# Releasing
|
|
|
|
## Determine which module to release
|
|
|
|
The Go client libraries have several modules. Each module does not strictly
|
|
correspond to a single library - they correspond to trees of directories. If a
|
|
file needs to be released, you must release the closest ancestor module.
|
|
|
|
To see all modules:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cat `find . -name go.mod` | grep module
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/pubsub
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/spanner
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/bigtable
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/bigquery
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/storage
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/pubsublite
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/firestore
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/logging
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/internal/gapicgen
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/internal/godocfx
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/internal/examples/fake
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/internal/examples/mock
|
|
module cloud.google.com/go/datastore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `cloud.google.com/go` is the repository root module. Each other module is
|
|
a submodule.
|
|
|
|
So, if you need to release a change in `bigtable/bttest/inmem.go`, the closest
|
|
ancestor module is `cloud.google.com/go/bigtable` - so you should release a new
|
|
version of the `cloud.google.com/go/bigtable` submodule.
|
|
|
|
If you need to release a change in `asset/apiv1/asset_client.go`, the closest
|
|
ancestor module is `cloud.google.com/go` - so you should release a new version
|
|
of the `cloud.google.com/go` repository root module. Note: releasing
|
|
`cloud.google.com/go` has no impact on any of the submodules, and vice-versa.
|
|
They are released entirely independently.
|
|
|
|
## Test failures
|
|
|
|
If there are any test failures in the Kokoro build, releases are blocked until
|
|
the failures have been resolved.
|
|
|
|
## How to release
|
|
|
|
### Automated Releases (`cloud.google.com/go` and submodules)
|
|
|
|
We now use [release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please) to
|
|
perform automated releases for `cloud.google.com/go` and all submodules.
|
|
|
|
1. If there are changes that have not yet been released, a
|
|
[pull request](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/pull/2971) will
|
|
be automatically opened by release-please
|
|
with a title like "chore: release X.Y.Z" (for the root module) or
|
|
"chore: release datastore X.Y.Z" (for the datastore submodule), where X.Y.Z
|
|
is the next version to be released. Find the desired pull request
|
|
[here](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/pulls)
|
|
1. Check for failures in the
|
|
[continuous Kokoro build](http://go/google-cloud-go-continuous). If there are
|
|
any failures in the most recent build, address them before proceeding with
|
|
the release. (This applies even if the failures are in a different submodule
|
|
from the one being released.)
|
|
1. Review the release notes. These are automatically generated from the titles
|
|
of any merged commits since the previous release. If you would like to edit
|
|
them, this can be done by updating the changes in the release PR.
|
|
1. To cut a release, approve and merge the pull request. Doing so will
|
|
update the `CHANGES.md`, tag the merged commit with the appropriate version,
|
|
and draft a GitHub release which will copy the notes from `CHANGES.md`.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Release (`cloud.google.com/go`)
|
|
|
|
If for whatever reason the automated release process is not working as expected,
|
|
here is how to manually cut a release of `cloud.google.com/go`.
|
|
|
|
1. Check for failures in the
|
|
[continuous Kokoro build](http://go/google-cloud-go-continuous). If there are
|
|
any failures in the most recent build, address them before proceeding with
|
|
the release.
|
|
1. Navigate to `google-cloud-go/` and switch to master.
|
|
1. `git pull`
|
|
1. Run `git tag -l | grep -v beta | grep -v alpha` to see all existing releases.
|
|
The current latest tag `$CV` is the largest tag. It should look something
|
|
like `vX.Y.Z` (note: ignore all `LIB/vX.Y.Z` tags - these are tags for a
|
|
specific library, not the module root). We'll call the current version `$CV`
|
|
and the new version `$NV`.
|
|
1. On master, run `git log $CV...` to list all the changes since the last
|
|
release. NOTE: You must manually visually parse out changes to submodules [1]
|
|
(the `git log` is going to show you things in submodules, which are not going
|
|
to be part of your release).
|
|
1. Edit `CHANGES.md` to include a summary of the changes.
|
|
1. In `internal/version/version.go`, update `const Repo` to today's date with
|
|
the format `YYYYMMDD`.
|
|
1. In `internal/version` run `go generate`.
|
|
1. Commit the changes, ignoring the generated `.go-r` file. Push to your fork,
|
|
and create a PR titled `chore: release $NV`.
|
|
1. Wait for the PR to be reviewed and merged. Once it's merged, and without
|
|
merging any other PRs in the meantime:
|
|
a. Switch to master.
|
|
b. `git pull`
|
|
c. Tag the repo with the next version: `git tag $NV`.
|
|
d. Push the tag to origin:
|
|
`git push origin $NV`
|
|
1. Update [the releases page](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/releases)
|
|
with the new release, copying the contents of `CHANGES.md`.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Releases (submodules)
|
|
|
|
If for whatever reason the automated release process is not working as expected,
|
|
here is how to manually cut a release of a submodule.
|
|
|
|
(these instructions assume we're releasing `cloud.google.com/go/datastore` - adjust accordingly)
|
|
|
|
1. Check for failures in the
|
|
[continuous Kokoro build](http://go/google-cloud-go-continuous). If there are
|
|
any failures in the most recent build, address them before proceeding with
|
|
the release. (This applies even if the failures are in a different submodule
|
|
from the one being released.)
|
|
1. Navigate to `google-cloud-go/` and switch to master.
|
|
1. `git pull`
|
|
1. Run `git tag -l | grep datastore | grep -v beta | grep -v alpha` to see all
|
|
existing releases. The current latest tag `$CV` is the largest tag. It
|
|
should look something like `datastore/vX.Y.Z`. We'll call the current version
|
|
`$CV` and the new version `$NV`.
|
|
1. On master, run `git log $CV.. -- datastore/` to list all the changes to the
|
|
submodule directory since the last release.
|
|
1. Edit `datastore/CHANGES.md` to include a summary of the changes.
|
|
1. In `internal/version` run `go generate`.
|
|
1. Commit the changes, ignoring the generated `.go-r` file. Push to your fork,
|
|
and create a PR titled `chore(datastore): release $NV`.
|
|
1. Wait for the PR to be reviewed and merged. Once it's merged, and without
|
|
merging any other PRs in the meantime:
|
|
a. Switch to master.
|
|
b. `git pull`
|
|
c. Tag the repo with the next version: `git tag $NV`.
|
|
d. Push the tag to origin:
|
|
`git push origin $NV`
|
|
1. Update [the releases page](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/releases)
|
|
with the new release, copying the contents of `datastore/CHANGES.md`.
