@temporalio/client 1.4.0

on Node.js NPM

Features

• 💥 Make client gRPC retry more configurable (#879)

  BREAKING CHANGE: GrpcRetryOptions.retryableDecider now gets the attempt number as the first argument. This is an advanced/rare option, and the change should be caught at compile time.

  Also adds BackoffOptions and defaultGrpcRetryOptions.

  NOTE: This feature is experimental and its API may change.

• [client] Delete search attributes with empty array values in describe() response (#878)

  ⚠️ This fixes a bug where empty/deleted Custom Search Attributes were returned as [] from workflowHandle.describe(). Such attribute properties will no longer be present in the WorkflowExecutionDescription.searchAttributes object. Note that this behavior is consistent with what you'll see if using a pre-1.4 version of the SDK with Server version 1.18.

• Add support for custom failure converters (#887)

  Adds DataConverter.failureConverterPath and FailureConverter, which converts from proto Failure instances to JS Errors and back.

  We recommended going with the default (i.e. not using the failureConverterPath option) in order to maintain cross-language Failure serialization compatibility.

  NOTE: This feature is experimental and its API may change.

• [workflow] Add workflowInfo().unsafe.now() (#882)

  It returns the current system time in milliseconds. The safe version of time is new Date() and Date.now(), which are set on the first invocation of a Workflow Task and stay constant for the duration of the Task and during replay.

• Upgrade core, add support for OTEL metric temporality (#891)

  • Upgraded otel and other deps (temporalio/sdk-core#402)
  • Fix incorrect string names for polling methods (temporalio/sdk-core#401)

Miscellaneous Tasks

• Remove internal-* packages (#881)

  ⚠️ Any imports from @temporalio/internal-* need to be updated. As noted in their named and READMEs, they're not meant to be used to directly, so we don't imagine this is a common case. However, if you do find instances, they should be changed to importing from:

  @temporalio/internal-non-workflow-common ➡️ @temporalio/common/lib/internal-non-workflow
  @temporalio/internal-workflow-common ➡️ @temporalio/common
  

• [common] Deprecate internal functions that should have never been exported (#893)

  Some time-related and binary conversion internal helper functions were exported from @temporalio/common. They are now deprecated and hidden from the API reference, as they're meant for internal use only.

• [workflow] Export LoggerSinks from @temporalio/workflow (#889)

• [client] Add max retry interval for client (#883)

• Label grpc-retry API as experimental (#891)

• Make the failure-converter code symmetric (#891)

Bug Fixes

• Fix double import of long in generated proto TS files (#891)
• Fix bundler with default workflow interceptors (#891)
• Limit eager activity requests to 3 (#891)
