piggyback (development version)

  • Fix bug in pb_releases() to allow for draft releases to appear [#105]
  • pb_upload() no longer offers to create a release if interactive - it now provides the code to create the release in the error body.
  • pb_download() now tries to uses browser download URLs (i.e. pb_download_url()) before trying API download URLs. This should reduce/eliminate effect of API rate limits for pb_download. [#109]
  • "latest" release now aligns with GitHub’s “latest” release definition [#113]
  • pb_download_url() now can return choice of “browser” or “api” download URLs [#116]
  • Add new functions pb_read() and pb_write() as convenience wrappers around pattern of downloading to tempfile() and then reading into memory. [#97]
  • Support customizing GitHub base URL via GITHUB_API_URL environment variable, which should help support GH Enterprise [#122]

piggyback 0.1.5

CRAN release: 2023-07-10

  • Fix bug in pb_upload() to correctly resolve "latest" tag - if there is no release tag actually named “latest” it will use the first release from pb_releases(). [#75]
  • Make pb_download() and pb_info() also resolve "latest" similarly: if there is no release tag named “latest”, use first release from pb_releases()
  • Updated test coverage to use GHA
  • Fixed error handling for pb_list() for no release.
  • pb_list() now respects the option "piggyback.verbose"
  • Fix download token handling [#88]
  • pb_upload() no longer prints out extra newlines [#93]
  • pb_new_release() now warns and exits early instead of failing if a release already exists. [#95]
  • Fixup test issues [#100]
  • pb_upload adds a two-second sleep after user creates release [#101]
    • This is because it takes a few seconds for the GitHub API to register that the new release has been created
  • Adds piggyback.cache R option to avoid memoising altogether
  • Adds .pb_cache_clear() function to empty the cache more consistently (internally and externally)

piggyback 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2022-07-19

piggyback 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2022-05-19

  • fix bug in pb_upload() for uploading to a release with no assets [#67]
  • avoid implicit dependency on tibble [#70]

piggyback 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2022-04-26

  • update intro vignette to remove all mentions of pb_track(), pb_push(), and pb_pull() which were removed as of version 0.0.0.9900
  • pb_upload() now handles the dir argument to control relative path directories.
  • update intro vignette to remove mention of path name handling and instead provide examples of how path names are handled.
  • update intro vignette instructions for git authentication
  • pb_new_release() now reports HTTP errors when attempting to create a new release and returns the contents of the error if it fails.
  • pb_releases() created - it returns a list of releases available in the repository.
  • Internal function pb_info() refactored to search for the specified tag(s) which should improve performance. Should handle multiple tags gracefully.
  • Internal function pb_info() (and therefore pb_list(), pb_download(), pb_download_url()) no longer ask about creating new releases if the release is not found.
  • pb_upload() is now the only function that offers (interactively) to create a new release if release is not found. If noninteractive, user must run pb_new_release() manually prior to uploading.
  • CLI messaging now consistently uses cli package and no longer uses clisymbols or crayon - this is to align with the imports from the gh package.
  • Documentation updated.
  • Add options(“piggyback.verbose”) TRUE/FALSE to control verbosity/messaging levels.

piggyback 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2021-09-09

  • switch to gh::gh_token() for token management. Still supports the same env var approach, but also compatible with gitcreds and other use.
  • resolve issue in pb_upload() when creating a new tag in the process, previously data would be attached to the previously latest tag instead of the newly created one.
  • resolve issue in pb_download() where httr would report a 401 status even after data successfully downloads.

piggyback 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2021-08-06

  • address remaining authentication issue in changes to GitHub API (on pb_upload()) [#47]
  • Use flat file structure on upload/download instead of encoding path [#48]
  • improve performance via more aggressive memoising of pb_info() calls, inceasing default piggyback_cache_duration to 10 minutes [#46]
  • Resolve bug introduced by API changes that would stop creation of tags on repos with default branch called main or without previous releases [#48]

piggyback 0.0.12

  • address issues in authentication due to changes in GitHub API (#37)

piggyback 0.0.11 2020-02-25

CRAN release: 2020-02-25

  • guess_repo() now infers a remote when there are multiple associated with the repo. The “upstream” (preferred) or “origin” repo is selected if either exists, otherwise the function errors and asks the user to explicitly specify a repo (#31).
  • release_info() now works properly when there are no existing releases, which enables the usage of pb_new_release() on repos without a release (#29).
  • Fix error on pb_info() under certain cases which resulted in Error in a[[1]] : subscript out of bounds, (#36)
  • Fix CRAN unit-test on deleting file
