name: bump-and-release description: Bump dependency "@typespec/http-client-python" and release new versions for Azure/autorest.python repo. Use when user wants to bump, update, or upgrade the @typespec/http-client-python dependency, create a release PR, or publish new versions of autorest.python and typespec-python packages.

Bump and Release

Bump the "@typespec/http-client-python" dependency and create a release PR for the Azure/autorest.python repository.

Context Variables

• BASE_BRANCH: The branch to base changes on (default: "main")
• CURRENT_DATE: Current date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., "2025-01-01")

Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Branch

Navigate to the root folder of "Azure/autorest.python" repo.

If BASE_BRANCH is "main":

Copygit reset HEAD && git checkout . && git checkout origin/main && git pull origin main && git checkout -b publish/release-{{CURRENT_DATE}}

If BASE_BRANCH is not "main":

Copygit reset HEAD && git checkout . && git fetch origin {{BASE_BRANCH}} && git checkout {{BASE_BRANCH}}

Step 2: Get Latest Version and Update Dependencies

1. Get the latest VERSION of "@typespec/http-client-python" from npm:

   Copynpm view @typespec/http-client-python version
   

2. Update the version of "@typespec/http-client-python" to ~{{VERSION}} in both files:

   • packages/autorest.python/package.json
   • packages/typespec-python/package.json

Step 3: Run Version Tool

Run the change version command:

Copypnpm change version

Verify at least 4 files are changed:

• packages/autorest.python/package.json
• packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
• packages/typespec-python/package.json
• packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md

Step 4: Check for Minor Version Bump

The version tool calculates the next version but may choose patch instead of minor incorrectly.

1. Run git diff to inspect updated CHANGELOG.md files
2. If any CHANGELOG.md contains "### Features", upgrade to minor version instead of patch version
3. Update version numbers in all 4 files:
   • packages/autorest.python/package.json
   • packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
   • packages/typespec-python/package.json
   • packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md

Step 5: Build and Stage

Copypnpm install && pnpm build && git add -u

Step 6: Commit and Push

Copygit commit -m "bump version"
git push origin HEAD

Step 7: Create PR

If no existing PR exists for the current branch, create a new pull request targeting the BASE_BRANCH.
