/cli-module-*` contract: `main`/`types` point at `src/index.ts` for local dev, `publishConfig` overrides with `dist/index.cjs.js`/`dist/index.d.ts`, `prepack` and `postpack` wire up `backstage-cli package prepack/postpack` so the published artifact has the correct entry points, and `files` is `["bin", "dist"]` (the old `dist/**/*.js` glob excluded `.d.ts`). - bin wrapper now uses `@backstage/cli-node/config/nodeTransform.cjs` (the cli-node variant) instead of `@backstage/cli/config/nodeTransform.cjs`. `@backstage/cli` is only a devDependency — the previous import would have broken `npx`/installed-package invocations. - bin wrapper now goes through `runCliModule(...)` like every other `@backstage/cli-module-*` package. The earlier fast path bypassed it to save ~80 ms of cold start, but per @schultzp2020 that cost is one-time per init-container run (not per-plugin), and going through the standard dispatch gives us `--version`/`--help` and future runCliModule improvements for free. - installer.ts: added an `isPlainObject` guard for the parsed main config, mirroring the existing guard on include files. A YAML scalar or array in `dynamic-plugins.yaml` now throws a clear `InstallException` instead of a confusing downstream `TypeError`. Also drops the stale `install-dynamic-plugins.sh` wrapper from the package — it pointed at the long-removed esbuild bundle and was no longer listed in `files`. 166/166 tests pass; tsc/lint/prettier/api-reports clean.

The rhdh-plugins side reverted the bin shim to the standard `runCliModule` dispatch (redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins#3246 review), so the installed bin now expects an `install` subcommand. Updating the wrapper to match and to forward `"$@"` instead of `"$1"` so any extra positional argument the Helm chart or Operator passes is preserved.

…arn workspace (#4908) * [DRAFT] chore(install-dynamic-plugins): consume installer from npm Replaces the COPY of scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/{install-dynamic-plugins.cjs, install-dynamic-plugins.sh} with an `npm install` of @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins (built and published out of redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins). This unblocks the cli-module structure on the rhdh-plugins side — it lets that package use the standard `backstage-cli package build` (unbundled, multi-file dist) instead of a custom esbuild bundle with a keytar stub. See the conversation context: redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins#3254 Backward compatibility is preserved by writing a tiny `/opt/app-root/src/install-dynamic-plugins.sh` shim that delegates to the npm-installed bin, so the Helm chart and Operator init-container spec continue to invoke `./install-dynamic-plugins.sh /dynamic-plugins-root` unchanged. DRAFT — DO NOT MERGE: blocked on redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins#3254 (or the unbundled successor) being merged and published to npm. Opened for review of the consumption pattern and to back the cold-start benchmark posted in Slack. Trade-off summary (cold-start benchmark on empty config): - Current (bundled .cjs, 231 KB single file): ~89 ms warm cache (median) - Proposed (npm install, 25 MB node_modules): ~180 ms warm cache (median) The ~90 ms gap is the module-resolution overhead of unbundled Node — paid once per pod start. Image build time also gets +`npm install` of ~25 MB (one extra layer), offset by deleting ~7000 lines of vendored installer script from this repo in a follow-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fixup: address PR review on the install-dynamic-plugins Containerfile step - Install into /opt/dynamic-plugins-installer (its own dir, no package.json) instead of /opt/app-root/src so npm cannot honor the yarn workspace and perturb the production tree that `yarn workspaces focus` built at line 208. - Delegate the shim to `node_modules/.bin/install-dynamic-plugins` (the symlink npm creates from the package's bin field) instead of reaching into the package's internal layout. - Add `--no-save --omit=dev` so npm doesn't write a package-lock.json into the installer dir and doesn't fetch devDependencies. - Pin the installer to an exact version (0.1.0) so image builds are reproducible. - Add a build-time smoke check (`install-dynamic-plugins --help`) so a missing or renamed CLI entrypoint fails the image build instead of the init container at pod start. The hermetic-build concern (npm reaching the public registry when this Containerfile runs under Konflux with networking disabled) is acknowledged separately in the PR description — it's the real gating work and is not addressed by this commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fixup: