Changelog#

1.4.8 / 0.20.8 (libraries)#

New#

• A new @partitioned_config decorator has been added for defined configuration for partitioned jobs. Thanks @danielgafni!
• [dagster-aws] The ConfigurablePickledObjectS3IOManager has been renamed S3PickleIOManager for simplicity. The ConfigurablePickledObjecS3IOManager will continue to be available but is considered deprecated in favor of S3PickleIOManager. There is no change in the functionality of the I/O manager.
• [dagster-azure] The ConfigurablePickledObjectADLS2IOManager has been renamed ADLS2PickleIOManager for simplicity. The ConfigurablePickledObjectADLS2IOManager will continue to be available but is considered deprecated in favor of ADLS2PickleIOManager. There is no change in the functionality of the I/O manager.
• [dagster-dbt] When an exception is raised when invoking a dbt command using DbtCliResource, the exception message now includes a link to the dbt.log produced. This log file can be inspected for debugging.
• [dagster-gcp] The ConfigurablePickledObjectGCSIOManager has been renamed GCSPickleIOManager for simplicity. The ConfigurablePickledObjecGCSIOManager will continue to be available but is considered deprecated in favor of GCSPickleIOManager. There is no change in the functionality of the I/O manager.

Bugfixes#

• Fixed a bug that caused a DagsterInvariantViolationError when executing a multi-asset where both assets have self-dependencies on earlier partitions.
• Fixed an asset backfill issue where some runs continue to be submitted after a backfill is requested for cancellation.
• [dagster-dbt] Fixed an issue where using the --debug flag raised an exception in the Dagster framework.
• [ui] “Launched run” and “Launched backfill” toasts in the Dagster UI behave the same way. To open in a new tab, hold the cmd/ctrl key when clicking “View”
• [ui] When opening step compute logs, the view defaults to stderr which aligns with Python’s logging defaults.
• [ui] When viewing a global asset graph with more than 100 assets, the “choose a subset to display” prompt is correctly aligned to the query input.

Community Contributions#

• Fix for loading assets with a BackfillPolicy, thanks @ruizh22!

Experimental#

• [dagster-graphql] The Dagster GraphQL Python client now includes a default timeout of 300 seconds for each query, to ensure that GraphQL requests don’t hang and never return a response. If you are running a query that is expected to take longer than 300 seconds, you can set the timeout argument when constructing a DagsterGraphQLClient.
• [ui] We are continuing to improve the new horizontal rendering of the asset graph, which you can enable in Settings. This release increases spacing between nodes and improves the traceability of arrows on the graph.

Documentation#

• Several Pythonic resources and I/O managers now have API docs entries.
• Updated the tutorial’s example project and content to be more explicit about resources.
• [dagster-dbt] Added API docs examples for DbtCliResource and DbtCliResource.cli(...).
• Some code samples in API docs for InputContext and OutputContext have been fixed. Thanks @Sergey Mezentsev!

Dagster Cloud#

• When setting up a new organization by importing a dbt project, using GitLab is now supported.

1.4.7 / 0.20.7 (libraries)#

Experimental#

• Added a respect_materialization_data_versions option to auto materialization. It can enabled in dagster.yaml with

  auto_materialize:
    respect_materialization_data_versions: True
  

  This flag may be changed or removed in the near future.

1.4.6 / 0.20.6 (libraries)#

New#

• ops or assets with multiple outputs that are all required and return type None/ Nothing will interpret an explicitly or implicitly returned value None to indicate that all outputs were successful.
• The skip_reason argument to the constructor of SensorResult now accepts a string in addition to a SkipReason.
• [dagster-k8s] Added a step_k8s_config field to k8s_job_executor that allows you to customize the raw Kubernetes config for each step in a job. See the docs for more information.
• [dagster-k8s] Launched run pods now have an additional code location label.
• [dagster-ui] The runs table now lets you toggle which tags are always visible.
• [dagster-dbt] dagster-dbt project scaffold now creates the scaffold in multiple files:
  • constants.py contains a reference to your manifest and dbt project directory
  • assets.py contains your initial dbt assets definitions
  • definitions.py contains the code to load your asset definitions into the Dagster UI
  • schedules.py contains an optional schedule to add for your dbt assets
• [dagster-dbt] Added new methods get_auto_materialize_policy and get_freshness_policy to DagsterDbtTranslator.
• [dagster-fivertran] Sync options can now be passed to load_assets_from_fivetran_instance.
• [dagster-wandb] W&B IO Manager now handles partitions natively. (Thanks @chrishiste!)

Bugfixes#

• Previously, canceling large asset backfills would cause the daemon to time out and display a “not running” error. This has been fixed.
• [dagster-ssh] Previously the SSHResource would warn when allow_host_key_change was set. Now known hosts are always loaded from the system hosts file, and the allow_host_key_change parameter is ignored.
• Previously, when using AutoMaterializePolicies, partitioned assets downstream of partitioned observable source assets could be materialized before their parent partitions were observed. This has been fixed.

