🐛 Jenkins: Deprecated jenkins@1.1.0 NPM package

[CryptoRodeo]

Workspace

jenkins

📜 Description

The Jenkins plugins has a deprecated dependency that hasn't been updated in ~2 years (jenkins): https://www.npmjs.com/package/jenkins?activeTab=versions

➜  jenkins git:(main) ✗ pwd
/home/bramos/work/community-plugins/workspaces/jenkins
➜  jenkins git:(main) ✗ yarn why jenkins
├─ @backstage-community/plugin-jenkins-backend@workspace:plugins/jenkins-backend
│  └─ jenkins@npm:1.1.0 (via npm:^1.0.0)
│
└─ @backstage-community/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins@workspace:plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins
   └─ jenkins@npm:1.1.0 (via npm:^1.1.0)

I see that dependency being used in these files:
Jenkins-backend:

• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/jenkins-backend/src/service/jenkinsApi.ts#L18
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/jenkins-backend/src/service/jenkinsApi.test.ts#L18

scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins:

• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/config.ts#L17
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/actions/job/build.ts#L17
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/actions/job/copy.ts#L17

• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/actions/job/destroy.ts#L17
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/actions/job/disable.ts#L17
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/workspaces/jenkins/plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-jenkins/src/actions/job/enable.ts#L17

Replacing this deprecated package might not be too difficult. It looks like we just use the Jenkins type from the deprecated package, but more investigation is needed.

👍 Expected behavior

The plugin should use a newer, supported npm package to replace the deprecated jenkins one.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

The plugin uses a ~2 year old, deprecated npm package that may have security issues.

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Go to Jenkins workspace
2. Run yarn why jenkins
3. Confirm the package listed is the same deprecated one found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jenkins?activeTab=versions
