Ember Upgrade for conduit-ui

[jayjayjpg]

Bug description

Description

In order to keep up with security vulnerabilities more easily, we should upgrade Ember and it's related dependencies, such as ember-cli, ember-data, as well as version-dependent addons, e.g. ember-auto-import, ember-changeset, etc. to either

• the latest available minor version (4.12 as of date). This way, we will be able to upgrade more quickly to Ember 5.x (which has already been released as of today)

• or the latest LTS version 4.8.x. This way we can still benefit from critical security patches within Ember until December 11, 2023

Blockers

This is a list of blockers that we encountered during the upgrade (tbd, once https://github.com/meroxa/platform-ui-v1/issues/881 had been worked through):

• Build error @babel/template placeholder "SAMPLE_FEATURE_FLAG": Expected string substitution

@jayjayjpg are you doing this work?

[simonl2002]

@jayjayjpg is focussed elsewhere and thus will not be tackling this ember upgrade work. For now we will push this work until the next version of Conduit after 0.7.0.

@simonl2002 I just timeboxed exploration for half an hour to see how much effort it would be to upgrade to at least 4.8 (the latest LTS version of Ember that still receives security patches until December 2023) as I mentioned briefly before and will close this ticket if the tests for this PR pass

I can create a follow-up ticket for the final upgrade to 4.12 which could be tackled in a future Conduit release (e.g. 0.7.0)

The timeboxed PR can be found here: #1011
