1.8.11 (core) / 0.24.11 (libraries)#

New#

  • [experimental] AutomationCondition.eager() will now only launch runs for missing partitions which become missing after the condition has been added to the asset. This avoids situations in which the eager policy kicks off a large amount of work when added to an asset with many missing historical static/dynamic partitions.
  • [experimental] Added a new AutomationCondition.asset_matches() condition, which can apply a condition against an arbitrary asset in the graph.
  • [experimental] Added the ability to specify multiple kinds for an asset with the kinds parameter.
  • [dagster-github] Added create_pull_request method on GithubClient that enables creating a pull request.
  • [dagster-github] Added create_ref method on GithubClient that enables creating a new branch.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] dlt assets now generate column metadata for child tables.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] dlt assets can now fetch row count metadata with dlt.run(...).fetch_row_count() for both partitioned and non-partitioned assets. Thanks @kristianandre!
  • [dagster-airbyte] relation identifier metadata is now attached to Airbyte assets.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] relation identifier metadata is now attached to sling assets.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] relation identifier metadata is now attached to dlt assets.

Bugfixes#

  • PartitionedConfig objects can now return a RunConfig without causing a crash.
  • Corrected the AssetIn.__new__ typing for the dagster_type argument.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] dlt assets now generate correct column metadata after the first materialization.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Sling's fetch_row_count() method now works for databases returning uppercase column names. Thanks @kristianandre!
  • [dagster-gcp] Ensure blob download is flushed to temporary file for GCSFileManager.read operations. Thanks @ollie-bell!

Dagster Plus#

  • Fixed a bug in the catalog UI where owners filters were not applied correctly.

1.8.10 (core) / 0.24.10 (libraries)#

New#

  • JobDefinition, @job, and define_asset_job now take a run_tags parameter. If run_tags are defined, they will be attached to all runs of the job, and tags will not be. If run_tags is not set, then tags are attached to all runs of the job (status quo behavior). This change enables the separation of definition-level and run-level tags on jobs.
  • Then env var DAGSTER_COMPUTE_LOG_TAIL_WAIT_AFTER_FINISH can now be used to pause before capturing logs (thanks @HynekBlaha!)
  • The kinds parameter is now available on AssetSpec.
  • OutputContext now exposes the AssetSpec of the asset that is being stored as an output (thanks, @marijncv!)
  • [experimental] Backfills are incorporated into the Runs page to improve observability and provide a more simplified UI. See the GitHub discussion for more details.
  • [ui] The updated navigation is now enabled for all users. You can revert to the legacy navigation via a feature flag. See GitHub discussion for more.
  • [ui] Improved performance for loading partition statuses of an asset job.
  • [dagster-docker] Run containers launched by the DockerRunLauncher now include dagster/job_name and dagster/run_id labels.
  • [dagster-aws] The ECS launcher now automatically retries transient ECS RunTask failures (like capacity placement failures).

Bugfixes#

  • Changed the log volume for global concurrency blocked runs in the run coordinator to be less spammy.
  • [ui] Asset checks are now visible in the run page header when launched from a schedule.
  • [ui] Fixed asset group outlines not rendering properly in Safari.
  • [ui] Reporting a materialization event now removes the asset from the asset health "Execution failures" list and returns the asset to a green / success state.
  • [ui] When setting an AutomationCondition on an asset, the label of this condition will now be shown in the sidebar on the Asset Details page.
  • [ui] Previously, filtering runs by Created date would include runs that had been updated after the lower bound of the requested time range. This has been updated so that only runs created after the lower bound will be included.
  • [ui] When using the new experimental navigation flag, added a fix for the automations page for code locations that have schedules but no sensors.
  • [ui] Fixed tag wrapping on asset column schema table.
  • [ui] Restored object counts on the code location list view.
  • [ui] Padding when displaying warnings on unsupported run coordinators has been corrected (thanks @hainenber!)
  • [dagster-k8s] Fixed an issue where run termination sometimes did not terminate all step processes when using the k8s_job_executor, if the termination was initiated while it was in the middle of launching a step pod.

