Changelog#

1.6.9 (core) / 0.22.8 (libraries)#

New#

  • [ui] When viewing logs for a run, the date for a single log row is now shown in the tooltip on the timestamp. This helps when viewing a run that takes place over more than one date.
  • Added suggestions to the error message when selecting asset keys that do not exist as an upstream asset or in an AssetSelection.
  • Improved error messages when trying to materialize a subset of a multi-asset which cannot be subset.
  • [dagster-snowflake] dagster-snowflake now requires snowflake-connector-python>=3.4.0
  • [embedded-elt] @sling_assets accepts an optional name parameter for the underlying op
  • [dagster-openai] dagster-openai library is now available.
  • [dagster-dbt] Added a new setting on DagsterDbtTranslatorSettings called enable_duplicate_source_asset_keys that allows users to set duplicate asset keys for their dbt sources. Thanks @hello-world-bfree!
  • Log messages in the Dagster daemon for unloadable sensors and schedules have been removed.
  • [ui] Search now uses a cache that persists across pageloads which should greatly improve search performance for very large orgs.
  • [ui] groups/code locations in the asset graph’s sidebar are now sorted alphabetically.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed issue where the input/output schemas of configurable IOManagers could be ignored when providing explicit input / output run config.
  • Fixed an issue where enum values could not properly have a default value set in a ConfigurableResource.
  • Fixed an issue where graph-backed assets would sometimes lose user-provided descriptions due to a bug in internal copying.
  • [auto-materialize] Fixed an issue introduced in 1.6.7 where updates to ExternalAssets would be ignored when using AutoMaterializePolicies which depended on parent updates.
  • [asset checks] Fixed a bug with asset checks in step launchers.
  • [embedded-elt] Fix a bug when creating a SlingConnectionResource where a blank keyword argument would be emitted as an environment variable
  • [dagster-dbt] Fixed a bug where emitting events from dbt source freshness would cause an error.
  • [ui] Fixed a bug where using the “Terminate all runs” button with filters selected would not apply the filters to the action.
  • [ui] Fixed an issue where typing a search query into the search box before the search data was fetched would yield “No results” even after the data was fetched.

Community Contributions#

  • [docs] fixed typo in embedded-elt.mdx (thanks @cameronmartin)!
  • [dagster-databricks] log the url for the run of a databricks job (thanks @smats0n)!
  • Fix missing partition property (thanks christeefy)!

Experimental#

  • [asset checks] UI performance of asset checks related pages has been improved.
  • [dagster-dbt] The class DbtArtifacts has been added for managing the behavior of rebuilding the manifest during development but expecting a pre-built one in production.

Documentation#

  • Added example of writing compute logs to AWS S3 when customizing agent configuration.
  • "Hello, Dagster" is now "Dagster Quickstart" with the option to use a Github Codespace to explore Dagster.
  • Improved guides and reference to better running multiple isolated agents with separate queues on ECS.

Dagster Cloud#

  • Microsoft Teams is now supported for alerts. Documentation
  • A send sample alert button now exists on both the alert policies page and in the alert policies editor to make it easier to debug and configure alerts without having to wait for an event to kick them off.

1.6.8 (core) / 0.22.8 (libraries)#

Bugfixes#

  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Fixed a bug in the SlingConnectionResource that raised an error when connecting to a database.

Experimental#

  • [asset checks] graph_multi_assets with check_specs now support subsetting.

1.6.7 (core) / 0.22.7 (libraries)#

New#

  • Added a new run_retries.retry_on_op_or_asset_failures setting that can be set to false to make run retries only occur when there is an unexpected failure that crashes the run, allowing run-level retries to co-exist more naturally with op or asset retries. See the docs for more information.
  • dagster dev now sets the environment variable DAGSTER_IS_DEV_CLI allowing subprocesses to know that they were launched in a development context.
  • [ui] The Asset Checks page has been updated to show more information on the page itself rather than in a dialog.