Documentation#

• @graph_multi_asset now has an API docs entry.
• The GCSComputeLogManager example in the Dagster Instance reference is now correct.
• Several outdated K8s documentation links have been removed from the Customizing your Kubernetes deployment guide.
• Added callouts to the GitHub and GitLab Branch Deployment guides specifying that some steps are optional for Serverless users.
• The “Graphs” page under the “Concepts” section has been renamed to “Op Graphs” and moved inside under the “Ops” heading.
• [dagster-dbt] Added API examples for @dbt_assets for the following use-cases:
  • Running dbt commands with flags
  • Running dbt commands with --vars
  • Running multiple dbt commands
  • Retrieving dbt artifacts after running a dbt command
  • Invoking other Dagster resouces alongside dbt
  • Defining and accessing Dagster config alongside dbt

Dagster Cloud#

• The viewer role now has permission to edit their own user tokens.

1.4.5 / 0.20.5 (libraries)#

New#

• @graph_asset now takes a config parameter equivalent to the parameter on @graph.
• Added an optional dynamic_partitions_store argument to DynamicPartitionsDefinition for multi-partition run properly with dynamic partitions (Thanks @elzzz!).
• [dagster-grpahql] Added partitionsByAssets to backfillParams for ranged partition backfill (Thanks @ruizh22!).
• [dagster-dbt] Support for dbt-core==1.6 has been added.
• [dagster-dbt] DbtCliResource now supports configuring profiles_dir.
• [dagster-k8s] Allow specifying restart_policy on k8s_job_op (Thanks @Taadas!).
• [dagster-snowflake] Added authenticator to SnowflakePandasIOManager, which allows specifying the authentication mechanism to use (Thanks @pengw0048!).
• [ui] The Asset > Events page now allows you to filter by event type, making it easy to hide observations.
• [ui] The Asset > Partitions page checks to see if the selected partition is stale and displays stale causes in the details pane.
• [ui] Hovering over "Fresh" tags now provides detailed information about why the last materialization meets the asset's freshness policy.
• [ui] The global asset graph can now be filtered to display a subset of the available asset groups.

Bugfixes#

• In some situations, multiple materializations of the same asset could be kicked off when using a lazy AutoMaterializePolicy with assets that had at least one source asset parent and at least one non-source asset parent. This has been fixed.
• After applying an eager AutoMaterializePolicy to a time-partitioned asset downstream of an unpartitioned asset, the latest partition would only ever be materialized a single time, rather than updating in response to any parent updates. This has been fixed.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the creation of a StaticPartitionsDefinition containing many thousands of partitions could take a significant amount of time.
• The run coordinator daemon now uses a fresh request context on each iteration, fixing an issue where stale grpc server references could be used in certain high volume conditions.
• Automatically generated data versions for partitioned assets now correctly reflect the data versions of upstream partitions. Previously, they were computed using the data versions from the most recent materializations of upstream assets regardless of partition.
• [dagster-airbyte] Previously, attempting to load assets from an Airbyte instance in which some of the tables had hyphens in their name would result in an error. This has been fixed.
• [dagster-dbt] Previously, attempting to load assets from a dbt project in which some of the models had hyphens in their name would result in an error. This has been fixed.
• [dagstermill] Fixed a bug where known state for executing dagstermill ops was not correctly passed in (Thanks @motuzov!).
• [ui] Pressing the up or down arrow key without a selection in the asset graph no longer causes a page error.

Documentation#

• Added the starter project’s template for Dagster University.
• Fixed an incorrect method name in DagsterDbtTranslator Docs (Thanks @akan72!).

Dagster Cloud#

• When importing a dbt project on the Dagster Cloud setup page, an Unexpected exception error would be raised when scaffolding a pull request on a repository with no profiles.yml. This behavior has been updated to raise a more descriptive error message on the repo selection page.
• The running multiple agents guide has been revamped to discuss running agent replicas and zero-downtime deployment of the agent.
• The agentReplicas config setting on the helm chart has been renamed to isolatedAgents. In order to use this config setting, your user code dagster version needs to be 1.4.3 or greater.

1.4.4 / 0.20.4 (libraries)#

New#

• [ui] When viewing a run for auto-materialized assets, show a tag with information about the assets that were materialized.
• [ui] In the Auto-materialize History view, when one or more of an asset’s parents have been updated, the set of updated parents will be viewable.
• [ui] Link to the auto-materialized history for an asset from the asset DAG view.
• [ui] For runs that were the result of auto-observation, show a tag for this in the Runs list view.
• Added warnings for storage incompatibility with the experimental global op concurrency.

Bugfixes#

• [dagster-dbt] Fixed an issue where dagster-dbt project scaffold didn’t create a project directory with all the scaffolded files.
• Fixed an issue which could cause errors when using the SpecificPartitionsPartitionMapping with auto-materialization.

Breaking Change#

• Previously, it was possible to set max_materializations_per_minute on an AutoMaterializePolicy to a non-positive number. This will now result in an error.

Community Contributions#

• Fix for loading multipartitions paths in upath_io_manager from @harrylojames; thank you!
• Docs typo fix from @C0DK; thank you!

Documentation#

• Revamped the dagster-dbt tutorial to take advantage of dagster project scaffold and the new dagster-dbt APIs.
