StackStorm v1.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-01-22 // over 8 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    
* 👍 Allow user to pass ``env`` parameter to ``packs.setup_virtualenv`` and ``packs.install``
  action.

  This comes in handy if a user wants pip to use an HTTP(s) proxy (HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY
  environment variable) when installing pack dependencies. (new feature)
* Ability to view causation chains in Trace. This helps reduce the noise when using Trace to
  identify specific issues. (new-feature)
* Filter Trace components by model types to only view ActionExecutions, Rules or TriggerInstances.
  (new-feature)
* Include ref of the most meaningful object in each trace component. (new-feature)
* Ability to hide trigger-instance that do not yield a rule enforcement. (new-feature)
* Action and Trigger filters for rule list (new-feature)
* ➕ Add ``--register-fail-on-failure`` flag to ``st2-register-content`` script. If this flag is
  provided, the script will fail and exit with non-zero status code if registering some resource
  fails. (new feature)
* Introduce a new ``abandoned`` state that is applied to executions that we cannot guarantee as
  completed. Typically happen when an actionrunner currently running some executions quits or is
  killed via TERM.
* ➕ Add new ``st2garbagecollector`` service which periodically deletes old data from the database
  as configured in the config. By default, no old data is deleted unless explicitly configured in
  the config.
* All published variables can be available in the result of ActionChain execution under the
  ``published`` property if ``display_published`` property is specified.
* 👍 Allow user to specify TTL when creating datastore item using CLI with the ``--ttl`` option.
  (improvement)
* ➕ Add option to rerun one or more tasks in mistral workflow that has errored. (new-feature)

🔄 Changed
    • 🔄 Change the rule list columns in the CLI from ref, pack, description and enabled to ref, trigger.ref, action.ref and enabled. This aligns closer the UI and also brings important information front and center. (improvement)
    • 👌 Support for object already present in the DB for st2-rule-tester (improvement)
    • Throw a more friendly error message if casting parameter value fails because the value contains an invalid type or similar. (improvement)
    • Display execution parameters when using st2 execution get <execution id> CLI command for workflow executions. (improvement)
    • The --tasks option in the CLI for st2 execution get and st2 run will be renamed to --show-tasks to avoid conflict with the tasks option in st2 execution re-run.
    • Replace chatops.format_result with chatops.format_execution_result and remove dependency on st2 pack from st2contrib.
    • Trace also maintains causation chain through workflows.

    🗄 Deprecated

    
* 🗄 Deprecated ``params`` action attribute in the action chain definition in favor of the new
  ``parameters`` attribute. (improvement)

🛠 Fixed
~~~~~

* ➕ Add missing logrotate config entry for ``st2auth`` service. #2294 [Vignesh Terafast]
* ➕ Add a missing ``get_logger`` method to the `MockSensorService``. This method now returns an
  instance of ``Mock`` class which allows user to assert that a particular message has been
  logged. [Tim Ireland, Tomaz Muraus]
* 🛠 Fix validation error when None is passed explicitly to an optional argument on action
  execution. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix action parameters validation so that only a selected set of attributes can be overriden for
  any runner parameters. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix type in the headers parameter for the http-request runner. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix runaway action triggers caused by state miscalculation for mistral workflow. (bug fix)
* 👉 Use ``--always-copy`` option when creating virtualenv for packs from packs.setup_virtualenv
  action. This is required when st2actionrunner is kicked off from python within a virtualenv.
* 🛠 Fix a bug in the remote script runner which would throw an exception if a remote script action
  caused a top level failure (e.g. copying artifacts to a remote host failed). (bug-fix)
* 🛠 Fix execution cancellation for task of mistral workflow. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix runaway action triggers caused by state miscalculation for mistral workflow. (bug fix)
* 🛠 Fix a bug when removing notify section from an action meta and registering it never removed
  the notify section from the db. (bug fix)
* 👉 Make sure action specific short lived authentication token is deleted immediately when execution
  is cancelled. (improvement)
* 🚀 Ignore lock release errors which could occur while reopening log files. This error could simply
  indicate that the lock was never acquired.