Documentation#

  • Corrections on the Dagster instance concept page (thanks @mheguy!)
  • Corrections on the code locations concept page (thanks @tiberiuana!)
  • Repeated words removed (thanks @tianzedavid!)
  • [dagster-deltalake] Corrections and improvements (thanks @avriiil!)

  • [dagster-dbt] Corrected sample sql code (thanks @b-per!)

1.8.9 (core) / 0.24.9 (libraries)#

New#

  • AssetSpec now has a with_io_manager_key method that returns an AssetSpec with the appropriate metadata entry to dictate the key for the IO manager used to load it. The deprecation warning for SourceAsset now references this method.
  • Added a max_runtime_seconds configuration option to run monitoring, allowing you to specify that any run in your Dagster deployment should terminate if it exceeds a certain runtime. Prevoiusly, jobs had to be individually tagged with a dagster/max_runtime tag in order to take advantage of this feature. Jobs and runs can still be tagged in order to override this value for an individual run.
  • It is now possible to set both tags and a custom execution_fn on a ScheduleDefinition. Schedule tags are intended to annotate the definition and can be used to search and filter in the UI. They will not be attached to run requests emitted from the schedule if a custom execution_fn is provided. If no custom execution_fn is provided, then for back-compatibility the tags will also be automatically attached to run requests emitted from the schedule.
  • SensorDefinition and all of its variants/decorators now accept a tags parameter. The tags annotate the definition and can be used to search and filter in the UI.
  • Added the dagster definitions validate command to Dagster CLI. This command validates if Dagster definitions are loadable.
  • [dagster-databricks] Databricks Pipes now allow running tasks in existing clusters.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed an issue where calling build_op_context in a unit test would sometimes raise a TypeError: signal handler must be signal.SIG_IGN, signal.SIG_DFL, or a callable object Exception on process shutdown.
  • [dagster-webserver] Fix an issue where the incorrect sensor/schedule state would appear when using DefaultScheduleStatus.STOPPED / DefaultSensorStatus.STOPPED after performing a reset.

Documentation#

  • [dagster-pipes] Fixed inconsistencies in the k8s pipes example.
  • [dagster-pandas-pyspark] Fixed example in the Spark/Pandas SDA guide.

  • Fixed an issue preventing long-running alerts from being sent when there was a quick subsequent run.

1.8.8 (core) / 0.24.8 (libraries)#

New#

  • Added --partition-range option to dagster asset materialize CLI. This option only works for assets with single-run Backfill Policies.
  • Added a new .without() method to AutomationCondition.eager(), AutomationCondition.on_cron(), and AutomationCondition.on_missing() which allows sub-conditions to be removed, e.g. AutomationCondition.eager().without(AutomationCondition.in_latest_time_window()).
  • Added AutomationCondition.on_missing(), which materializes an asset partition as soon as all of its parent partitions are filled in.
  • pyproject.toml can now load multiple Python modules as individual Code Locations. Thanks, @bdart!
  • [ui] If a code location has errors, a button will be shown to view the error on any page in the UI.
  • [dagster-adls2] The ADLS2PickleIOManager now accepts lease_duration configuration. Thanks, @0xfabioo!
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Added an option to fetch row count metadata after running a Sling sync by calling sling.replicate(...).fetch_row_count().
  • [dagster-fivetran] The dagster-fivetran integration will now automatically pull and attach column schema metadata after each sync.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed an issue which could cause errors when using AutomationCondition.any_downstream_condition() with downstream AutoMaterializePolicy objects.
  • Fixed an issue where process_config_and_initialize did not properly handle processing nested resource config.
  • [ui] Fixed an issue that would cause some AutomationCondition evaluations to be labeled DepConditionWrapperCondition instead of the key that they were evaluated against.
  • [dagster-webserver] Fixed an issue with code locations appearing in fluctuating incorrect state in deployments with multiple webserver processes.
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Fixed an issue where Sling column lineage did not correctly resolve int the Dagster UI.
  • [dagster-k8s] The wait_for_pod check now waits until all pods are available, rather than erroneously returning after the first pod becomes available. Thanks @easontm!

