The format is based on Keep a Changelog.
Unreleased
Nothing notable unreleased.
1.3.0 (2022-10-11)
Added
- (flags) Added a new
absl.flags.set_defaultfunction that updates the flag default for a providedFlagHolder. This parallels theabsl.flags.FlagValues.set_defaultinterface which takes a flag name. - (flags) The following functions now also accept
FlagHolderinstance(s) in addition to flag name(s) as their first positional argument:flags.register_validatorflags.validatorflags.register_multi_flags_validatorflags.multi_flags_validatorflags.mark_flag_as_requiredflags.mark_flags_as_requiredflags.mark_flags_as_mutual_exclusiveflags.mark_bool_flags_as_mutual_exclusiveflags.declare_key_flag
Changed
- (testing) Assertions
assertRaisesWithPredicateMatchandassertRaisesWithLiteralMatchnow capture the raisedExceptionfor further analysis when used as a context manager. - (testing) TextAndXMLTestRunner now produces time duration values with millisecond precision in XML test result output.
- (flags) Keyword access to
flag_namearguments in the following functions is deprecated. This parameter will be renamed in a future 2.0.0 release.flags.register_validatorflags.validatorflags.register_multi_flags_validatorflags.multi_flags_validatorflags.mark_flag_as_requiredflags.mark_flags_as_requiredflags.mark_flags_as_mutual_exclusiveflags.mark_bool_flags_as_mutual_exclusiveflags.declare_key_flag
1.2.0 (2022-07-18)
Fixed
- Fixed a crash in Python 3.11 when
TempFileCleanup.SUCCESSis used.
1.1.0 (2022-06-01)
Flaginstances now raise an error if used in a bool context. This prevents the occasional mistake of testing an instance for truthiness rather than testingflag.value.absl-pyno longer depends onsix.
1.0.0 (2021-11-09)
Changed
absl-pyno longer supports Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5. All versions have reached end-of-life for more than a year now.- New releases will be tagged as
vX.Y.Zinstead ofpypi-vX.Y.Zin the git repo going forward.
0.15.0 (2021-10-19)
Changed
- (testing) #128: When running bazel with its
--test_filter=flag, it now treats the filters asunittest's-kflag in Python 3.7+.
0.14.1 (2021-09-30)
Fixed
- Top-level
LICENSEfile is now exported in bazel.
0.14.0 (2021-09-21)
Fixed
- #171: Creating
argparse_flags.ArgumentParserwithargument_default=no longer raises an exception when otherabsl.flagsflags are defined. - #173:
absltestnow correctly sets up test filtering and fail fast flags when an explicitargv=parameter is passed toabsltest.main.
0.13.0 (2021-06-14)
Added
- (app) Type annotations for public
appinterfaces. - (testing) Added new decorator
@absltest.skipThisClassto indicate a class contains shared functionality to be used as a base class for other TestCases, and therefore should be skipped.
Changed
- (app) Annotated the
flag_parserparamteter ofrunas keyword-only. This keyword-only constraint will be enforced at runtime in a future release. - (app, flags) Flag validations now include all errors from disjoint flag sets, instead of fail fast upon first error from all validators. Multiple validators on the same flag still fails fast.
0.12.0 (2021-03-08)
Added
- (flags) Made
EnumClassSerializerandEnumClassListSerializerpublic. - (flags) Added a
required: Optional[bool] = Falseparameter toDEFINE_*functions. - (testing) flagsaver overrides can now be specified in terms of FlagHolder.
- (testing)
parameterized.product: Allows testing a method over cartesian product of parameters values, specified as a sequences of values for each parameter or as kwargs-like dicts of parameter values. - (testing) Added public flag holders for
--test_srcdirand--test_tmpdir. Users should useabsltest.TEST_SRCDIR.valueandabsltest.TEST_TMPDIR.valueinstead ofFLAGS.test_srcdirandFLAGS.test_tmpdir.
Fixed
- (flags) Made
CsvListSerializerrespect its delimiter argument.
0.11.0 (2020-10-27)
Changed
- (testing) Surplus entries in AssertionError stack traces from absltest are now suppressed and no longer reported in the xml_reporter.
- (logging) An exception is now raised instead of
logging.fatalwhen logging directories cannot be found. - (testing) Multiple flags are now set together before their validators run. This resolves an issue where multi-flag validators rely on specific flag combinations.
- (flags) As a deterrent for misuse, FlagHolder objects will now raise a TypeError exception when used in a conditional statement or equality expression.
0.10.0 (2020-08-19)
Added
- (testing)
_TempDirand_TempFilenow implement__fspath__to satisfyos.PathLike - (logging)
--logger_levels: allows specifying the log levels of loggers. - (flags)
FLAGS.validate_all_flags: a new method that validates all flags and raises an exception if one fails. - (flags)
FLAGS.get_flags_for_module: Allows fetching the flags a module defines. - (testing)
parameterized.TestCase: Supports async test definitions. - (testing,app) Added
--pdbflag: When true, uncaught exceptions will be handled bypdb.post_mortem. This is an alias for--pdb_post_mortem.
Changed
- (testing) Failed tests output a copy/pastable test id to make it easier to copy the failing test to the command line.
- (testing)
@parameterized.parametersnow treats a singleabc.Mappingas a single test case, consistent withnamed_parameters. Previously theabc.Mappingis treated as if only its keys are passed as a list of test cases. If you were relying on the old inconsistent behavior, explicitly convert theabc.Mappingto alist. - (flags)
DEFINE_enum_classandDEFINE_mutlti_enum_classaccept acase_sensitiveargument. WhenFalse(the default), strings are mapped to enum member names without case sensitivity, and member names are serialized in lowercase form. Flag definitions for enums whose members include duplicates when case is ignored must now explicitly passcase_sensitive=True.
