Creating a Release

Prerequisites

  • Change log needs to be up to date

  • Latest change log version needs to match project and package version

  • Release tag needs to match package, changelog and project version

    For Example:

    • Tag: 0.4.0

    • Changelog: changes_0.4.0.md

    • `poetry version -s`: 0.4.0

Triggering the Release

In order to trigger a release a new tag must be pushed to Github. For further details see: .github/workflows/ci-cd.yml.

  1. Create a local tag with the appropriate version number

    git tag x.y.z

  2. Push the tag to Github

    git tag push origin x.y.z

What to do if the release failed?

The release failed during pre-release checks

  1. Delete the local tag

    git tag -d x.y.z

  2. Delete the remote tag

    git push --delete origin x.y.z

  3. Fix the issue(s) which lead to the failing checks

  4. Start the release process from the beginning

One of the release steps failed (Partial Release)

  1. Check the Github action/workflow to see which steps failed

  2. Finish or redo the failed release steps manually

Note

Example

Scenario: Publishing of the release on Github was successfull but during the PyPi release, the upload step got interrupted.

Solution: Manually push the package to PyPi
