22 November 2021 Release Notes

Version 1.1.234

Feature Highlights

Delete Kitchen Process Redesigned

The steps for deleting a kitchen have been updated in both the kitchen merge and the kitchen delete features.

In merging a child kitchen up to its parent, the option to delete the child kitchen following a successful merge has been redesigned for improved user experience and consistency with platform styles. Additionally, the delete-after-merge process includes the ability to execute rollback ingredients for resource clean-up if those ingredients were used in creating the kitchen. See Merge Kitchens for more information. [DEV-8316, DEV-8362]

In deleting a kitchen, the redesign improves the experience as well as restores the original function to execute rollback ingredients during deletion. See Delete Kitchens for more information. [DEV-8917, DEV-8362]

Other Fixes & Enhancements

Synapse Connection Issue Resolved: Users attempting to connect their recipes to Synapse databases with the DataKitchen Microsoft SQL/Synapse connector reported getting connection errors. The problem was caused by conflicts in Tabular Data Stream (TDS) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions. This issue has been resolved; the protocol versions are no longer hardcoded and are, instead, negotiated during the handshake process. [DEV-9194]

More Information Added to Processing Error Dialog: Several users reported that the system processing error where an order run cannot execute due to "insufficient resources or an internal error" was not very helpful in diagnosing the problem. While there are many scenarios that can cause internal errors, an updated dialog in this release attempts to provide more useful information. The new dialog offers a quick view of relevant log entries and a link to open the order run logs. [DEV-9258]

Recipe Wiki Loads on Invalid Jinja: After a recent platform update, a user found that his recipe Wiki tab would not load properly when the compilation of a Jinja variable failed. Additionally, other recipe wikis stopped loading after the one wiki failed. This issue has been resolved; the wiki preview loads and displays variables in their uncompiled state when a compilation fails, and other wikis remain unaffected. [DEV-9398]

Alert Email Design Revised: The Automation email notification format was not helping users immediately see important failures and warnings at a glance, and for Microsoft Outlook users, the format was rendering poorly. These issues have been resolved with an email template update. The alert emails separate test results into their failure modes or "Passed," and they are formatted properly in Outlook clients. [DEV-8864, DEV-8754]

Test Results Remain Expanded on Refresh: When users viewed test results while their orders were still processing, any expanded test details would collapse every time the Test Results dialog auto-refreshed in the Order Run Details page. This issue has been resolved, and the test results remain visible on refresh. [DEV-8886]

Hover State Added to Platform Messages: The user notification feature on the Automation login page and in the :material-: Notifications menu truncates long messages. This release adds a full-text tooltip on hover so that users can quickly access the entire message. [DEV-9219]
