@temporalio/worker 1.3.0

on Node.js NPM

Bug Fixes

• 💥 Various bug fixes (#873)

  BREAKING CHANGE: Makes WorkflowExecutionDescription.historyLength a number. This was a Long before, but shouldn't
  have been. If you're currently calling:

  (await workflowHandle.describe()).historyLength.toNumber();

  then remove the .toNumber() call.

  This PR also included:

  • Make protobufjs a dev dependency of @temporalio/client
  • Use simple version of Core's cancelChildWorkflowExecution command

• 💥 Update Core from e261 to b437 (#865 and #873)

  BREAKING CHANGE: This fixes a bug where values (memo, search attributes, and retry policy) were not being passed on to
  the next Run during Continue-As-New. Now they are, unless you specify different values when calling
  continueAsNew
  (temporalio/sdk-core#376). [We believe this is unlikely to break
  users code—the code would have to be depending on the absence of these values in Continued-As-New Runs.]

  This update also have various fixes and features:

  • Don't dispatch eager activity if task queue is not the "current" (temporalio/sdk-core#397)
  • Fix cancelling of started-but-lang-doesn't-know workflows (temporalio/sdk-core#379)
  • Protect worker from more network errors (temporalio/sdk-core#396)
  • Use tokio-rustls for request (temporalio/sdk-core#395)
  • Fix for ephemeral test server zombie (temporalio/sdk-core#392)
  • Ephemeral server lazy-downloader and runner (temporalio/sdk-core#389)
  • Fix health service getter (temporalio/sdk-core#387)
  • Expose HealthService (temporalio/sdk-core#386)
  • Add more missing workflow options and add request_id as parameter for some calls (temporalio/sdk-core#365)
  • Correct API definition link (temporalio/sdk-core#381)
  • Add grpc health checking service/fns to client (temporalio/sdk-core#377)
  • Respect per-call gRPC headers (temporalio/sdk-core#375)
  • More client refactoring & add versioning-opt-in config flag (temporalio/sdk-core#374)
  • Publicly expose the new client traits (temporalio/sdk-core#371)
  • Add Test Server client & update deps (temporalio/sdk-core#370)
  • Added test confirming act. w/o heartbeats times out (temporalio/sdk-core#369)
  • Add Operator API machinery to client (temporalio/sdk-core#366)

• [client] Only require signalArgs in signalWithStart when needed (#847)

Features

• 💥 Improvements to @temporalio/testing (#865 and #873)

  BREAKING CHANGE: Breaking for the testing package in some of the more advanced and rarely used options:

  • No longer accepting runInNormalTime when waiting for workflow result
  • TestWorkflowEnvironmentOptions is completely redone

  [Given that these were rarely used and the testing package isn't meant for production use, we don't think this change warrants a major version bump.]

  TestWorkflowEnvironment.create is deprecated in favor of:

  • TestWorkflowEnvironment.createTimeSkipping
  • TestWorkflowEnvironment.createLocal

  Added TestWorkflowEnvironment.currentTimeMs.

• Various minor features (#865)

  • Add Connection.healthService and generate testservice and health in proto package
  • Updated ci to use sdk-ci namespace for testing with cloud.
  • Use ephemeral server from Core (supports both time skipping and temporalite)
  • Test server is now only downloaded on first use
  • Removed some unused dependencies
  • Refactored core bridge into multiple files
  • Closes #834
  • Closes #844

• [client] Add a high-level meta Client class (#870)

  We now recommend using this instead of our other clients:

  import { Client } from '@temporalio/client';
  
  const client = new Client(options);
  
  await client.workflow.start();
  await client.activity.heartbeat();
  await client.activity.complete();

  • client.workflow is a WorkflowClient.
  • client.activity is an AsyncCompletionClient.
  • We will be adding client.schedule.* (see the ScheduleClient proposal).

• Add ActivityOptions.allowEagerDispatch (default true) (#873)

• [testing] Use temporal.download for downloading test server (#864)

• Add Webpack rule to auto instrument Workflows for code coverage, add augmentWorkerOptions() (#858, thanks to @vkarpov15 🙏)

Documentation

• Improve API reference (#871)
• Publish unchanged packages (#862)
• Update nyc-test-coverage README (#866)

Miscellaneous Tasks

• In-process verdaccio server (#861, thanks to @mjameswh 🙏)