Dagster Plus#

  • Backfill daemon logs are now available in the "Coordinator Logs" tab in a backfill details page.
  • Users without proper code location permissions can no longer edit sensor cursors.

1.8.7 (core) / 0.24.7 (libraries)#

New#

  • The AssetSpec constructor now raises an error if an invalid group name is provided, instead of an error being raised when constructing the Definitions object.
  • dagster/relation_identifier metadata is now automatically attached to assets which are stored using a DbIOManager.
  • [ui] Streamlined the code location list view.
  • [ui] The “group by” selection on the Timeline Overview page is now part of the query parameters, meaning it will be retained when linked to directly or when navigating between pages.
  • [dagster-dbt] When instantiating DbtCliResource, the project_dir argument will now override the DBT_PROJECT_DIR environment variable if it exists in the local environment (thanks, @marijncv!).
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] dlt assets now generate rows_loaded metadata (thanks, @kristianandre!).
  • Added support for pydantic version 1.9.0.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed bug where the tick status filter for batch-fetched graphql sensors was not being respected.
  • [examples] Fixed missing assets in assets_dbt_python example.
  • [dagster-airbyte] Updated the op names generated for Airbyte assets to include the full connection ID, avoiding name collisions.
  • [dagster-dbt] Fixed issue causing dagster-dbt to be unable to load dbt projects where the adapter did not have a database field set (thanks, @dargmuesli!)
  • [dagster-dbt] Removed a warning about not being able to load the dbt.adapters.duckdb module when loading dbt assets without that package installed.

Documentation#

  • Fixed typo on the automation concepts page (thanks, @oedokumaci!)

Dagster Plus#

  • You may now wipe specific asset partitions directly from the execution context in user code by calling DagsterInstance.wipe_asset_partitions.
  • Dagster+ users with a "Viewer" role can now create private catalog views.
  • Fixed an issue where the default IOManager used by Dagster+ Serverless did not respect setting allow_missing_partitions as metadata on a downstream asset.

  • [dagster-k8s] Added support for setting dagsterDaemon.runRetries.retryOnAssetOrOpFailure to False in the Dagster Helm chart to prevent op retries and run retries from simultaneously firing on the same failure.
  • [dagster-wandb] Removed usage of deprecated recursive parameter (Thanks, chrishiste!)

Bugfixes#

  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Fixed an issue where dbt assets downstream of Sling were skipped

Deprecations#

  • [dagser-aws]: Direct AWS API arguments in PipesGlueClient.run have been deprecated and will be removed in 1.9.0. The new params argument should be used instead.

Dagster Plus#

  • Fixed a bug that caused an error when loading the launchpad for a partition, when using Dagster+ with an agent with version below 1.8.2.

New#

  • When different assets within a code location have different PartitionsDefinitions, there will no longer be an implicit asset job __ASSET_JOB_... for each PartitionsDefinition; there will just be one with all the assets. This reduces the time it takes to load code locations with assets with many different PartitionsDefinitions.

New#

  • [ui] Improved performance of the Automation history view for partitioned assets
  • [ui] You can now delete dynamic partitions for an asset from the ui

