Update copyright to 2022 - automate this?

[shefalijoshi]

Copyright for openmct files needs to be updated to 2022 (when 2022 comes around).
If possible, this should be automated.

Will look into automating this. Any suggestions are welcome

A related question seems to indicate maybe this doesn't necessarily have to be updated

Will write a little tool to automate this.

I've got an npm script to do this here:

@scottbell can you write test instructions here?

[scottbell]

To test, run the script and ensure neither the string 2020 nor 2021 exist in the codebase. Also check through git diff that only copyrights we’re affected.

The script is working as expected, though on the release/1.8.4 branch still has instances of non 2022 years in the copyright text.

The script will need to be rerun to resolve an older copyright on the following files:
modified: example/exampleUser/ExampleUserProvider.js
modified: example/exampleUser/exampleUserCreator.js
modified: example/exampleUser/plugin.js
modified: example/exampleUser/pluginSpec.js
modified: src/api/user/User.js
modified: src/api/user/UserAPI.js
modified: src/api/user/UserAPISpec.js
modified: src/api/user/constants.js
modified: src/plugins/persistence/couch/CouchSearchProvider.js
modified: src/plugins/userIndicator/components/UserIndicator.vue
modified: src/plugins/userIndicator/plugin.js
modified: src/plugins/userIndicator/pluginSpec.js

@scottbell can you take a look?

[scottbell]

Ah, these were all modified/added after the previous PR. @unlikelyzero how do you want to handle this going forward?

[unlikelyzero]

@scottbell can you make another PR against release/1.8.4 with those changes?

I'm not sure if we need to automate this any further. This was likely just a case of a bad backmerge, right?

Yeah, this was caused by people creating new files before my PR went in. It should happen less and less.
