Release Notes

wmflib Changelog

v1.2.5 (2024-04-18)

Minor improvements

constants: add the new magru datacenter.

v1.2.4 (2023-11-28)

Bug fixes

  • constants: update ns2.wikimedia.org IP address as it was recently changed.

  • requests: fix import of urllib’s Retry to be imported directly instead of importing it from requests to avoid mypy confusion.

Miscellanea

  • documentation: extend the @retry decorator documentation adding the formula to calculate the total delay given the number of tries and the delay argument for the different backoff strategies.

  • tox.ini: use directly sphinx-build instead of setup.py to generate the documentation, this prevents a deprecation warning or failure with the newest Sphinx.

  • tox.ini: remove optimization for tox <4. Tox 4 will not re-use the environments because of the different names, so removing this tox <4 optimization as it’s making subsequent runs slower with tox 4+.

v1.2.3 (2023-07-31)

Bug fixes

  • irc: handle custom logging formatters, when set allow the message to be formatted according to them.

Miscellanea

  • irc: refactored code and tests to simplify the code and improve readability.

v1.2.2 (2023-04-27)

Bug fixes

  • dns: clarify the type of the nameserver_addresses argument of the Dns class to adhere to the dnspython one.

  • dns: convert the sequence of nameserver_addresses to list to adhere to what dnspython is expecting.

  • requests: rename the type alias TypeTimeout to TimeoutType to adhere to pylint naming formats.

Miscellanea

  • tox: disable bandit’s request_without_timeout check in tests due to false positives.

v1.2.1 (2023-02-02)

Minor improvements

  • interactive: log the response to ask_input for easier troubleshooting. Indirectly logs also the response to ask_confirmation and confirm_on_failure.

  • interactive: allow free responses in ask_input (T327408):

    • Allow the answer to ask_input to be free-form using a custom validator callable.

    • The choices argument must be set to an empty sequence when the custom validator is set.

    • Add additional validation to fail in case choices is empty and no validator is provided or if the choices argument is non empty and the validator one is also set.

  • requests: allow to skip the session retry logic. In some cases, for example when using the @retry decorator from the decorators module, a client code might want to just set the UA and the timeout without any retry logic.

Miscellanea

  • prometheus: fix typo in docstring.

  • doc: set default language.

  • doc: update URL to requests library timeouts documetation page.

  • Add configuration file for the WMF-specific release script.

  • flake8: move all flake8 config to setup.cfg.

  • tox: add --no-external-config to prospector.

  • tests: remove unnecessary pylint disable

  • setup.py: specify python_requires.

  • setup.py: add support for Python 3.10 and 3.11.

  • setup.py: force a newer sphinx_rtd_theme to avoid a rendering bug of the older version.

v1.2.0 (2022-04-04)

New features

  • prometheus: add support for Thanos

    • Extract the common functionalities into a PrometheusBase class.

    • Have the existing Prometheus class inherit from PrometheusBase.

    • Add a new Thanos class that inherits from PrometheusBase to query the Thanos endpoint.

    • For Thanos queries set the deduplicate parameter always to true and the partial response one always to false to ensure to have unique data and all the data, respectively.

    • See also the Thanos#Global_view Wikitech page.

Minor improvements

  • prometheus: allow to specify a different Prometheus instance from the default ops one, while keeping backward compatibility.

Bug fixes

  • interactive: catch Ctrl+c / Ctrl+d on ask_input() to handle them properly.

Miscellanea

  • requests: fix docstring regarding the timeout type.

v1.1.2 (2022-03-09)

Bug fixes

  • requests: fix backward compatibility with urllib3 also in the tests.

v1.1.1 (2022-03-09)

Bug fixes

  • requests: fix backward compatibility with urllib3

    • Versions before 1.26.0 accept only the old parameter name ‘method_whitelist’, that will be removed in version 2.0.

    • Keep backward compatibility with previous versions of urllib3.

v1.1.0 (2022-03-09)

Minor improvements

  • requests: allow to customize the list of HTTP methods and HTTP status codes that should trigger a retry as the existing generic values might need to be tweaked at times.

