opal-tools v2.8.0 (release: 04.02.2022)

You can see the full list of issues with details in the milestones page.

New features

• see milestones page
• the documentation has been updated and expanded significantly

Bug fixes

• see milestones page

Changed behaviour

• No behaviour has changed so that your existing environment will not break. You only have to replace the opal-tools/lib directory.
• Nevertheless, a number of changes will affect a new and clean installation which are very helpful. This is why we advise to do a new, clean install:
  • scripts that should not be modified have been moved from opal-tools/bin to opal-tools/bin/internal
  • all target directories for apex, rest, sql sources will have their own environment variable defined in the setProjectEnvironment.[cmd|sh] file. This is also picked up in all of the generated scripts making them even more transparent and easier to use
  • the source directory has been reorganized, a new level src has been introduced
  • also, the generated scripts will call their respective .sql files in the same directory which simplifies things a lot.
  • you can use the parameter fileFilter instead of fileRegex for connection mappings as well as encoding mappings with a simplified syntax. This also simplifies cross-platform development for both MacOS/Linux and Windows. You can still use fileRegex, your existing environment will not break.

These files are called from the shell scripts and passed as parameters. Your existing patches will continue to work. New releases will generate different patch-templates that will use these different filenames in the filesystem and call them automatically in the shell scripts.
• MANDATORY: In order to streamline the naming of properties, the following attributes have changed in the opal-installer.json file (else these properties will no longer be read):
  • matchRegEx => fileRegex
  • sqlFileRegEx => sqlFileRegex