drop synthetic `install` subcommand from the shim The unbundled cli-module variant ships a fast-path bin that calls the installer directly (bypassing @backstage/cli-node's runCliModule dispatch), so the published binary takes the dynamic-plugins-root as a positional without a subcommand prefix — matching the original CLI surface. Verified locally: $ /opt/dynamic-plugins-installer/node_modules/.bin/install-dynamic-plugins /dynamic-plugins-root exits 0 on an empty config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(install-dynamic-plugins): consume installer through dynamic-plugins yarn workspace Pivots #4908 from `RUN npm install …` to a plain yarn dependency in dynamic-plugins/package.json. The existing `yarn install --immutable` at line 151 of this Containerfile pulls the installer as part of the same yarn run that already brings in the rest of the dynamic-plugins deps, so the bin lands at /opt/app-root/src/dynamic-plugins/node_modules/.bin/install-dynamic-plugins and the final stage just writes a shim pointing there. Why yarn and not npm: scripts/local-hermeto-build.sh:213 already prefetches yarn deps for ./dynamic-plugins via cachi2/hermeto. No infra change is needed in this repo or in the midstream Konflux pipeline — the hermetic build "just works". The earlier npm-install approach required wiring npm into hermeto's fetch-deps, which is real work spanning two repos. Validated locally: yarn install of the unbundled cli-module variant (via a tarball of the fast-path build) produces .bin/install-dynamic-plugins and the smoke invocation on an empty dynamic-plugins.yaml exits 0. dynamic-plugins/yarn.lock is intentionally NOT regenerated in this commit — that has to happen against the published @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins@0.1.0 once redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins ships it. Marking the PR as Draft until then. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fixup: shim uses install subcommand + forwards all positional args The rhdh-plugins side reverted the bin shim to the standard `runCliModule` dispatch (redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins#3246 review), so the installed bin now expects an `install` subcommand.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: drop vendored scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ now that it's on npm The dynamic-plugins installer is consumed from @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins via the yarn dependency declared in dynamic-plugins/package.json, so the vendored copy under scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ is no longer used by the Containerfile and can be removed. Deletes: - scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ (46 files, ~7000 lines) Cleans up the references that pointed at it: - .gitattributes: drop linguist-generated marker for the bundled .cjs - .dockerignore: drop the dist/ exceptions that kept the bundle in the build context - codecov.yml: drop the install-dynamic-plugins flag (used to track Python coverage from the pre-TS era) - .github/workflows/pr.yaml: drop the vitest + bundle-up-to-date checks - .github/workflows/coverage-baseline.yml: drop the pytest baseline - docs/dynamic-plugins/installing-plugins.md: link to the rhdh-plugins source instead of the vendored path - docs/coverage/e2e-rhdh.md: drop the vitest row from the coverage table - .rulesync/rules/ci-e2e-testing.md + the derived files under .claude/, .cursor/, .opencode/: update the installer link Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: move installer dep to root package.json so the bin survives stage 3 The Containerfile's build stage at line 175 wipes everything under dynamic-plugins/ except dist/, which deleted dynamic-plugins/node_modules/.bin/ along with everything else. The final stage then failed at runtime with exit code 127 because the bin wasn't there: /bin/sh: line 1: /opt/app-root/src/dynamic-plugins/node_modules/.bin/install-dynamic-plugins: No such file or directory Moves @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins from dynamic-plugins/package.json to the repo root package.json. The bin then survives the `yarn workspaces focus --all --production` at line 208 and lands at /opt/app-root/src/node_modules/.bin/ where the final stage's shim can reach it. Hermeto already prefetches yarn deps for the repo root (scripts/local-hermeto-build.sh:213, `{"type": "yarn", "path": "."}`), so no infra change. Also corrects the shim path: the published package uses the string form of `bin` ("bin/install-dynamic-plugins"), and yarn names the symlink after the package's base name (after the scope), so the actual bin lands at node_modules/.bin/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins, not node_modules/.bin/install-dynamic-plugins. