Migration Guide#

This page can help when migrating Taskgraph across major versions.

6.x -> 7.x#

  • Upgrade to Python 3.8 or higher

  • Ensure root_dir now points to taskcluster instead of taskcluster/ci. Typically this value is not passed in explicitly by consumers, but updates are likely required if you have custom code that uses any of the following objects: * taskgraph.config.GraphConfig * taskgraph.config.load_graph_config * taskgraph.generator.TaskGraphGenerator * taskgraph.generator.load_tasks_for_kinds * The -r/--root flag on the taskgraph binary

  • Rename the run_job_using decorator to run_task_using

  • Move config.yml from taskcluster/ci to taskcluster

  • Rename the taskcluster/ci directory to taskcluster/kinds

  • Replace references to taskgraph.transforms.job with taskgraph.transforms.run

  • Replace references to taskgraph.transforms.release_notifications with taskgraph.transforms.notify

  • Replace references to taskgraph.target_tasks._target_task with taskgraph.target_tasks.register_target_task

  • Stop using or inline taskgraph.util.decision.make_decision_task

  • Stop using the decision-mobile docker image

  • Ensure MacOS workers that need Mercurial have hg on their PATH

5.x -> 6.x#

  • Replace all uses of command-context` with the more generalized ``task-context

4.x -> 5.x#

  • Upgrade to Python 3.7 or higher

3.x -> 4.x#

  • Remove all uses of the disable-seccomp key in the worker section of task definitions.

2.x -> 3.x#

  • Use a decision image at least as recent as this one.

  • Rename config.kind_dependencies_tasks to config.kind_dependencies_tasks.values().

  • Rename vcs.head_ref to vcs.head_rev. vcs.head_ref still exists but points to the actual reference instead of the revision.

  • Rename vcs.base_ref to vcs.base_rev. Same rationale as above.

1.x -> 2.x#

  • For all kinds using the transform loader, rename the following keys in both the kind.yml file and any files referenced in jobs-from:

    jobs -> tasks
jobs-from -> tasks-from
job-defaults -> task-defaults

  • Rename taskgraph.util.schema.WHITELISTED_SCHEMA_IDENTIFIERS to taskgraph.util.schema.EXCEPTED_SCHEMA_IDENTIFIERS.

  • Rename any instances of taskgraph.optimize.Either to taskgraph.optimize.Any.

  • Add a deadline parameter as the third argument to any custom optimization strategies’ should_replace_task() function. For migration purposes it doesn’t need to be used.

  • Replace taskgraph.util.taskcluster.status_task with taskgraph.util.taskcluster.state_task.
