Important Changes Coming

2024-09-03T18:11:47.445Z

On September 5, 2024, Coalesce will begin enabling two upgrades for all organizations.

Git Repo Format Upgrade is available now. Mandatory upgrades will start September 5, 2024 and expect to be complete by September 12, 2024.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

We encourage you to prepare for the changes by:

Upgrade the CLI to the latest version.
Have your organization's administrators enable the Git Repo Format Upgrade before the mandatory deadline.
Optionally, contact support to enable the RBAC migration early.
Review existing roles and understand the permissions they will have under the new system.

By preparing for these changes early, you can avoid unintended consequences, such as being unable to make commits until the upgrade is complete.

We encourage you to review our documentation for more details:

Contact our support team to start preparing.

Upgrade Your Git Repo

2024-07-23T15:44:38.622Z

On September 5, 2024, Coalesce will enable the Git Repo Format Upgrade . After September 5, 2024, all Git repos will be automatically updated.

What is the Git Repo Format Upgrade?

We have updated the way files are committed into Git. Previously it was split into a data.yml and the specific nodes.yml files. Now you can see the changes for:

Node Types
Environment Mappings
Subgraphs
Jobs
Macros
Packages

The upgrade is required for Packages and CLI use.

How to Opt-In

Organization Administrators can turn it on for the whole organization. Go to Org Settings > Preferences and Enable Git Repository Format Update. Once enabled, all Workspace users will be prompted to switch to the new format. They won't be able to make commits until they switch to the new format.

Users will be notified the upgrade is available, but won't be able to upgrade.
Previously committed metadata can still be deployed after the upgrade.

Packages

You must be using the new Git Repo Format Upgrade to use Coalesce Packages.

CLI

If you use the CLI and HAVE NOT upgraded to the new Git Repo Format, you have until September 5, 2024 to upgrade your CLI. After September 5, 2024, the Git Repo Format Upgrade will be turned on for all Coalesce organizations and any CLI versions below 7.0.18 won't be compatible with Coalesce versions 7.2.x and above.

If you have upgraded to the new Git Repo Format and use the Coalesce CLI, please upgrade your CLI version to prevent interruptions in workflow.

Checking out branches has improved. With easier to understand messages and clearer understanding of what happens to commits when changing branches.

Added two columns for Used by Workspace and Deployed In Environment so you know where your commits are being used and deployed.
The Git Modal header now shows your current branch, current commit, and if you have any uncommitted changes.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where business keys were being duplicated when the column was copied.
