python-kasa/RELEASING.md

Requirements

• github client
• gitchub_changelog_generator
• github access token

Export changelog token

export CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN=token

Set release information

0.3.5 should always be the previous release as it's the last pyhs100 release in HISTORY.md which is the changelog prior to github release notes.

export NEW_RELEASE=x.x.x.devx
export PREVIOUS_RELEASE=0.3.5

Create a branch for the release

git checkout master
git fetch upstream master
git rebase upstream/master
git checkout -b release/$NEW_RELEASE

Update the version number

poetry version $NEW_RELEASE

Update dependencies

poetry install --all-extras --sync
poetry update

Run pre-commit and tests

pre-commit run --all-files
pytest kasa

Create release summary (skip for dev releases)

Write a short and understandable summary for the release. Can include images.

Create $NEW_RELEASE milestone in github

If not already created

Create new issue linked to the milestone

gh issue create --label "release-summary" --milestone $NEW_RELEASE --title "$NEW_RELEASE Release Summary" --body "## Release Summary"

You can exclude the --body option to get an interactive editor or go into the issue on github and edit there.

Close the issue

Either via github or:

gh issue close ISSUE_NUMBER

Generate changelog

For pre-release

EXCLUDE_TAGS will exclude all dev tags except for the current release dev tags.

Regex should be something like this ^((?!0\.7\.0)(.*dev\d))+. The first match group negative matches on the current release and the second matches on releases ending with dev.

EXCLUDE_TAGS=${NEW_RELEASE%.dev*}; EXCLUDE_TAGS=${EXCLUDE_TAGS//"."/"\."}; EXCLUDE_TAGS="^((?!"$EXCLUDE_TAGS")(.*dev\d))+"
echo "$EXCLUDE_TAGS"
github_changelog_generator --base HISTORY.md --user python-kasa --project python-kasa --since-tag $PREVIOUS_RELEASE --future-release $NEW_RELEASE -o CHANGELOG.md --no-issues --exclude-tags-regex "$EXCLUDE_TAGS"

For production

github_changelog_generator --base HISTORY.md --user python-kasa --project python-kasa --since-tag $PREVIOUS_RELEASE --future-release $NEW_RELEASE -o CHANGELOG.md --no-issues --exclude-tags-regex 'dev\d$'

You can ignore warnings about missing PR commits like below as these relate to PRs to branches other than master:

Warning: PR 908 merge commit was not found in the release branch or tagged git history and no rebased SHA comment was found

Export new release notes to variable

export RELEASE_NOTES=$(grep -Poz '(?<=\# Changelog\n\n)(.|\n)+?(?=\#\#)' CHANGELOG.md | tr '\0' '\n' )
echo "$RELEASE_NOTES"  # Check the output and copy paste if neccessary

Commit and push the changed files

git commit --all --verbose -m "Prepare $NEW_RELEASE"
git push upstream release/$NEW_RELEASE -u

Create a PR for the release, merge it, and re-fetch the master

Create the PR

gh pr create --title "Prepare $NEW_RELEASE" --body "$RELEASE_NOTES" --label release-prep --base master

Merge the PR once the CI passes

Create a squash commit and add the markdown from the PR description to the commit description.

gh pr merge --squash --body "$RELEASE_NOTES"

Rebase local master

git checkout master
git fetch upstream master
git rebase upstream/master

Create a release tag

Note, add changelog release notes as the tag commit message so gh release create --notes-from-tag can be used to create a release draft.

git tag --annotate $NEW_RELEASE -m "$RELEASE_NOTES"
git push upstream $NEW_RELEASE

Create release

Pre-releases

gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --verify-tag --notes-from-tag --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --draft --latest=false --prerelease

Production release

gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --verify-tag --notes-from-tag --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --draft --latest=true

Manually publish the release

Go to the linked URL, verify the contents, and click "release" button to trigger the release CI.