Fixed
- (flags) Defining an alias no longer marks the aliased flag as always present on the command line.
- (flags) Aliasing a multi flag no longer causes the default value to be appended to.
- (flags) Alias default values now matched the aliased default value.
- (flags) Alias
presentcounter now correctly reflects command line usage.
0.9.0 (2019-12-17)
Added
- (testing)
TestCase.enter_context: Allows using context managers in setUp and having them automatically exited when a test finishes.
Fixed
- #126: calling
logging.debug(msg, stack_info=...)no longer throws an exception in Python 3.8.
0.8.1 (2019-10-08)
Fixed
- (testing)
absl.testing's pretty print reporter no longer buffers RUN/OK/FAILED messages. - (testing)
create_tempfilewill overwrite pre-existing read-only files.
0.8.0 (2019-08-26)
Added
- (testing)
absltest.expectedFailureIf: a variant ofunittest.expectedFailurethat allows a condition to be given.
Changed
- (bazel) Tests now pass when bazel
--incompatible_allow_python_version_transitions=trueis set. - (bazel) Both Python 2 and Python 3 versions of tests are now created. To
only run one major Python version, use
bazel test --test_tag_filters=-python[23]to ignore the other version. - (testing)
assertTotallyOrderedno longer requires objects to implement__hash__. - (testing)
absltestnow integrates better with--pdb_post_mortem. - (testing)
xml_reporternow includes timestamps to testcases, test_suite, test_suites elements.
Fixed
- #99:
absl.loggingno longer registers itself tologging.rootat import time. - #108: Tests now pass with Bazel 0.28.0 on macOS.
0.7.1 (2019-03-12)
Added
- (flags)
flags.mark_bool_flags_as_mutual_exclusive: convenience function to check that only one, or at most one, flag among a set of boolean flags are True.
Changed
- (bazel) Bazel 0.23+ or 0.22+ is now required for building/testing.
Specifically, a Bazel version that supports
@bazel_tools//tools/python:python_versionfor selecting the Python version.
Fixed
- #94: LICENSE files are now included in sdist.
- #93: Change log added.
0.7.0 (2019-01-11)
Added
- (bazel) testonly=1 has been removed from the testing libraries, which allows their use outside of testing contexts.
- (flags) Multi-flags now accept any Iterable type for the default value instead of only lists. Strings are still special cased as before. This allows sets, generators, views, etc to be used naturally.
- (flags) DEFINE_multi_enum_class: a multi flag variant of enum_class.
- (testing) Most of absltest is now type-annotated.
- (testing) Made AbslTest.assertRegex available under Python 2. This allows Python 2 code to write more natural Python 3 compatible code. (Note: this was actually released in 0.6.1, but unannounced)
- (logging) logging.vlog_is_on: helper to tell if a vlog() call will actually log anything. This allows avoiding computing expansive inputs to a logging call when logging isn't enabled for that level.
Fixed
- (flags) Pickling flags now raises an clear error instead of a cryptic one. Pickling flags isn't supported; instead use flags_into_string to serialize flags.
- (flags) Flags serialization works better: the resulting serialized value, when deserialized, won't cause --help to be invoked, thus ending the process.
- (flags) Several flag fixes to make them behave more like the Absl C++ flags: empty --flagfile is allowed; --nohelp and --help=false don't display help
- (flags) An empty --flagfile value (e.g. "--flagfile=" or "--flagfile=''" doesn't raise an error; its not just ignored. This matches Abseil C++ behavior.
- (bazel) Building with Bazel 0.2.0 works without extra incompatibility disable build flags.
Changed
- (flags) Flag serialization is now deterministic: this improves Bazel build caching for tools that are affected by flag serialization.
0.6.0 (2018-10-22)
Added
- Tempfile management APIs for tests: read/write/manage tempfiles for test purposes easily and correctly. See TestCase.create_temp{file/dir} and the corresponding commit for more info.
0.5.0 (2018-09-17)
Added
- Flags enum support: flags.DEFINE_enum_class allows using an
Enumderived class to define the allowed values for a flag.
0.4.1 (2018-08-28)
Fixed
- Flags no long allow spaces in their names
Changed
- XML test output is written at the end of all test execution.
- If the current user's username can't be gotten, fallback to uid, else fall back to a generic 'unknown' string.
0.4.0 (2018-08-14)
Added
- argparse integration: absl-registered flags can now be accessed via argparse using absl.flags.argparse_flags: see that module for more information.
- TestCase.assertSameStructure now allows mixed set types.
Changed
- Test output now includes start/end markers for each test ran. This is to help distinguish output from tests clearly.
0.3.0 (2018-07-25)
Added
app.call_after_init: Register functions to be called after app.run() is called. Useful for program-wide initialization that library code may need.logging.log_every_n_seconds: like log_every_n, but based on elapsed time between logging calls.absltest.mock: alias to unittest.mock (PY3) for better unittest drop-in replacement. For PY2, it will be available if mock is importable.
Fixed
ABSLLogger.findCaller(): allow stack_info arg and return value for PY2- Make stopTest locking reentrant: this prevents deadlocks for test frameworks that customize unittest.TextTestResult.stopTest.
- Make --helpfull work with unicode flag help strings.
