chore(deps): update dependency probot to v14 #29

Probot is now an ESM only library
drop Node > 20.17 and Node 21 support
Switch to GitHub's OpenAPI specification for Webhooks (from @octokit/webhooks v13)
Remove legacy REST enpoint method access. Users will now have to use the octokit.rest.* methods
Remove express server from within Probot.
All properties marked as private in Typescript, including Probot#state, are now private class fields.
createNodeMiddleware() is now an async function
@sentry/node needs to be installed separately if needed
ioredis needs to be installed separately if needed
The built-in server now listens on localhost by default instead of 0.0.0.0.

Probot v14 Migration Guide

ESM Only Package

Probot is now exclusively an ESM package. Either migrate to ESM (recommended), or use `require(esm).

Migrating to ESM:

Update package.json:

{
  "type": "module"
}

Replace all CommonJS require() statements with ESM import syntax
Update your TypeScript configuration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "node16",
    "moduleResolution": "node16"
  }
}

For require(esm):

For TypeScript 5.7-5.8: Use "module": "nodenext" and "moduleResolution": "nodenext"
For TypeScript 5.9+: Use "module": "node20" and "moduleResolution": "node20"

Node.js Version Requirements

Minimum supported version: Node.js 20.18+ and 22+
Node.js 21 support has been dropped

Webhook Type Definitions

Replace webhook type imports:

// Before
import { WebhookEvent } from "@&#8203;octokit/webhooks-types";

// After
import { WebhookEvent } from "@&#8203;octokit/openapi-webhooks-types-migration";

REST API Access Pattern

Legacy endpoint methods have been removed:

app.on("issues.opened", async (context) => {
  // Before
  // const issue = await context.octokit.issues.get(context.issue());

  // After
  const issue = await context.octokit.rest.issues.get(context.issue());
});

Express Server Removal

The built-in Express server has been removed. To use Express:

Install Express:

npm install express

Update your Probot setup:

import Express from "express";
import { createNodeMiddleware, createProbot } from "probot";

const express = Express();

const app = (probot) => {
  probot.on("push", async () => {
    probot.log.info("Push event received");
  });
};

const middleware = await createNodeMiddleware(app, {
  webhooksPath: "/api/github/webhooks",
  probot: createProbot({
    env: {
      APP_ID,
      PRIVATE_KEY,
      WEBHOOK_SECRET,
    },
  }),
});

express.use(middleware);
express.use(Express.json());
express.get("/custom-route", (req, res) => {
  res.json({ status: "ok" });
});

express.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:3000`);
});

HTTP Server no longer listens on `0.0.0.0` by default

The built-in HTTP server will now listen on localhost by default, instead of listening on all available interfaces.
If you wish to change this behaviour, you can use the HOST environment variable, or the --host variable for the probot run command.

env HOST=0.0.0.0 <start script>
probot run --host=0.0.0.0 app.js

Asynchronous Middleware Initialization

createNodeMiddleware() is now asynchronous:

import { createNodeMiddleware } from "probot";
import app from "../app.js";

// Before
// const middleware = createNodeMiddleware(app);

// After
const middleware = await createNodeMiddleware(app);

The middleware no longer accepts parsed payloads. You will have to pass it as a string

Note on Vercel deployments:

Set NODEJS_HELPERS environment variable to 0 in order to prevent Vercel from parsing the response body.

BREAKING CHANGES

For a smooth upgrade, make sure to update to the latest Probot v10 version first (npm install probot@10), run your tests, and address all deprecation messages. Nearly all removed APIs have previously been deprecated.

deprecated context.octokit.* have been removed via @octokit/plugin-rest-endpoint-methods v4
probot.server property removed. Build your own server instead using import { Server } from "probot"
probot.load() is now asynchronous and no longer returns the instance
express-async-errors is no longer used.
Probot constructor parameter no longer supported in createNodeMiddleware(app, { Probot }). Pass a probot instance instead: createNodeMiddleware(app, { probot })
getOptions() has been removed. Use { probot: createProbot() } instead
probot.load(appFn) no longer accepts appFn to be a path string. Pass the actual function instead.

probot.setup() removed. Use the new Server class instead:

const { Server, Probot } = require("probot")
const server = new Server({
  // optional:
  host,
  port,
  webhookPath,
  webhookProxy,
  Probot: Probot.defaults({ id, privateKey, ... })
})

// load probot app function
await server.load((app) => {})

// start listening to requests
await server.start()
// stop server with: await server.stop()

If you have more than one app function, combine them in a function instead

const app1 = require("./app1")
const app2 = require("./app2")

module.exports = function app ({ probot, getRouter }) {
  await app1({ probot, getRouter })
  await app2({ probot, getRouter })
}

probot.start() / probot.stop() removed. Use the new Server class instead:

const { Server, Probot } = require("probot")
const server = new Server({
  Probot: Probot.defaults({ id, privateKey, ... })
  // optional:
  host,
  port,
  webhookPath,
  webhookProxy,
})

// load probot app function
await server.load((app) => {})

// start listening to requests
await server.start()
// stop server with: await server.stop()

REDIS_URL is ignored when using Probot constructor. Use new Probot({ redisConfig: redis://... }) instead
Probot constructor no longer reads environment variables. Pass options instead, or import { createProbot } from "probot" instead
Probot.run() has been removed. Use import { run} from "probot" instead
context.github has been removed. Use context.octokit instead
context.event has been removed. Use context.name instead
app.route() has been removed. Use the getRouter() argument from the app function instead: (app, { getRouter }) => { ... }
app.router has been removed. Use getRouter() from the app function instead: (app, { getRouter }) => { ... }
probot.logger has been removed. Use probot.log instead
new Probot({ id }) has been removed. Use new Probot({ appId }) instead
new Probot({ cert }) has been removed. Use new Probot({ privateKey }) instead
probot.webhook has been removed. Use probot.webhooks instead
createProbot(options) no longer supports any keys besides overrides, defaults, or env
options.throttleOptions has been removed. Set options.Octokit to ProbotOctokit.defaults({ throttle }) instead
import { Application } from probot has been removed. Use import { Probot } from probot instead, the APIs are the same

Before
```
nock("https://api.github.com")
  .get("/repos/wip/app/contents/.github%2Fwip.yml")
  .reply(200, {
    content: Buffer.from("terms: 🚧").toString("base64"),
  });
```
After
```

  .reply(200, "terms: 🚧");
