StackStorm v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-12-07 // over 8 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    
* ➕ Add SSH bastion host support to the paramiko SSH runner. Utilizes same connection parameters as
  the targeted box. (new feature, improvement) #2144, #2150 [Logan Attwood]
* ⏱ Introduce a new ``timeout`` action execution status which represents an action execution
  timeout. Previously, executions which timed out had status set to ``failure``. Keep in mind
  that timeout is just a special type of a failure. (new feature)
* 👍 Allow jinja templating to be used in ``message`` and ``data`` field for notifications.(new feature)
* ➕ Add tools for purging executions (also, liveactions with it) and trigger instances older than
  certain UTC timestamp from the db in bulk.
* Introducing ``noop`` runner and ``core.noop`` action. Returns consistent success in a WF regardless of
  user input. (new feature)
* ➕ Add mock classes (``st2tests.mocks.*``) for easier unit testing of the packs. (new feature)
* ➕ Add a script (``./st2common/bin/st2-run-pack-tests``) for running pack tests. (new feature)
* 👌 Support for formatting of alias acknowledgement and result messages in AliasExecution. (new feature)
* 👌 Support for "representation+value" format strings in aliases. (new feature)
* 👌 Support for disabled result and acknowledgement messages in aliases. (new feature)
* ➕ Add ability to write rule enforcement (models that represent a rule evaluation that resulted
  in an action execution) to db to help debugging rules easier. Also, CLI bindings to list
  and view these models are added. (new-feature)

🔄 Changed
    • 🔨 Refactor retries in the Mistral action runner to use exponential backoff. Configuration options for Mistral have changed. (improvement)
    • ⚡️ Update action chain runner so it performs on-success and on-error task name validation during pre_run time. This way common errors such as typos in the task names can be spotted early on since there is no need to wait for the run time.
    • 🔄 Change headers and params core.http action paramer type from string to object.
    • Don't allow action parameter type attribute to be an array since rest of the code doesn't support parameters with multiple types. (improvement)
    • ⚡️ Update local runner so all the commands which are executed as a different user and result in using sudo set $HOME variable to the home directory of the target user. (improvement)
    • Include state_info for Mistral workflow and tasks in the action execution result. (improvement)
    • --debug flag no longer implies profiling mode. If you want to enable profiling mode, you need to explicitly pass --profile flag to the binary. To reproduce the old behavior, simply pass both flags to the binary - --debug --profile.
    • 📜 Modify ActionAliasFormatParser to work with regular expressions and support more flexible parameter matching. (improvement)
    • 🚚 Move ChatOps pack to st2 core.
    • Purge tool now uses delete_by_query and offloads delete to mongo and doesn't perform app side explicit model deletion to improve speed. (improvement)

    🛠 Fixed

    
* 🛠 Fix trigger parameters validation for system triggers during rule creation - make sure we
  validate the parameters before creating a TriggerDB object. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix a bug with a user inside the context of the live action which was created using alias
  execution endpoint incorrectly being set to the system user (``stanley``) instead of the
  authenticated user which triggered the execution. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix policy loading and registering - make sure we validate policy parameters against the
  parameters schema when loading / registering policies. (bug fix, improvement)
* 🛠 Fix policy trigger for action execution cancellation. (bug fix)
* 👌 Improve error reporting for static error in ActionChain definition e.g. incorrect reference
  in default etc. (improvement)
* 🛠 Fix action chain so it doesn't end up in an infinite loop if an action which is part of the chain
  is canceled. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix json representation of trace in cli. (bug fix)
* Add missing indexes on trigger_instance_d_b collection. (bug fix)