Bugfixes#

  • [ui] Fixed an issue where the UI disallowed creating a dynamic partition if its name contained the “|” pipe character.
  • AssetSpec previously dropped the metadata and code_version fields, resulting in them not being attached to the corresponding asset. This has been fixed.

Experimental#

  • The new @multi_observable_source_asset decorator enables defining a set of assets that can be observed together with the same function.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] New Asset Decorator @sling_assets and Resource SlingConnectionResource have been added for the [dagster-embedded-elt.sling](http://dagster-embedded-elt.sling) package. Deprecated build_sling_asset, SlingSourceConnection and SlingTargetConnection.
  • Added support for op-concurrency aware run dequeuing for the QueuedRunCoordinator.

Documentation#

  • Fixed reference documentation for isolated agents in ECS.
  • Corrected an example in the Airbyte Cloud documentation.
  • Added API links to OSS Helm deployment guide.
  • Fixed in-line pragmas showing up in the documentation.

Dagster Cloud#

  • Alerts now support Microsoft Teams.
  • [ECS] Fixed an issue where code locations could be left undeleted.
  • [ECS] ECS agents now support setting multiple replicas per code server.
  • [Insights] You can now toggle the visibility of a row in the chart by clicking on the dot for the row in the table.
  • [Users] Added a new column “Licensed role” that shows the user's most permissive role.

1.6.6 (core) / 0.22.6 (libraries)#

New#

  • Dagster officially supports Python 3.12.
  • dagster-polars has been added as an integration. Thanks @danielgafni!
  • [dagster-dbt] @dbt_assets now supports loading projects with semantic models.
  • [dagster-dbt] @dbt_assets now supports loading projects with model versions.
  • [dagster-dbt] get_asset_key_for_model now supports retrieving asset keys for seeds and snapshots. Thanks @aksestok!
  • [dagster-duckdb] The Dagster DuckDB integration supports DuckDB version 0.10.0.
  • [UPath I/O manager] If a non-partitioned asset is updated to have partitions, the file containing the non-partitioned asset data will be deleted when the partitioned asset is materialized, rather than raising an error.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed an issue where creating a backfill of assets with dynamic partitions and a backfill policy would sometimes fail with an exception.
  • Fixed an issue with the type annotations on the @asset decorator causing a false positive in Pyright strict mode. Thanks @tylershunt!
  • [ui] On the asset graph, nodes are slightly wider allowing more text to be displayed, and group names are no longer truncated.
  • [ui] Fixed an issue where the groups in the asset graph would not update after an asset was switched between groups.
  • [dagster-k8s] Fixed an issue where setting the security_context field on the k8s_job_executor didn't correctly set the security context on the launched step pods. Thanks @krgn!

Experimental#

  • Observable source assets can now yield ObserveResults with no data_version.
  • You can now include FreshnessPolicys on observable source assets. These assets will be considered “Overdue” when the latest value for the “dagster/data_time” metadata value is older than what’s allowed by the freshness policy.
  • [ui] In Dagster Cloud, a new feature flag allows you to enable an overhauled asset overview page with a high-level stakeholder view of the asset’s health, properties, and column schema.

Documentation#

  • Updated docs to reflect newly-added support for Python 3.12.

Dagster Cloud#

  • [kubernetes] Fixed an issue where the Kubernetes agent would sometimes leave dangling kubernetes services if the agent was interrupted during the middle of being terminated.

1.6.5 (core) / 0.22.5 (libraries)#

New#

  • Within a backfill or within auto-materialize, when submitting runs for partitions of the same assets, runs are now submitted in lexicographical order of partition key, instead of in an unpredictable order.
  • [dagster-k8s] Include k8s pod debug info in run worker failure messages.
  • [dagster-dbt] Events emitted by DbtCliResource now include metadata from the dbt adapter response. This includes fields like rows_affected, query_id from the Snowflake adapter, or bytes_processed from the BigQuery adapter.

