3.50.0

3.50.0 (2022-01-06)

Changes

• Robot keywords have been updated to support the Spring 22' release. (#3021)
• Using channel declarations in load.yml, users can now do synthetic data loads across multiple user accounts at once. This is faster for some very large orgs. (#3016)

Issues Closed

• Added a missing image to the "Windows Install Steps" portion of the docs. (#3013)
• Fixed a bug that prevented Get webelements from returning an empty list if the locator was a custom locator created via the register_locators function of cumulusci.robotframework.locator_manager. (#3004)
• Fixed a bug that prevented the locator SF:object.button:Assign Reviewers from working properly. (#3002)
• Fixed an issue where the --json flag was not outputting properly formatted JSON with the cci task list command. (#3011)

3.49.0

Critical Changes

• Python versions 3.6 and 3.7 are no longer supported. Please ensure you have Python version 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10. (#2959)
• The dx_convert_from task now uses a custom Python task class instead of cumulusci.tasks.sfdx.SFDXBaseTask. In most cases this will have no visible impact, but if you have customized this task config to change the command option, make sure you have also explicitly set its class_path to cumulusci.tasks.sfdx.SFDXBaseTask. (#2981)

Changes

• You can now get the CumulusCI version with cci --version. The output is the same as the cci version command. (#2974)
• A new feature has been added to the robot_libdoc task. You can now use --f csv to generate a CSV file with all of the keywords. (#2985)
• New keywords Select Rows and Unselect Rows have been added to the robot Listing page object (#2995)
• Queries passed to the SOQL Query keyword can now span multiple lines. (#3006)

Issues Closed

• Fixed an issue where deleted components could still deploy into persistent orgs. (#2981)

3.48.2

• Fixed a regression which broke cci project init in CumulusCI 3.48.0 and 3.48.1. (#2986)

3.48.1

Issues Closed

• Fixed a packaging issue which caused an error when installing on systems without a C compiler.

3.48.0

Critical Changes

• CumulusCI will be dropping support for Python 3.6 and 3.7 within the next few releases. Please ensure you're running Python 3.8 or above.

Changes

• We added a new command, cci plan info. Similar to cci task info, this command displays detailed information about a MetaDeploy plan, and includes a --messages option to display user-facing text. (#2946)
• Improved logging to show reduced timestamps, and provide some syntax highlighting of output. (#2941)
• Snowfakery 2.2 is now included with CumulusCI. New features include unique IDs and Numeric Counters. (#2962)

3.47.0

Changes

• Added a cci plan list command for displaying a list of metadeploy plans (#2940)
• Task options can now be marked as "sensitive". These task options that will be obfuscated when displayed at the beginning of each task in a flow. (#2939)
• Improved error message when uninstall_packaged_incremental is run in an sfdx-format project without converting to Metadata API format first (#2929)
• Improved error messaging for multiple scenarios where tasks are improperly configured in cumulusci.yml. (#2923)
• We added a new task create_blank_profile that can be used to create a new profile from scratch without any permissions enabled. (This new task requires a Winter 22 Org or API 53.0) (#2908)
• We've added a user friendly error message when installing a package using security_type "PUSH" with a 04t Package Version ID. (#2935)

3.46.0

Critical Changes

• Backwards incompatibility: the robot task option debug has been renamed to robot_debug. (#2909)

Changes

• CumulusCI now has a schema published here. This is primarily intended to be use for enabling linting in VS Code, but could be used for any schema-aware editor or any validation purpose. (#2902)
• We added a new task create_blank_profile that can be used to create a new profile from scratch without any permissions enabled. (#2908)
• Manually creating a Personal Access Token and pasting it into the CLI is no longer required to connect a GitHub service. Instead, CumulusCI now supports GitHub's device authentication flow, allowing you to authenticate via browser using a temporary device code. (#2911)
• cci service info for a github service now displays expiration dates for GitHub personal access tokens, if set. (#2912)
• Improved error messaging for multiple scenarios where tasks are improperly configured in cumulusci.yml. (#2923)

Issues Fixed

• Fixed a bug where connecting a GitHub service with cci service connect was failing silently. (#2888)
• Fixed an issue where MetaDeploy steps using the old filename_token and namespace_token options could not be used. (#2914)

3.44.1

Issues Fixed

• We fixed a regression that resulted in upload failures for 2GP packages that extend 1GP packages (closes #2880).

3.44.0

Changes

• CumulusCI uses package version Ids from 1GP releases wherever available, reducing the need to install 1GP packages in an org to build 2GP dependencies. (#2832)
• We added metadata_package_id and version_id options to allow passing MetadataPackage (prefix 033) and MetadataPackageVersion (prefix 04t) IDs to the push upgrade tasks. (#2837)
• cci flow info will now output all flow options defined. (#2845)
