Michael Kriese 4dc30ea9bc fix(http): share concurrent identical cache provider requests (#46627)
* fix(http): share concurrent identical cache provider requests

Identical requests that use a cache provider and run at the same time now
share one in-flight request instead of each fetching from the server.
Callers that join an in-flight request get a deep copy of the response.

This replaces the per-URL mutex, which only covered the cache check and
was released before the fetch finished.

* fix(http): reuse cache providers for npm and typst lookups

The npm and typst datasources now use one module-level cache provider, so
concurrent lookups of the same package share one request. The request key
is only hashed for GET and HEAD requests and includes `throwHttpErrors`.

* fix(http): don't share requests that differ in response type

Add `responseType` and `responseBecomesConfig` to the key of shared
requests, and test that requests with different headers aren't shared
and that a shared response is copied for every caller.

* fix(http): keep in-flight requests per Http class and copy binary bodies

Datasources

Datasources are used in Renovate primarily to fetch released versions of packages.

Follow the class-based programming style

New datasources must follow the class-based programming style. Use the java-version datasource as a reference.

Add the datasource to the API in api.ts so that the new datasource is usable. If you find Unused HTTP mocks errors in the Vitest tests and your mocked URLs are correct, make sure the datasource is correctly registered.

getReleases

The minimum exported interface for a datasource is a function called getReleases that takes a lookup config as input.

The config has:

  • packageName: the package's full name including scope if present (e.g. @foo/bar)
  • registryUrls: an array of registry URLs to try

getReleases should return an object having:

  • releases: an array of strings of matched versions. This is the only mandatory field
  • deprecationMessage: a string description of the package's deprecation notice, if applicable
  • sourceUrl: a HTTP URL pointing to the source code (for example on GitHub)
  • homepage: a HTTP URL for the package's homepage. Ideally should be empty if the homepage and sourceUrl are the same
  • changelogUrl: a URL pointing to the package's changelog (could be a Markdown file, for example). If not present then Renovate will search the sourceUrl for a changelog file
  • tags: an object mapping tag → version, for example tags: { latest: '3.0.0' }. This is only used by the followTags function

getDigest

Datasources that support digests (like Docker digests and Git commit hashes) can export a getDigest function.

The getDigest function has two inputs:

  • config: the Renovate config for the package being updated, has the same fields as getReleases
  • newValue: the version or value to retrieve the digest for

The getDigest function returns a string output representing the digest value. If no digest is found, the getDigest function should return null.