Bugfixes#

  • A previous change prevented asset backfills from grouping multiple assets into the same run when using BackfillPolicies under certain conditions. While the backfills would still execute in the proper order, this could lead to more individual runs than necessary. This has been fixed.
  • [dagster-k8s] Fixed an issue introduced in the 1.6.4 release where upgrading the Helm chart without upgrading the Dagster version used by user code caused failures in jobs using the k8s_job_executor.
  • [instigator-tick-logs] Fixed an issue where invoking context.log.exception in a sensor or schedule did not properly capture exception information.
  • [asset-checks] Fixed an issue where additional dependencies for dbt tests modeled as Dagster asset checks were not properly being deduplicated.
  • [dagster-dbt] Fixed an issue where dbt model, seed, or snapshot names with periods were not supported.

Experimental#

  • @observable_source_asset-decorated functions can now return an ObserveResult. This allows including metadata on the observation, in addition to a data version. This is currently only supported for non-partitioned assets.
  • [auto-materialize] A new AutoMaterializeRule.skip_on_not_all_parents_updated_since_cron class allows you to construct AutoMaterializePolicys which wait for all parents to be updated after the latest tick of a given cron schedule.
  • [Global op/asset concurrency] Ops and assets now take run priority into account when claiming global op/asset concurrency slots.

Documentation#

  • Fixed an error in our asset checks docs. Thanks @vaharoni!
  • Fixed an error in our Dagster Pipes Kubernetes docs. Thanks @cameronmartin!
  • Fixed an issue on the Hello Dagster! guide that prevented it from loading.
  • Add specific capabilities of the Airflow integration to the Airflow integration page.
  • Re-arranged sections in the I/O manager concept page to make info about using I/O versus resources more prominent.

0.8.8#

New

  • The new configured API makes it easy to create configured versions of resources.
  • Deprecated the Materialization event type in favor of the new AssetMaterialization event type, which requires the asset_key parameter. Solids yielding Materialization events will continue to work as before, though the Materialization event will be removed in a future release.
  • We are starting to deprecate "system storages" - instead of pipelines having a system storage definition which creates an intermediate storage, pipelines now directly have an intermediate storage definition.
    • We have added an intermediate_storage_defs argument to ModeDefinition, which accepts a list of IntermediateStorageDefinitions, e.g. s3_plus_default_intermediate_storage_defs. As before, the default includes an in-memory intermediate and a local filesystem intermediate storage.
    • We have deprecated system_storage_defs argument to ModeDefinition in favor of intermediate_storage_defs. system_storage_defs will be removed in 0.10.0 at the earliest.
    • We have added an @intermediate_storage decorator, which makes it easy to define intermediate storages.
    • We have added s3_file_manager and local_file_manager resources to replace the file managers that previously lived inside system storages. The airline demo has been updated to include an example of how to do this: https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/blob/0.8.8/examples/airline_demo/airline_demo/solids.py#L171.
  • The help panel in the dagit config editor can now be resized and toggled open or closed, to enable easier editing on smaller screens.

Bugfixes

  • Opening new Dagit browser windows maintains your current repository selection. #2722
  • Pipelines with the same name in different repositories no longer incorrectly share playground state. #2720
  • Setting default_value config on a field now works as expected. #2725
  • Fixed rendering bug in the dagit run reviewer where yet-to-be executed execution steps were rendered on left-hand side instead of the right.

0.8.7#

Breaking Changes

  • Loading python modules reliant on the working directory being on the PYTHONPATH is no longer supported. The dagster and dagit CLI commands no longer add the working directory to the PYTHONPATH when resolving modules, which may break some imports. Explicitly installed python packages can be specified in workspaces using the python_package workspace yaml config option. The python_module config option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

New

  • Dagit can be hosted on a sub-path by passing --path-prefix to the dagit CLI. #2073
  • The date_partition_range util function now accepts an optional inclusive boolean argument. By default, the function does not return include the partition for which the end time of the date range is greater than the current time. If inclusive=True, then the list of partitions returned will include the extra partition.
  • MultiDependency or fan-in inputs will now only cause the solid step to skip if all of the fanned-in inputs upstream outputs were skipped

