SHOPIFY CLI FIXES URL PARSING IN ERROR BANNERS, CLEANS UP BUN LOCKFILE HANDLING

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Long URLs embedded in CLI error messages now parse correctly with opt-in CommonMark link rendering, fixing the broken output that split URLs across terminal borders.

Shopify CLI shipped a fix [1] that addresses a frustrating UX problem: bare URLs in plain-text error banners were wrapping across the 80-column terminal boundary and getting split by border characters, leaving users with unclickable, un-copy-pasteable links. The solution uses opt-in CommonMark link parsing to disambiguate between URLs the message is describing versus URLs users should actually click. In parallel, the team removed deprecated force flags from e2e tests [2] and refactored Notifier test mocks to eliminate filesystem dependencies [3], tightening test reliability. A separate fix [4] catches stale Bun lockfiles in app templates—the CLI now recognizes modern `bun.lock` files alongside `bun.lockb`, preventing orphaned lockfiles when initializing non-Bun projects.