  • [dagster-ui] Asset materializations can now be reported from the dropdown menu in the asset list view.
  • [dagster-dbt] DbtProject is adopted and no longer experimental. Using DbtProject helps achieve a setup where the dbt manifest file and dbt dependencies are available and up-to-date, during development and in production. Check out the API docs for more: https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-dbt#dagster_dbt.DbtProject.
  • [dagster-dbt] The —use-dbt-project flag was introduced for the cli command dagster-dbt project scaffold. Creating a Dagster project wrapping a dbt project using that flag will include a DbtProject .
  • [dagster-ui] The Dagster UI now loads events in batches of 1000 in the run log viewer, instead of batches of 10000. This value can be adjusted by setting the DAGSTER_UI_EVENT_LOAD_CHUNK_SIZE environment variable on the Dagster webserver.
  • Asset backfills will now retry if there is an unexpected exception raised in the middle of the backfill. Previously, they would only retry if there was a problem connecting to the code server while launching runs in the backfill.
  • Added the ability to monitor jobs which have failed to start in time with the RunFailureReason.START_TIMEOUT run monitoring failure reason. Thanks @jobicarter!
  • [experimental] Introduced the ability to attach code references to your assets, which allow you to view source code for an asset in your editor or in git source control. For more information, see the code references docs: https://docs.dagster.io/guides/dagster/code-references.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed a bug that caused tags added to ObserveResult objects to not be stored with the produced AssetObservation event.
  • Fixed a bug which could cause metadata defined on SourceAssets to be unavailable when accessed in an IOManager.
  • For subselections of graph-backed multi-assets, there are some situations where we used to unnecessarily execute some of the non-selected assets. Now, we no longer execute them in those situations. There are also some situations where we would skip execution of some ops that might be needed. More information on the particulars is available here.
  • Fixed the @graph_asset decorator overload missing an owners argument, thanks @askvinni!
  • Fixed behavior of passing custom image config to the K8sRunLauncher, thanks @marchinho11!
  • [dagster-dbt] Fixed an issue with emitting column lineage when using BigQuery.
  • [dagster-k8s] Added additional retries to execute_k8s_job when there was a transient failure while loading logs from the launched job. Thanks @piotrmarczydlo!
  • [dagster-fivetran] Fixed an issue where the Fivetran connector resource would sometimes hang if there was a networking issue while connecting to the Fivetran API.
  • [dagster-aws] Fixed an issue where the EMR step launcher would sometimes fail due to multiple versions of the dateutil package being installed in the default EMR python evnrionment.
  • [ui] The “Create date” column in the runs table now correctly shows the time at which a run was created instead of the time when it started to execute.
  • [ui] Fixed dark mode colors in run partitions graphs.
  • [auto-materialize] Fixed an issue which could cause errors in the AutoMaterializeRule.skip_on_parent_missing rule when a parent asset had its PartitionsDefinition changed.
  • [declarative-automation] Fixed an issue which could cause errors when viewing the evaluation history of assets with AutomationConditions.
  • [declarative-automation] Previously, AutomationCondition.newly_updated() would trigger on any ASSET_OBSERVATION event. Now, it only triggers when the data version on that event changes.

Breaking Changes#

  • [dagster-dbt] The cli command dagster-dbt project prepare-for-deployment has been replaced by dagster-dbt project prepare-and-package.
  • [dagster-dbt] During development,DbtProject no longer prepares the dbt manifest file and dbt dependencies in its constructor during initialization. This process has been moved to prepare_if_dev(), that can be called on the DbtProject instance after initialization. Check out the API docs for more: https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-dbt#dagster_dbt.DbtProject.prepare_if_dev.

Deprecations#

  • Passing GraphDefinition as the job argument to schedules and sensors is deprecated. Derive a job from the GraphDefinition using graph_def.to_job() and pass this instead.

Documentation#

  • Added some additional copy, headings, and other formatting to the dbt quickstart.
  • Added information about asset checks to the Testing assets guide.
  • Updated dagster-plus CLI in the sidenav to correctly be dagster-cloud CLI.

  • A new API build_freshness_checks_for_dbt_assets which allows users to parameterize freshness checks entirely within dbt. Check out the API docs for more: https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-dbt#dbt-dagster-dbt.
  • Asset search results now display compute and storage kind icons.
  • Asset jobs where the underlying assets have multiple backfill policies will no longer fail at definition time. Instead, the backfill policy for the job will use the minimum max_partitions_per_run from the job’s constituent assets.
  • [dagstermill] asset_tags can now be specified when building dagstermill assets
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] Custom asset tags can be applied to Sling assets via the DagsterSlingTranslator
  • [dagster-embedded-elt] dlt assets now automatically have dagster/storage_kind tags attached

Bugfixes#

  • tags passed to outs in graph_multi_asset now get correctly propagated to the resulting assets.
  • [ui] Fixed an issue in the where when multiple runs were started at the same time to materialize the same asset, the most recent one was not always shown as in progress in the asset graph in the Dagster UI.
  • The “newly updated” auto-materialize rule will now respond to either new observations or materializations for observable assets.
  • build_metadata_bounds_checks now no longer errors when targeting metadata keys that have special characters.