Bugfixes

  • Fixed accidental breaking change with input_hydration_config arguments
  • Fixed an issue with yaml merging (thanks @shasha79!)
  • Invoking alias on a solid output will produce a useful error message (thanks @iKintosh!)
  • Restored missing run pagination controls
  • Fixed error resolving partition-based schedules created via dagster schedule decorators (e.g. daily_schedule) for certain workspace.yaml formats

0.8.6#

Breaking Changes

  • The dagster-celery module has been broken apart to manage dependencies more coherently. There are now three modules: dagster-celery, dagster-celery-k8s, and dagster-celery-docker.
  • Related to above, the dagster-celery worker start command now takes a required -A parameter which must point to the app.py file within the appropriate module. E.g if you are using the celery_k8s_job_executor then you must use the -A dagster_celery_k8s.app option when using the celery or dagster-celery cli tools. Similar for the celery_docker_executor: -A dagster_celery_docker.app must be used.
  • Renamed the input_hydration_config and output_materialization_config decorators to dagster_type_ and dagster_type_materializer respectively. Renamed DagsterType's input_hydration_config and output_materialization_config arguments to loader and materializer respectively.

New

  • New pipeline scoped runs tab in Dagit

  • Add the following Dask Job Queue clusters: moab, sge, lsf, slurm, oar (thanks @DavidKatz-il!)

  • K8s resource-requirements for run coordinator pods can be specified using the dagster-k8s/ resource_requirements tag on pipeline definitions:

    @pipeline(
        tags={
            'dagster-k8s/resource_requirements': {
                'requests': {'cpu': '250m', 'memory': '64Mi'},
                'limits': {'cpu': '500m', 'memory': '2560Mi'},
            }
        },
    )
    def foo_bar_pipeline():
    
  • Added better error messaging in dagit for partition set and schedule configuration errors

  • An initial version of the CeleryDockerExecutor was added (thanks @mrdrprofuroboros!). The celery workers will launch tasks in docker containers.

  • Experimental: Great Expectations integration is currently under development in the new library dagster-ge. Example usage can be found here

0.8.5#

Breaking Changes

  • Python 3.5 is no longer under test.
  • Engine and ExecutorConfig have been deleted in favor of Executor. Instead of the @executor decorator decorating a function that returns an ExecutorConfig it should now decorate a function that returns an Executor.

New

  • The python built-in dict can be used as an alias for Permissive() within a config schema declaration.
  • Use StringSource in the S3ComputeLogManager configuration schema to support using environment variables in the configuration (Thanks @mrdrprofuroboros!)
  • Improve Backfill CLI help text
  • Add options to spark_df_output_schema (Thanks @DavidKatz-il!)
  • Helm: Added support for overriding the PostgreSQL image/version used in the init container checks.
  • Update celery k8s helm chart to include liveness checks for celery workers and flower
  • Support step level retries to celery k8s executor

Bugfixes

  • Improve error message shown when a RepositoryDefinition returns objects that are not one of the allowed definition types (Thanks @sd2k!)
  • Show error message when $DAGSTER_HOME environment variable is not an absolute path (Thanks @AndersonReyes!)
  • Update default value for staging_prefix in the DatabricksPySparkStepLauncher configuration to be an absolute path (Thanks @sd2k!)
  • Improve error message shown when Databricks logs can't be retrieved (Thanks @sd2k!)
  • Fix errors in documentation fo input_hydration_config (Thanks @joeyfreund!)

0.8.4#

Bugfix

  • Reverted changed in 0.8.3 that caused error during run launch in certain circumstances
  • Updated partition graphs on schedule page to select most recent run
  • Forced reload of partitions for partition sets to ensure not serving stale data

New

  • Added reload button to dagit to reload current repository
  • Added option to wipe a single asset key by using dagster asset wipe <asset_key>
  • Simplified schedule page, removing ticks table, adding tags for last tick attempt
  • Better debugging tools for launch errors
