Creates releases with:
- metadata-assets-{version}.zip: All generated XLSX data dictionaries
- destination_versions.txt: Complete list of destination versions
- changed_versions.txt: Diff from previous release (added/changed/removed)
Workflow:
1. Manually triggered with release_version input
2. Checks out both data-engineering and product-metadata repos
3. Generates metadata assets using new CLI command
4. Generates destination versions list
5. Diffs against previous release (graceful fallback for first release)
6. Creates GitHub release with all artifacts
Usage:
Run manually from Actions tab, provide version (e.g., 24v3)
Changes: 1. Use 'dcpy' instead of 'python -m dcpy' (editable install) 2. Use 'dcpy lifecycle package metadata list-versions' instead of inline Python 3. Use 'dcpy lifecycle package metadata diff-versions' for version comparison 4. Simplify release notes (removed per-product details for now) Commands used: - dcpy lifecycle package metadata generate - dcpy lifecycle package metadata list-versions - dcpy lifecycle package metadata diff-versions
Removes Docker container overhead (~1GB download, slower startup). Uses actions/setup-python@v5 for Python 3.11 installation. Benefits: - Faster startup (no container pull) - Simpler dependency management - Sufficient for static file generation tasks
Outputs:
- changed_versions.txt: Human-readable diff
- changed_versions.json: Machine-readable for distribution workflows
JSON format enables downstream workflows to:
1. Parse changed/added destinations
2. Create distribution matrix: [{product, dataset, version}]
3. Spawn parallel distribution jobs per product.dataset
Example JSON usage in distribution workflow:
strategy:
matrix:
include: ${{ fromJson(needs.release.outputs.changed_destinations) }}
