v0.8.0

• Added DBFSPath as os.PathLike implementation (#131). The open-source library has been updated with a new class DBFSPath, an implementation of os.PathLike for Databricks File System (DBFS) paths. This new class extends the existing WorkspacePath support and provides pathlib-like functionality for DBFS paths, including methods for creating directories, renaming and deleting files and directories, and reading and writing files. The addition of DBFSPath includes type-hinting for improved code linting and is integrated in the test suite with new and updated tests for path-like objects. The behavior of the exists and unlink methods have been updated for WorkspacePath to improve performance and raise appropriate errors.
• Fixed .as_uri() and .absolute() implementations for WorkspacePath (#127). In this release, the WorkspacePath class in the paths.py module has been updated with several improvements to the .as_uri() and .absolute() methods. These methods now utilize PathLib internals, providing better cross-version compatibility. The .as_uri() method now uses an f-string for concatenation and returns the UTF-8 encoded string representation of the WorkspacePath object via a new __bytes__() dunder method. Additionally, the .absolute() method has been implemented for the trivial (no-op) case and now supports returning the absolute path of files or directories in Databricks Workspace. Furthermore, the glob() and rglob() methods have been enhanced to support case-sensitive pattern matching based on a new case_sensitive parameter. To ensure the integrity of these changes, two new test cases, test_as_uri() and test_absolute(), have been added, thoroughly testing the functionality of these methods.
• Fixed WorkspacePath support for python 3.11 (#121). The WorkspacePath class in our open-source library has been updated to improve compatibility with Python 3.11. The .expanduser() and .glob() methods have been modified to address internal changes in Python 3.11. The is_dir() and is_file() methods now include a follow_symlinks parameter, although it is not currently used. A new method, _scandir(), has been added for compatibility with Python 3.11. The expanduser() method has also been updated to expand ~ (but not ~user) constructs. Additionally, a new method is_notebook() has been introduced to check if the path points to a notebook in Databricks Workspace. These changes aim to ensure that the library functions smoothly with the latest version of Python and provides additional functionality for users working with Databricks Workspace.
• Properly verify versions of python (#118). In this release, we have made significant updates to the pyproject.toml file to enhance project dependency and development environment management. We have added several new packages to the dependencies section to expand the library's functionality and compatibility. Additionally, we have removed the python field, as it is no longer necessary. We have also updated the path field to specify the location of the virtual environment, which can improve integration with popular development tools such as Visual Studio Code and PyCharm. These changes are intended to streamline the development process and make it easier to manage dependencies and set up the development environment.
• Type annotations on path-related unit tests (#128). In this open-source library update, type annotations have been added to path-related unit tests to enhance code clarity and maintainability. The tests encompass various scenarios, including verifying if a path exists, creating, removing, and checking directories, and testing file attributes such as distinguishing directories, notebooks, and regular files. The additions also cover functionality for opening and manipulating files in different modes like read binary, write binary, read text, and write text. Furthermore, tests for checking file permissions, handling errors, and globbing (pattern-based file path matching) have been incorporated. The tests interact with a WorkspaceClient mock object, simulating file system interactions. This enhancement bolsters the library's reliability and assists developers in creating robust, well-documented code when working with file system paths.
• Updated WorkspacePath to support Python 3.12 (#122). In this release, the WorkspacePath implementation has been updated to ensure compatibility with Python 3.12, in addition to Python 3.10 and 3.11. The class was modified to replace most of the internal implementation and add extensive tests for public interfaces, ensuring that the superclass implementations are not used unless they are known to be safe. This change is in response to the significant changes in the superclass implementations between Python 3.11 and 3.12, which were found to be incompatible with each other. The WorkspacePath class now includes several new methods and tests to ensure that it functions seamlessly with different versions of Python. These changes include testing for initialization, equality, hash, comparison, path components, and various path manipulations. This update enhances the library's adaptability and ensures it functions correctly with different versions of Python. Classifiers have also been updated to include support for Python 3.12.
• WorkspacePath fixes for the .resolve() implementation (#129). The .resolve() method for WorkspacePath has been updated to improve its handling of relative paths and the strict argument. Previously, relative paths were not properly validated and would be returned as-is. Now, relative paths will cause the method to fail. The strict argument is now checked, and if set to True and the path does not exist, a FileNotFoundError will be raised. The method .absolute() is used to obtain the absolute path of the file or directory in Databricks Workspace and is used in the implementation of .resolve(). A new test, test_resolve(), has been added to verify these changes, covering scenarios where the path is absolute, the path exists, the path does not exist, and the path is relative. In the case of relative paths, a NotImplementedError is raised, as .resolve() is not supported for them.
• WorkspacePath: Fix the .rename() and .replace() implementations to return the target path (#130). The .rename() and .replace() methods of the WorkspacePath class have been updated to return the target path as part of the public API, with .rename() no longer accepting the overwrite keyword argument and always failing if the target path already exists. A new private method, ._rename(), has been added to include the overwrite argument and is used by both .rename() and .replace(). This update is a preparatory step for factoring out common code to support DBFS paths. The tests have been updated accordingly, combining and adding functions to test the new and updated methods. The .unlink() method's behavior remains unchanged. Please note that the exact error raised when .rename() fails due to an existing target path is yet to be defined.
