mozilla-nimbus-schemas 3003.0.0

Schemas used by Mozilla Nimbus and related projects.

Nimbus Schemas

This directory contains a package of schemas published to various repositories for use by different parts of the Mozilla Nimbus experimentation ecosystem.

Installation/Usage

Prerequisites

• python ^3.10
• poetry ^1.8.4
• node ^16
• yarn ^1.22

Common Operations

From project root (i.e., parent to this directory)

• Build: make schemas_build
• Run linting and tests: make schemas_check
• Code formatting: make schemas_format

Adding New Schemas

Example Creating a new sub-package new_stuff

1. Add new directory mozilla_nimbus_schemas / new_stuff with schemas inside.

2. Add new_stuff schemas to the new_stuff directory's __init__.py file.

3. Add new_stuff to top level __init__.py:

   from mozilla_nimbus_schemas.new_stuff import *

4. Generate Typescript and/or JSON Schemas for new_stuff by updating the generate_json_schema.py script like so:

   a. Import new_stuff alongside existing mozilla_nimbus_schemas imports, e.g.,

   from mozilla_nimbus_schemas import experiments, jetstream, new_stuff

   b. (optional) Add new_stuff to Typescript generation

   • Update TS_SCHEMA_PACKAGES list, e.g.,

     TS_SCHEMA_PACKAGES = [experiments, jetstream, new_stuff]

   c. (optional) Add new_stuff to JSON Schema generation

   • Update JSON_SCHEMA_PACKAGES list, e.g.,

     JSON_SCHEMA_PACKAGES = [experiments, new_stuff]

5. Build everything with make schemas_build

6. Update the version (see Versioning below).

Schemas

Jetstream

Contains schemas describing analysis results, metadata, and errors from Jetstream.

Experiments

Defines the schemas used for validating the Experimenter v6 API. Previously defined in the now-deprecated nimbus-shared.

Deployment

The build and deployment occurs automatically through CI. A deployment is triggered on merges into the main branch when the version number changes. Schemas are published to various repos for access in different languages.

Versioning

mozilla-nimbus-schemas uses semantic versioning (semver) of major.minor.patch. Previously, we used a date-based versioning scheme (CalVer), which is why the version is so high (3000+). Any breaking changes should result in an increase in the major version.

Version Updates

1. To update the published package versions, update the VERSION file in this directory.

• From the project root, you can run the helper script:
  • ./scripts/set_schemas_version.sh <version>
• Or write to the file:
  • echo <version> > ./schemas/VERSION
• Or simply edit the file in any text editor.

2. Update the package versions with the new VERSION file:

• make schemas_version
