- Install Node 16 and Temporal Server
- Install the Rust toolchain
- Install Protocal Buffers
- Clone the sdk-typescript repo:
git clone https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-typescript.git cd sdk-typescript
- Initialize the Core SDK submodule:
git submodule update --init --recursive
If you get a
The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.123)' can't be established.
error, runssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
and retry. - Install the dependencies:
This may take a few minutes, as it involves downloading and compiling Rust dependencies.
npm ci
- You should now be able to build:
npm run build
If building fails, resetting your environment may help:
npx lerna clean -y && npm ci
If npm ci
fails in @temporalio/core-bridge
on the command node ./scripts/build.js
, you may need to do rustup update
.
To update to the latest version of the Core SDK, run git submodule update
followed by npm run build
to recompile.
For cross compilation on MacOS follow these instructions (only required for publishing packages).
After your environment is set up, you can run these commands:
npm run build
compiles protobuf definitions, Rust bridge, C++ isolate extension, and Typescript.npm run rebuild
deletes all generated files in the project and reruns build.npm run build.watch
watches filesystem for changes and incrementally compiles Typescript on change.npm run test
runs the test suite.npm run test.watch
runs the test suite on each change to Typescript files.npm run format
formats code with prettier.npm run lint
verifies code style with prettier and ES lint.npm run commitlint
validates commit messages.
Create a .cargo/config.toml
file and override the path to sdk-core and/or sdk-core-protos as
described here
In order to run integration tests:
- Run the temporal server using docker-compose.
- Export
RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true
To replicate the test-npm-init
CI test locally, you can start with the below steps:
If you've run
npx @temporalio/create
before, you may need to delete the version of the package that's stored in~/.npm/_npx/
.
rm -rf /tmp/registry
npm ci
npm run rebuild
node scripts/publish-to-verdaccio.js --registry-dir /tmp/registry
node scripts/init-from-verdaccio.js --registry-dir /tmp/registry --sample hello-world
cd /tmp/registry/example
npm run build
node ~/path-to/sdk-typescript/scripts/test-example.js --work-dir /tmp/registry/example
- Typescript code is linted with eslint
- Files in this repo are formatted with prettier
- Pull request titles SHOULD adhere to the Conventional Commits specification, for example:
<type>(optional scope): <description>
chore(samples): upgrade commander module
The scope
options are listed in commitlint.config.js.
First, follow the instructions in docs/building.md.
cargo install git-cliff
# git-cliff --tag <new version> <current version>..HEAD | pbcopy
git-cliff --tag 1.0.1 v1.0.0..HEAD | pbcopy
- Paste into CHANGELOG.md
- Clean up formatting
- Add any important missing details
- Replace PR numbers with links:
#(\d{3})
[#$1](https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-typescript/pull/$1)
- If PRs came from external contributors, thank them & link their github handles:
([#484](link), thanks to [
@user](https://github.com/user) 🙏)
- Open PR with CHANGELOG change
- If using a custom features branch for PR integration tests, make
sure the branch is fully up-to-date with
features
main
before merging the CHANGELOG PR - Merge PR
- Checkout latest
main
We're working on automating the rest of the process:
- Log in to npm as
temporal-sdk-team
(npm whoami
andnpm login
) - Download the 5
packages-*
artifacts from the PR's GitHub Action - Publish:
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
git clean -fdx
npm ci
npm run build
mkdir -p packages/core-bridge/releases
# in the next command, replace ~/gh/release-sdk-typescript with your dir
for f in ~/Downloads/packages-*.zip; do mkdir "$HOME/Downloads/$(basename -s .zip $f)"; (cd "$HOME/Downloads/$(basename -s .zip $f)" && unzip $f && tar -xvzf @temporalio/core-bridge/core-bridge-*.tgz package/releases/ && cp -r package/releases/* ~/gh/release-sdk-typescript/packages/core-bridge/releases/); done
# we should now have all 5 build targets
ls packages/core-bridge/releases/
npx lerna version patch --force-publish='*' # or major|minor|etc, or leave out to be prompted. either way, you get a confirmation dialog.
git checkout -B fix-deps
node scripts/prepublish.mjs
git commit -am 'Fix dependencies'
npx lerna publish from-package # add `--dist-tag next` for pre-release versions
git checkout -
Finally:
npm deprecate temporalio@^1.0.0 "Instead of installing temporalio, we recommend directly installing our packages: npm remove temporalio; npm install @temporalio/client @temporalio/worker @temporalio/workflow @temporalio/activity"
-
Cleanup after publishing:
rm -rf $HOME/Downloads/packages-* rm -rf packages/core-bridge/releases/*
-
If using a custom features branch for PR integration tests, merge that branch into features
main
and update the SDK workflow definition to triggerfeatures
main
-
If any APIs have changed, open a PR to update
samples-typescript
. Once merged, update thenext
branch:git checkout next git rebase origin/main git push
-
While our tests should capture most things, if you want to verify the release works in the samples, do:
cd /path/to/samples-typescript lerna exec -- npm update npm run build npm test
npm
commands we may need to use:
If we publish a version like 1.1.0-rc.1
with tag next
, we untag it after 1.1.0
is released:
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/client next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/worker next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/workflow next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/activity next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/testing next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/common next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/proto next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/interceptors-opentelemetry next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/common/lib/internal-workflow next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/common/lib/internal-non-workflow next
npm dist-tag rm @temporalio/create next
npm dist-tag rm temporalio next
