Palm Cli Versions Save

2.1.0

12/01/2021

Our first minor release on v2 includes containerization, support for older Python versions, and added logo and brand assets!

Features:

• Containerize: NEW command added for containerization of Python projects with palm containerize
• Shell: NEW command to shell into the project container and execute arbitrary commands
• Plugin generator: NEW command to generate the boilerplate code for writing a new plugin
• Excluded commands: Added the ability to exclude/disable palm commands from a project's config
• run_on_host: Added a new function, ctx.obj.run_on_host, to assist with developing new commands to run on your local machine, standardizing the interface around Python's subprocess with platform and version agnostic support (well, version agnostic >= 3.6.9).
• Logo/Branding: We have a logo!! It is 90's retro and it is cool. Also added branding guidelines

Improvements:

• Command availability: Added lint and test commands to the palm core plugin
• Workflow: New Github Actions workflow to lint contributions to the project on new Pull Request
• Backwards compatibility: Added backwards compatibility support for older Python versions through v3.6.9
• Documentation: Added new docs and examples of palm use cases and impact

Updates to configuration and package name due to an unexpected naming conflict in pypi

This major version marks our first open-source release, and thus the first version with a changelog entry!

Features

• Plugins commands for Palm CLI are now largely driven by a plugin architecture. All commands in Palm are made available by one of several plugins. The core plugin and repo plugin are part of the Palm-cli repository and provide global commands as well as commands defined within the project's .palm directory. Additional plugins such as palm-dbt can be installed on the user's machine and configured for use on a per-project basis. See the plugin section of the docs for more information
• Palm config Palm now reads a config.yaml file from the current project's .palm directory. This configuration enables the plugin architecture and allows us more flexibility around protecting specific branches and determining the docker image name.
• Dependency detection Since docker is a core requirement for using Palm, we added checks to ensure docker and docker-compose are installed and running.
• Documentation Palm documentation has been enhanced with readthedocs, and now includes standard documentation for OSS projects, e.g. Contribution guide, code of conduct, and this changelog!
• Test suite Palm now has a good baseline of test coverage!

Improvements

• General cleanup - Code was reformatted for PEP8 compliance
• Naming - Renamed run_in_shell to run_in_docker, run_in_shell will be deprecated in a future version.
