React router migration about backstage-plugin-gitlab

[antoniomuso]

Yes, this plugin uses an old version of @backstage/core-components. In this old version, we still have as dependency [email protected]. We have also to switch react-plugin in deps into peerDeps

Any tips on a workaround?

[ivangonzalezacuna]

In our case, we just deactivated the plugin temporarily until this PR is merged: #190.

It was blocking us to fully upgrade to the latest version of backstage, so maybe this is the best workaround for now. Or just create a fork from the code in the linked PR, which works with the latest version of react-router.

Can we get this sort out?
