1.5.2

This is a bug-fix/patch release for ops 1.5 addressing a few important issues including:

• Fix harness model uuid to use the correct/current format used by juju (#782).
• Include the missing departing unit attribute on relation-departed events when using the harness (#790).
• Remove restrictive limits on the number and size of relation data items that can be set (#805).
• Fix type annotations that were causing failures in Ubuntu xenial based environments - i.e. python 3.5 (#810).

Notably, this release was carefully crafted to not break your code. If it does - please complain loudly and we will address problems after completing a good, forceful facepalm.

1.5.1

This release mistakenly excluded one important bugfix. Please skip it - use 1.5.2 instead.

1.5.0

The Operator Framework team is proud to release version 1.5.0 of the Operator Framework! This is a modestly sized release with a few new, non breaking features.

Highlights

• Harness support for simulating storage mounts during testing - allowing disk IO to mounted filepaths and sharing data between shared mounts in charm and workload (via e.g. pebble operations) containers. This should "just work" - as long as you use the storage mount paths provided via e.g. self.model.storages['storage-name'][0].location which you should already be doing anyway (right?).
• New Container.push_path and Container.pull_path methods for recursively pushing/pulling directories to/from workload containers.
• We've begun to implement complete type annotations to improve auto-completion and robustness. Over the next release or so type annotation coverage will continue to improve.

ops 1.3.0

The Operator Framework team is proud to release version 1.3.0 of the Operator Framework!

OF 1.3.0 adds support for running one-shot commands via Pebble with the Container.exec method. This functionality uses the new Pebble “exec” API, which behaves similarly to lxd exec or kubectl exec – the Pebble CLI has a corresponding pebble exec command. The tool allows an operator to run a one-off command inside the workload container. It is very useful for troubleshooting, as well as performing maintenance tasks that haven’t yet been formalized as an action in a charm.

This release also includes a change to juju debug-code. The command now stops on all events and hooks, allowing charm authors to enter a debugging session without needing to specify a specific hook in advance. Charm authors can still access the old behavior by explicitly calling juju debug-code --at .

OF 1.3.0 adds a mocked out filesystem to the testing harness. Charm authors can now attach and detach virtual storage, and read and write files to the test filesystem. This feature has been long requested, and allows for much more complete unit test coverage for charms.

Additionally, the charmed operator framework now exposes a “planned unit count,” to allow charms to handle HA config and similar features that require a peer count in advance of the peers actually coming online. The information supplied by this feature, comprising a single int that represents the number of peers (inclusive of the current unit) an application is expected to have, is intentionally minimalist. Charm authors should use this feature to save unnecessary execution of HA setup in an environment that doesn’t need it (or unnecessary non HA setup in an environment that does). Code paths using the feature should understand that the int can change, and that it does not include a guarantee that the units will be available. (If there is a deploy issue with a unit, for example, the planned unit count will not be reached until a human operator intervenes and resolves the issue.)

Beyond these highlights, 1.3.0 includes many minor features and bugfixes. A complete list follows:

Features:

Include task logs in ChangeError.str (#653)
Add support for storage to the testing harness.
Add send_signal to pebble.Client and model.Container (#669)

Full Changelog: 1.2.0...1.3.0

ops 1.2.0

A new release of the Charmed Operator Framework.

This release adds support for new ways of writing operators for kubernetes. Having your operator in a sidecar of the workload provides much more control over how the workload is running and configured. This adds attributes like Charm.unit.containers to interact with the other containers that are part of your pod. There is also updated testing infrastructure for ensuring that your charm is instantiating services in the shared containers correctly.

See our updated documentation (https://juju.is/docs/sdk/constructs) for how the new structure works.

This also includes fixes for:

• #475 (lp:1914415) Ensure the Relation.app attribute is set correctly
• #507 Network-get can return empty addresses

ops 1.1.0

This is a maintenance release, which includes tweaks to the README and some
docstrings, a __repr__ method for the several Stored* classes, and support
for charms that include an empty actions.yaml.

1.0.1:

• Don't skip interfaces without names: they don't have names on k8s

1.0.0

• We added quite a few docstrings, and a test that will fail if something
  is missing docstrings.

• We're more tolerant of missing fields in the output of network-get,
  which can happen in some situations.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

• Charm authors can run self.config from a charm method instead of having
  to do self.model.config.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

• Some ways of installing ops can result in not loading the libyaml
  extensions from PyYAML, giving a performance penalty. ops will warn
  when this happens so it can be remedied, but it would also warn when
  running the test suite which raises the barrier for developers wanting to
  contribute to ops itself. So now we ignore that.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

• The hooks_disabled context manager can now be nested.
  Thanks to @stub42 for this one.

• When using Juju for storage (either automatically by running on
  kubernetes with a new enough Juju, or manually via passing
  use_juju_for_storage=True to main), events defered would never be
  re-emitted. This is #438, found with help from @davigar15.

• ObjectEvents now have a __repr__ which lists all events it knows about,
  which can be helpful when debugging (or even developing) a complex charm.

• sys.breakpointhook is only set from main, not from
  Framework.__init__, meaning it won't interfere with using the
  breakpoint() builtin from tests.

• tests will now fail if a docstring is missing (or malformed).

This is version 0.10.0 of `ops`, the Operator Framework for Juju charms.

Changes include:

• deleting a non-existent key from relation data will no longer fail.
  Thanks to @stub42 for the fix.

• calling begin_with_initial_hooks() on the testing harness of a charm
  that has a relation that isn't set up before the call will no longer fail.
  Thanks to @zzehring for the fix.

• the testing harness now starts with default config values, specified in the
  same way as for actions.yaml and metadata.yaml (i.e. snippets if given,
  otherwise from the canonical yaml file).
  Thanks to @johnsca for the work.

• some classes now have custom __repr__ methods that should aid debugging.

• event deferral and reëmission is now logged (at DEBUG).

• if use_juju_for_storage is specified for a charm running in a Juju that does
  not support this feature, a clear and explicit error is raised.

• the public attributes of model are now immutable. This is to discourage
  people from overwriting these attributes in tests, given there is a fair
  amount of internal state. Please use the harness instead (or mocking if you
  must).

• the test suite now passes on Windows, and we run the full suite on Windows for
  every commit, as we do for linux and macos.
