version-updater 0.0.4

Updates semantic versions, either of the artifact itself, or its dependencies

# (Semantic) Version Updater

A simple tool for updating versions of both dependencies and main artifact versions in CI pipelines based on semantic versioning. The main use-cases are:

• Explicitly set a dependency version to the new one produced by a successful pipeline run

• Bump the semantic version of the artifact produced by a repo’s build pipeline. This could happen at the same time as the previous use-case

Typically, a chain of CI pipelines need to trigger updates to dependent projects once an acceptable testing outcome has been achieved, and you still want team membebrs to be able to clone a repo that has been auto-managed in this way and have a complete, working dependency file without any variables. This tool is aimed at solving that issue.

# Installation

TBD

# Examples

## Set some dependency versions to new ones from a prior CI pipeline, and bump the major version (package.json)

update-version –set-dependencies react=1.2.3,react-dom=2.3.4 package1.json –bump major

## Update the patch version in the .gitlab-ci.yml

update-version –bump patch .gitlab-ci.yml

## Update a dependency and main version of setup.py

update-version –set-dependencies semver=4.5.6 setup.py –bump major

## Update a dependency in requirements.txt; ignore bumping the main version which is meaningless

update-version –set-dependencies gtfs-realtime-bindings=4.5.6 foo-requirements.txt –bump major
