Changelog#

1.9.6 (core) / 0.25.6 (libraries)#

New#

  • Updated cronitor pin to allow versions >= 5.0.1 to enable use of DayOfWeek as 7. Cronitor 4.0.0 is still disallowed. (Thanks, @joshuataylor!)
  • Added flag checkDbReadyInitContainer to optionally disable db check initContainer.
  • [ui] Added Google Drive icon for kind tags. (Thanks, @dragos-pop!)
  • [ui] Renamed the run lineage sidebar on the Run details page to Re-executions.
  • [ui] Sensors and schedules that appear in the Runs page are now clickable.
  • [ui] Runs targeting assets now show more of the assets in the Runs page.
  • [dagster-airbyte] The destination type for an Airbyte asset is now added as a kind tag for display in the UI.
  • [dagster-gcp] DataprocResource now receives an optional parameter labels to be attached to Dataproc clusters. (Thanks, @thiagoazcampos!)
  • [dagster-k8s] Added a checkDbReadyInitContainer flag to the Dagster Helm chart to allow disabling the default init container behavior. (Thanks, @easontm!)
  • [dagster-k8s] K8s pod logs are now logged when a pod fails. (Thanks, @apetryla!)
  • [dagster-sigma] Introduced build_materialize_workbook_assets_definition which can be used to build assets that run materialize schedules for a Sigma workbook.
  • [dagster-snowflake] SnowflakeResource and SnowflakeIOManager both accept additional_snowflake_connection_args config. This dictionary of arguments will be passed to the snowflake.connector.connect method. This config will be ignored if you are using the sqlalchemy connector.
  • [helm] Added the ability to set user-deployments labels on k8s deployments as well as pods.

Bugfixes#

  • Assets with self dependencies and BackfillPolicy are now evaluated correctly during backfills. Self dependent assets no longer result in serial partition submissions or disregarded upstream dependencies.
  • Previously, the freshness check sensor would not re-evaluate freshness checks if an in-flight run was planning on evaluating that check. Now, the freshness check sensor will kick off an independent run of the check, even if there's already an in flight run, as long as the freshness check can potentially fail.
  • Previously, if the freshness check was in a failing state, the sensor would wait for a run to update the freshness check before re-evaluating. Now, if there's a materialization later than the last evaluation of the freshness check and no planned evaluation, we will re-evaluate the freshness check automatically.
  • [ui] Fixed run log streaming for runs with a large volume of logs.
  • [ui] Fixed a bug in the Backfill Preview where a loading spinner would spin forever if an asset had no valid partitions targeted by the backfill.
  • [dagster-aws] PipesCloudWatchMessageReader correctly identifies streams which are not ready yet and doesn't fail on ThrottlingException. (Thanks, @jenkoian!)
  • [dagster-fivetran] Column metadata can now be fetched for Fivetran assets using FivetranWorkspace.sync_and_poll(...).fetch_column_metadata().
  • [dagster-k8s] The k8s client now waits for the main container to be ready instead of only waiting for sidecar init containers. (Thanks, @OrenLederman!)

Documentation#

  • Fixed a typo in the dlt_assets API docs. (Thanks, @zilto!)

1.9.5 (core) / 0.25.5 (libraries)#

New#

  • The automatic run retry daemon has been updated so that there is a single source of truth for if a run will be retried and if the retry has been launched. Tags are now added to run at failure time indicating if the run will be retried by the automatic retry system. Once the automatic retry has been launched, the run ID of the retry is added to the original run.
  • When canceling a backfill of a job, the backfill daemon will now cancel all runs launched by that backfill before marking the backfill as canceled.
  • Dagster execution info (tags such as dagster/run-id, dagster/code-location, dagster/user and Dagster Cloud environment variables) typically attached to external resources are now available under DagsterRun.dagster_execution_info.
  • SensorReturnTypesUnion is now exported for typing the output of sensor functions.
  • [dagster-dbt] dbt seeds now get a valid code version (Thanks @marijncv!).
  • Manual and automatic retries of runs launched by backfills that occur while the backfill is still in progress are now incorporated into the backfill's status.
  • Manual retries of runs launched by backfills are no longer considered part of the backfill if the backfill is complete when the retry is launched.
  • [dagster-fivetran] Fivetran assets can now be materialized using the FivetranWorkspace.sync_and_poll(…) method in the definition of a @fivetran_assets decorator.
  • [dagster-fivetran] load_fivetran_asset_specs has been updated to accept an instance of DagsterFivetranTranslator or custom subclass.
  • [dagster-fivetran] The fivetran_assets decorator was added. It can be used with the FivetranWorkspace resource and DagsterFivetranTranslator translator to load Fivetran tables for a given connector as assets in Dagster. The build_fivetran_assets_definitions factory can be used to create assets for all the connectors in your Fivetran workspace.
  • [dagster-aws] ECSPipesClient.run now waits up to 70 days for tasks completion (waiter parameters are configurable) (Thanks @jenkoian!)
  • [dagster-dbt] Update dagster-dbt scaffold template to be compatible with uv (Thanks @wingyplus!).
  • [dagster-airbyte] A load_airbyte_cloud_asset_specs function has been added. It can be used with the AirbyteCloudWorkspace resource and DagsterAirbyteTranslator translator to load your Airbyte Cloud connection streams as external assets in Dagster.
  • [ui] Add an icon for the icechunk kind.
  • [ui] Improved ui for manual sensor/schedule evaluation.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed database locking bug for the ConsolidatedSqliteEventLogStorage, which is mostly used for tests.

  • [ui] Fix global auto-materialize tick timeline when paginating.

1.9.4 (core) / 0.25.4 (libraries)#

New#

  • [ui] Add Spanner kind icon.
  • [ui] The asset catalog now supports filtering using the asset selection syntax.
  • [dagster-pipes, dagster-aws] PipesS3MessageReader now has a new parameter include_stdio_in_messages which enables log forwarding to Dagster via Pipes messages.
  • [dagster-pipes] Experimental: A new Dagster Pipes message type log_external_stream has been added. It can be used to forward external logs to Dagster via Pipes messages.
  • [dagster-powerbi] Opts in to using admin scan APIs to pull data from a Power BI instance. This can be disabled by passing load_powerbi_asset_specs(..., use_workspace_scan=False).
  • [dagster-sigma] Introduced an experimental dagster-sigma snapshot command, allowing Sigma workspaces to be captured to a file for faster subsequent loading.

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed a bug that caused DagsterExecutionStepNotFoundError errors when trying to execute an asset check step of a run launched by a backfill.
  • Fixed an issue where invalid cron strings like "0 0 30 2 *" that represented invalid dates in February were still allowed as Dagster cron strings, but then failed during schedule execution. Now, these invalid cronstrings will raise an exception when they are first loaded.
  • Fixed a bug where owners added to AssetOuts when defining a @graph_multi_asset were not added to the underlying AssetsDefinition.
  • Fixed a bug where using the & or | operators on AutomationConditions with labels would cause that label to be erased.