Dagster Plus#

  • [experimental] The backfill daemon can now store logs and display them in the UI for increased visibility into the daemon’s behavior. Please contact Dagster Labs if you are interested in piloting this experimental feature.
  • Added a --read-only flag to the dagster-cloud ci branch-deployment CLI command, which returns the current branch deployment name for the current code repository branch without update the status of the branch deployment.

1.7.9 (core) / 0.23.9 (libraries)#

New#

  • Dagster will now display a “storage kind” tag on assets in the UI, similar to the existing compute kind. To set storage kind for an asset, set its dagster/storage_kind tag.
  • You can now set retry policy on dbt assets, to enable coarse-grained retries with delay and jitter. For fine-grained partial retries, we still recommend invoking dbt retry within a try/except block to avoid unnecessary, duplicate work.
  • AssetExecutionContext now exposes a has_partition_key_range property.
  • The owners, metadata, tags, and deps properties on AssetSpec are no longer Optional. The AssetSpec constructor still accepts None values, which are coerced to empty collections of the relevant type.
  • The docker_executor and k8s_job_executor now consider at most 1000 events at a time when loading events from the current run to determine which steps should be launched. This value can be tuned by setting the DAGSTER_EXECUTOR_POP_EVENTS_LIMIT environment variable in the run process.
  • Added a dagster/retry_on_asset_or_op_failure tag that can be added to jobs to override run retry behavior for runs of specific jobs. See the docs for more information.
  • Improved the sensor produced by build_sensor_for_freshness_checks to describe when/why it skips evaluating freshness checks.
  • A new “Runs” tab on the backfill details page allows you to see list and timeline views of the runs launched by the backfill.
  • [dagster-dbt] dbt will now attach relation identifier metadata to asset materializations to indicate where the built model is materialized to.
  • [dagster-graphql] The GraphQL Python client will now include the HTTP error code in the exception when a query fails. Thanks @yuvalgimmunai!

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed sensor logging behavior with the @multi_asset_sensor.
  • ScheduleDefinition now properly supports being passed a RunConfig object.
  • When an asset function returns a MaterializeResult, but the function has no type annotation, previously, the IO manager would still be invoked with a None value. Now, the IO manager is not invoked.
  • The AssetSpec constructor now raises an error if an invalid owner string is passed to it.
  • When using the graph_multi_asset decorator, the code_version property on AssetOuts passed in used to be ignored. Now, they no longer are.
  • [dagster-deltalake] Fixed GcsConfig import error and type error for partitioned assets (Thanks @thmswt)
  • The asset graph and asset catalog now show the materialization status of External assets (when manually reported) rather than showing “Never observed”

Documentation#

  • The External Assets REST APIs now have their own reference page
  • Added details, updated copy, and improved formatting to External Assets REST APIs

Dagster Plus#

  • The ability to set a custom base deployment when creating a branch deployment has been enabled for all organizations.
  • When a code location fails to deploy, the Kubernetes agent now includes additional any warning messages from the underlying replicaset in the failure message to aid with troubleshooting.
  • Serverless deployments now support using a requirements.txt with hashes.
  • Fixed an issue where the dagster-cloud job launch command did not support specifying asset keys with prefixes in the --asset-key argument.
  • [catalog UI] Catalog search now allows filtering by type, i.e. group:, code location:, tag:, owner:.
  • New dagster+ accounts will now start with two default alert policies; one to alert if the default free credit budget for your plan is exceeded, and one to alert if a single run goes over 24 hours. These alerts will be sent as emails to the email with which the account was initially created.