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: drop pytest residue left by the Python install-dynamic-plugins era The dynamic-plugins installer was migrated to TypeScript in #4574 and the vendored TypeScript copy was removed earlier in this PR, so the pytest test infrastructure no longer has anything live to test. - Deletes python/requirements-dev.in and python/requirements-dev.txt (pytest, pytest-cov, pytest-mock — and their transitive deps). - Drops the .github/workflows/pr.yaml "Install Python dependencies" step that installed all three requirements files; no subsequent step in the PR workflow uses Python. - Cleans the stale comment in codecov.yml referencing the removed install-dynamic-plugins pytest flag. python/requirements.txt and python/requirements-build.txt stay — they are consumed by the TechDocs venv build in the Containerfile (line 237) for mkdocs / mkdocs-techdocs-core / plantuml-markdown, which is unrelated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: stop tracking and ignore the Claude Code session lock file `.claude/scheduled_tasks.lock` is a Claude Code runtime artifact (per-session pid lock); it got accidentally included by `git add -A` in the previous commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address PR review — smoke check `install`, stop pointing at line numbers, drop orphaned comments - Build-time smoke check now invokes `install --help`, not just `--help`. A top-level `--help` only proves the bin resolves; the shim hardcodes the `install` subcommand, so if a future release of the package renames/removes it, the failure should land at image build time, not at pod start. cleye prints the subcommand help and exits 0 before validating the required `<dynamic-plugins-root>` positional, so this is a strict upgrade with no behavioural change for the current published package. - Replace hardcoded line-number references in the Containerfile comment (already drifted: line 175 → actual 173) with the step banners `=== YARN WORKSPACES FOCUS ===` and `=== DELETE DYNAMIC PLUGINS/* ===`, which survive edits to the surrounding RUN steps. Same treatment for scripts/local-hermeto-build.sh: point at the `{"type": "yarn", "path": "."}` fetch-deps entry instead of a line number. - Drop the orphaned `.dockerignore` comment that explained the now-removed `!scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/dist` re-include lines and was reading as if it described `**/node_modules`. - Drop the orphaned `.gitattributes` section header `# Generated bundles — collapsed in GitHub diffs, …` left behind when the `dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs linguist-generated=true` entry was removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: move installer dep to packages/backend to satisfy monorepo:check The sherif rule in `yarn run monorepo:check` rejects `dependencies` on the private root package.json — the rationale being that dependencies vs devDependencies is a no-op for a private package and creates confusion. CI fails on that check today. Moves `@red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins` from the root package.json to `packages/backend/package.json`, keeping the load-bearing behaviour: backend is `private: true` and gets included by `yarn workspaces focus --all --production`, so the bin still hoists to `/opt/app-root/src/node_modules/.bin/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins` where the Containerfile shim picks it up. Semantically this is the right home anyway — the backend is the runtime that the init-container runs alongside. Containerfile comment updated to point at the new declaration site. Verified locally: - yarn run monorepo:check → No issues found - node_modules/.bin/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins install --help exits 0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This package is built to be consumed two ways, both running the same install pipeline:
npx:npx @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins ./dynamic-plugins-root. Runs the fast-path bin.backstage-clihost: when listed as a dependency of a project that usesbackstage-cli, the command is registered automatically.backstage-cli install ./dynamic-plugins-rootworks out of the box.The follow-up RHDH PR (redhat-developer/rhdh#4908) switches RHDH's init-container from
COPY scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjsto consuming this package throughdynamic-plugins/package.json(yarn). After both PRs land,scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/can be deleted from RHDH in a subsequent cleanup.Test plan
