Goals

The goal is to improve the performance of the Shopify CLI by memoizing the macAddress retrieval, which is used in every analytics event report.

Changes

  • packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/context/local.ts: Added a module-level variable memoizedMacAddress to cache the result of macaddress.one().
  • packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/context/local.test.ts: Updated the unit tests to mock macaddress and assert that it is only called once even if macAddress() is invoked multiple times.

How to test your changes?

Run the unit tests for the cli-kit package:
pnpm --filter @shopify/cli-kit vitest run src/public/node/context/local.test.ts
Also verify type-checking:
npx nx type-check cli-kit

This change memoizes the `macAddress` function in `packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/context/local.ts` to prevent redundant system calls during analytics payload generation. The retrieval of the MAC address is constant for the duration of a CLI command execution, so caching the promise ensures that subsequent calls are nearly instantaneous.

- Added `memoizedMacAddress` module-level variable to `local.ts`.
- Updated `macAddress()` to return the cached promise if available.
- Updated `local.test.ts` to verify that `macaddress.one()` is only called once.

This PR improves Shopify CLI performance by memoizing the `macAddress` retrieval, which is used in every analytics report. It also upgrades `hashString` and `nonRandomUUID` to use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1 to address CodeQL security alerts regarding weak cryptographic algorithms when processing sensitive data.

- Memoized `macAddress` in `local.ts` to avoid redundant system calls.
- Upgraded `hashString` and `nonRandomUUID` to SHA-256 in `crypto.ts`.
- Updated relevant unit tests to verify memoization and new hash lengths.
This PR improves Shopify CLI performance by memoizing the `macAddress` retrieval and modernizes cryptographic hashing to address CodeQL security alerts.

- Memoized `macAddress` in `local.ts` to avoid redundant system calls.
- Upgraded `hashString` and `nonRandomUUID` to SHA-256 in `crypto.ts`.
- Ensured `nonRandomUUID` produces standard-length UUIDs by truncating the SHA-256 hash to 32 hex characters.
- Updated all affected unit tests to reflect the new hash and UUID outputs.

Differences in type declarations

We detected differences in the type declarations generated by Typescript for this branch compared to the baseline ('main' branch). Please, review them to ensure they are backward-compatible. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

  • Some seemingly private modules might be re-exported through public modules.
  • If the branch is behind main you might see odd diffs, rebase main into this branch.
