Garden 0.12.10 is out!
Along with several new features, this release includes an experimental, opt-in build staging implementation that can dramatically speed up builds for large projects.
Many thanks to everyone who's been providing feedback and suggestions!
Faster Build Staging
For projects with a large number of files, the build staging step can take a lot of time and consume a lot of resources.
To address this, we're introducing a new build staging implementation that can speed things up dramatically.
Since the implementation is nontrivial, the old, rsync-based build sync implementation is still the default. To use the new, faster sync implementation, set GARDEN_EXPERIMENTAL_BUILD_STAGE=true in your environment.
We encourage you to try it out, and to let us know in case you run into any bugs or unexpected behavior.
Once the new implementation has been battle-tested for a while, we plan to make it the default.
when Modifier for Workflows
The new when modifier for workflow steps adds some welcome flexibility to Garden workflows.
For example, using the when modifier, you can run steps only when a step fails, or always run the step (regardless of whether a previous step has failed).
See the updated workflows guide for more details.
Git Branch in Template Strings
The current Git branch can now be used in template strings: ${git.branch}
This can be useful e.g. when running Garden in CI.
Note that the branch is read at the start of a Garden command, and (currently) isn't updated if the branch changes during the command's execution (e.g. when running commands in watch mode).
Support for Terraform Workspaces
You can now set the workspace field on the Terraform provider as well as on terraform modules.
When set, Garden will select (creating if necessary) the specified Terraform workspace ahead of applying, planning, destroying etc.
