Astro CLI 1.6.1

Release date: November 3, 2022

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where authenticating to Astronomer Software with interactive=true in your CLI configuration resulted in a 502 error.

Astro CLI 1.6.0

Release date: September 28, 2022

New commands to manage Airflow objects

You can use the new astro dev object commands to better manage Airflow connections, variables, and pools between your local testing environment and Astro Deployments.

• astro dev object import imports connections, variables, and pools from your Astro project airflow_settings.yaml into your locally running Airflow environment without restarting it.
• astro dev object export exports connections, variables, and pools from your local airflow database to a file of your choosing.

Additional improvements

• You can now define connections in the conn_extra field of airflow_settings.yaml as YAML blocks instead of stringified JSON objects.
• The Astro CLI for Windows is now distributed as an .exe file.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where astro dev start did not properly load Airflow object configurations from airflow_settings.yaml
• Fixed an issue where astro deployment user list listed incorrect roles for some users

Astro CLI 1.5.0

Release date: September 2, 2022

New flags for paginating Workspace, Team, and user lists

You can now paginate longer lists of Workspaces, Teams, and users by using the --paginated flag with any of the following commands:

• astro workspace user list
• astro workspace switch
• astro team list

By default, paginated lists show 20 items per page. To change the number of items per page, set the --page-list flag.

To permanently set these flags, run the following commands:

# Always paginate lists when possible
astro config set -g interactive true
# Always show the specified number of items per page
astro config set -g page_size <page_size>

Additional improvements

• You can now use the --no-browser flag with astro dev start to run Airflow on a browserless machine.
• You can now use the --roles flag with astro team get to see the role of that Team in each Workspace and Deployment it belongs to.
• You can now use the --all flag with astro team get to view all available information for each user in the Team.
• astro dev restart no longer automatically opens a browser tab with the Airflow UI.
