v3.14.0

Bugfixes

• A debug display of server timing info was always enabled when it should have been disabled by default. This produced extraneous output to stderr for some commands.

• Fix bug causing globus rm to fail when using the --dry-run option.

Enhancements

• Add globus flows create as a new command for creating flows.

• JSON file parsing throughout the CLI has been made more uniform and robust. Commands which required files to be specified with the file: prefix now allow for filenames without the prefix, improving tab-completion. All commands which accept JSON data as inputs now allow for files or JSON-formatted arguments.

• Add the --local-user option to the globus ls, globus rename, globus mkdir, globus delete, and globus rm commands.

• Add the --source-local-user and --destination-local-user options to the globus transfer command.

• Error reporting for parsing errors during --batch processing has been improved to better indicate the source of the error

v3.13.0

Enhancements

• Add --include option to globus transfer allowing ordered overrides of --exclude rules.

Breaking Changes

• The --exclude option for globus transfer now only applies to files to better support excluding files within a directory structure

v3.12.0

Bugfixes

• Fix the handling of multiple -Q parameters with the same name for the globus api commands. Such usages were only sending the last value used, but now correctly send all parameters.

• Certain combinations of options for globus task list could, generate invalid or useless filters. These behaviors are fixed.

• Strip single quotes from scope strings passed to globus session consent, fixing the behavior of this command when run from Windows Command Prompt

Enhancements

• Add globus timer create transfer as a new command for creating new timers

  • The command prompts for login if data_access consents are detected as a requirement

• globus session consent now supports a --timer-data-access flag, specifically to help support timer creation

• The CLI now has stronger requirements around the scope used for the Timer service, and will treat past Timer tokens as invalid. Users running globus timer commands will find that they must login agian.

• Add globus timer delete as a command for deleting timers

• When showing login requirements for known Globus services, the error message instructing users to run globus login will use recognizable nice names for those services, e.g. Globus Timers

Other

• The CLI's handling of changes to its scope requirements over time has been improved. After CLI updates which change the required scopes, users will be prompted to login again, ensuring that the most up-to-date set of scopes are in use.

  • Changes to the CLI which adjust scopes, and therefore force this re-login behavior, will note this in the changelog.

  • This change, in itself, will not force re-login for any users.

• globus-cli now uses packaging for version parsing. This improves compatibility with python 3.12

v3.11.0

Enhancements

• Add --policy option to globus session update which takes a comma delimited list of Globus Auth policy IDs and starts an auth flow to meet the policies.

• Whenever an error is hit due to not meeting a Globus Auth policy, helptext is displayed with a globus session update command to resolve the error.

• Support --user-message and --user-message-link for globus endpoint update and globus gcp create mapped

Other

• Improve the uniformity of endpoint and collection option parsing.
  • The --sharing-restrict-paths option to globus collection update now checks for invalid types (non-dict, non-null data)
  • globus endpoint update now treats the empty string as null for the following options: --contact-email, --contact-info, --default-directory, --department, --description, --info-link, and --organization. This behavior matches globus collection update. --no-default-directory is still supported, but is equivalent to --default-directory ""
  • globus gcp create guest and globus gcp create mapped now accept --verify [force|disable|default] for verification options. This replaces --disable-verify/--no-disable-verify, which is now deprecated

v3.10.1

Bugfixes

• Fix a typo in the globus endpoint permission update command

• Fixed an AttributeError preventing text output of globus session show

v3.10.0

Bugfixes

• Fix a bug which caused globus list-commands not to show proper information

Enhancements

• Add the globus api flows command for direct interactions with the Globus
  Flows service

• Added commands for interacting with GCSv5 user credentials

  • globus endpoint user-credential list

  • globus endpoint user-credential show

  • globus endpoint user-credential delete

  • globus endpoint user-credential create

    • globus endpoint user-credential create from-json
    • globus endpoint user-credential create posix
    • globus endpoint user-credential create s3

• Added globus endpoint storage-gateway list

• Add globus flows delete to delete a flow by ID

• Add a new command, globus flows show which displays information about a
  single flow

• Add globus flows start as a new command for starting a flow.

• Add globus login --flow <flow_id> to trigger a login that asks for consent to start a flow.

• globus ls has improved behavior when the --filter and --recursive options
  are used in combination

  • directory names are not matched against the filter, allowing the operation to
    traverse directories regardless of their names

  • the --filter is still applied to filenames in all directories traversed by
    the ls operation

  • directory names can be filtered out of the text output by eliminating
    lines which end in /

  • the behaviors of globus ls commands with --recursive or --filter, but not
    both, are unchanged

Other

• globus endpoint create is now hidden and displays a deprecation warning
  when used

• Support Python 3.11.

• Endpointish now uses entity_type for determining EntityType

v3.9.0

Bugfixes:

• Fix a bug in text output for globus transfer --dry-run which crashed with a KeyError if --external-checksum was omitted

Enhancements

• A new command, globus flows list, allows users to list Flow objects in Globus Flows

• New commands for creating Globus Connect Personal endpoints and collections
  ** globus gcp create mapped creates a GCP Mapped Collection
  ** globus gcp create guest creates a GCP Guest Collection

In GCP, the Mapped Collection and Endpoint are synonymous. Therefore, globus gcp create mapped replaces the functionality previously only available via globus endpoint create --personal.

NOTE: Neither of the globus gcp create commands automatically installs Globus Connect Personal on the local machine. These commands complement and interact with an existing installation.

Other

• globus endpoint create is now documented as deprecated. Users are encouraged to use globus gcp create for Globus Connect Personal, and the Globus Connect Server CLI for Globus Connect Server

• globus endpoint create no longer accepts --no-default-directory as an option. It previously did nothing when used.

v3.8.0

Enhancements

• The globus CLI is now faster to start in many cases. Tab completions are most significantly improved, but other commands may demonstrate an improvement as well

• Add the globus api timer command for direct interactions with the Globus Timer service

• Order globus task list by descending request time to prioritise newer tasks in default output

v3.7.0

Bugfixes

• Fix globus session update help text not handling missing domain errors from Transfer

Enhancements

• globus group member invite now supports provisioning new identities in Globus Auth in order to support inviting new users who have not created Globus accounts. Use --provision-identity to indicate that new users should be auto-provisioned in Globus Auth

• Add new globus timer commands for interacting with the Timer service:
  ** globus timer list to list jobs
  ** globus timer show to show a particular job

• Add globus search index delete command

v3.6.0

Enhancements:

• Commands which have required arguments will print their helptext if invoked with no arguments. They still exit(2) (usage error). This only applies to the case of a command with required arguments being called with no arguments at all.

Bugfixes:

• Fix behavior of globus api to respect formatting options. --jmespath can be used on results, and -Fjson will pretty-print JSON responses if the original response body is compact JSON

Other:

• Increase the maximum width of help output to 80% of the terminal size.
• Remove support for python3.6 . Users on python3.6 should still be able to install globus-cli but will not be able to update to the latest version.
