Nodejs-related dependencies update in Prince release

Introduction

The following dependencies of Aura Nodejs components have been updated in Prince 10.0.0 release.

This affects aura-bot and, consequently, implies that different tasks must be done by the OBs in order to make their dialogs compatible with these modifications.

Changes in the rest of components do not affect neither the constructors nor the deployment itself.

• Update nodejs
• Update Typescript
• Update BotFramework
• Update Superagent

Update nodejs

In Prince release, Nodejs has been updated to Nodejs 22 version.

This upgrade does not need any additional task to be executed by the OB use cases developers.

Update Typescript

In Prince release, Typescript has been updated to Typescript 5.8.2.

Prior to deploying Prince, OBs should update these versions in the package.json:

• “typescript”: “~5.8.2”

This upgrade could generate certain errors listed below. In these scenarios, OBs constructors can resolve these problems with the indicated solution:

• Problems with "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true in tsconfig.json
  • Solution: Remove this property
• Problems with some dialogs with super.initialDialogId
  • Solution: Replace it by this.initialDialogId
• Problems with some dialogs with super.addDialog method
  • Solution: Replace it with this.addDialog
• Problems with certain types
  • Solution: Define them correctly

Update Bot Framework

In Prince release, Bot Framework has been updated to Bot Framework 4.23.2 version.

Prior to deploying Prince, OBs should update these dependencies, if they are needed by the local dialogs:

• “botbuilder”: “~4.23.2”,
• “botbuilder-core”: “~4.23.2”,
• “botbuilder-dialogs”: “~4.23.2”,
• “botframework-connector”: “~4.23.2”,
• “@azure/core-auth”: “~1.9.0”,
• “@azure/data-tables”: “~13.3.0”,
• “@azure/storage-blob”: “~12.26.0”

Update Superagent

In Prince release, Aura uses the latest Superagent version 10.2.0.

Prior to deploying Prince, OBs constructors should update these versions in the package.json:

• “superagent”: “^10.2.0”
• “@types/superagent”: “^8.1.9”