Miscellanea

  • prospector: ignore deprecation message

    • The latest prospector issues a deprecated message for the pep8 and pep257 tools that have been renamed to pycodestyle and pydocstyle respectively. The new names are incompatible with prospector < 1.7.0, so for now keep the old names and disable the deprecation warning.

v1.0.2 (2022-02-14)

Bug fixes

  • requests: fix timeout parameter of http_session() so that is gets always propagated to the underlying calls to the requests library as that was not always the case. Clarify in the documentation how to unset the timeout for a single call when using this session.

v1.0.1 (2022-02-09)

Minor improvements

  • requests: add support to specify connection and read timeouts separately.

    • Set the default connection timeout to 3s and keep the existing read timeout to 5s.

Miscellanea

  • setup.py: temporarily add upper limit to dnspython, the latest 2.2.0 version generates mypy issues.

v1.0.0 (2021-11-11)

Minor improvements

  • constants: add the new drmrs datacenter to existing constants.

  • constants: add CORE_DATACENTERS constant currently defined in Spicerack.

  • Adopt pathlib.Path everywhere in the project:

    • Accept both str and os.PathLike objects in the config and fileio modules for file name parameters.

    • Use pathlib.Path instead of the os.path functions across the project.

  • style: adopt f-strings, converting all format() calls to f-strings when feasible.

  • interactive: change input prefix to ==>:

    • Change the input prefix from >>> to ==> to allow for code examples in an interactive Python console to be used in docstrings as documentation without having issues with the syntax highlighter.

  • docs: add usage examples to all modules.

Miscellanea

  • versioning: fully adopt semantic versioning starting with this release.

  • pylint: fix newly reported issues.

v0.0.9 (2021-08-04)

Minor improvements

  • decorators: improve the @retry decorator.

    • Add a new optional dynamic_params_callbacks parameter to the @retry decorator.

    • This parameter accepts a tuple of callbacks that will be called by the decorator and allow them to modify the parameters of the decorator itself at runtime.

    • Fix the signature of retry now that the upstream bug in pylint has been fixed and the newer version is included in prospector. This allows to remove some type ingore that were required before.

  • idm: make the cn and uid arguments of logoutd_args() both required so that the logoutd scripts that adhere to this API can safely rely on both being present. The logout cookbook is already passing both parameters anyway.

Miscellanea

  • idm: fix typo in docstring.

v0.0.8 (2021-06-23)

New features

  • idm: add a new idm module with support for global logout (T283242):

    • To ensure that all Python logout scripts will have the same set of arguments and to reduce everyone repeating the same argparse block, a LogoutdBase abstract class was added.

    • It features also a logoutd_args() function that provides the common argparse setup for all the logoutd scripts.

    • See the module’s documentation for example usages.

Minor improvements

  • constants: add DATACENTER_NUMBERING_PREFIX constant to map datacenter names to their numbering prefix used in hostnames.

Bug fixes

  • interactive: also check term for tmux in ensure_shell_is_durable().

  • tests: fix pip backtracking moving prospector tests to their own virtual environments.

Miscellanea

  • Add official support for Python 3.9

  • fileio: uniform quotes used in the file.

  • setup.py: add types dependencies for mypy for the dependencies that don’t have yet type hints.

  • CHANGELOG: fix typo in the v0.0.7 release notes.

v0.0.7 (2021-02-18)

New features

  • dns: update DNS to support multiple namservers.

    • This allows cookbooks to configure the Dns with multiple nameservers, for example:

      dns = Dns(nameserver_addresses=['91.198.174.239', '208.80.153.231'])

      and thus allow users to get authoritative answers whiles also making use of DNS failover to account for any on going work on a specific nameserver while the cookbook is running.

      The PUBLIC_AUTHDNS constant holds the auth server ips, given that they change very infrequently.

  • fileio: add new module to manage file I/O operations.

    • Add a locked_open() context manager to open a file with an exclusive lock to be used like the buil-in open().

Miscellanea

  • tests: cover untested property in the irc module.

  • CHANGELOG: fix typo.

  • tests: pylint, remove unnecessary disable comments.

v0.0.6 (2021-01-04)

Miscellanea

    • Convert ask_confirmation() to use the ask_input() function.

    • Add an InputError and AbortError exception classes.

    • Add a confirm_on_failure() function to run any callable, and on failure ask the user to either retry, skip the step or abort the whole execution.
