[feature] Automated follow-up alpha version bump PRs - #756
Conversation
Added a releaser step that creates a follow-up pull request after a feature release. The pull request sets the next compatible version to alpha and creates a new unreleased changelog section.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe releaser now supports resumable releases from pull request URLs and reuses existing tags and releases when possible. Python and npm feature releases can create next-minor alpha pull requests. Version handlers validate prerelease support by package type. Shared Git helpers handle retries, skips, aborts, remote branch lookup, and upstream tracking. The CLI validates resume arguments. Documentation and tests cover the new workflows. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new release workflow can publish incomplete artifacts, omit intended version or changelog changes, or fail to reuse existing pull requests. These issues should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@openwisp_utils/releaser/release.py`:
- Around line 294-297: Update the cleanup logic around the original_branch
checkout so uncommitted version and changelog changes from the alpha bump are
not discarded or masked by a checkout failure. Detect checkout failure and
provide explicit recovery instructions, or retain the bump branch when work is
uncommitted; ensure the original recovery message remains visible instead of
being replaced by CalledProcessError.
- Line 233: Update the release flow around get_remote_branch_commit to catch
subprocess CalledProcessError alongside SkipSignal and AbortSignal, then route
it through the existing interactive Git error handling so the user can retry,
skip, or abort instead of receiving a traceback. Add coverage for a remote
lookup failure with a non-2 exit code.
Apply the same fix in `@openwisp_utils/releaser/utils.py` around lines 146 - 148:
The same uncaught remote lookup failure occurs in the alpha-bump path.
In `@openwisp_utils/releaser/version.py`:
- Line 72: Update bump_version to validate new_version as an unsuffixed numeric
X.Y.Z value before dispatching to the Python or npm handlers, rejecting
prerelease suffixes with a clear user-facing validation error. Ensure both
handlers receive only the validated base version and add regression coverage for
Python and npm prerelease inputs.

Python subprocess.run timeout parameter TimeoutExpired official documentation
💡 Result:
In Python, the subprocess.run function accepts an optional timeout parameter, which specifies the maximum time in seconds the function should wait for the child process to complete [1][2]. When a timeout is provided: 1. It is internally passed to Popen.communicate [1][2]. 2. If the process does not terminate within the specified time, the child process is killed and waited for [1]. 3. After the process has terminated, a TimeoutExpired exception is raised [1][2]. Important considerations noted in the official documentation: - The TimeoutExpired exception contains attributes that may be useful for debugging or recovering output, including cmd, output, stdout, stderr, and timeout [3]. - Process creation delay: Because the initial creation of a process cannot be interrupted on many platform APIs, you are not guaranteed to see a TimeoutExpired exception until after the time required for process creation has elapsed [1][2]. - Extremely small timeouts: Setting very small timeout values (such as a few milliseconds) may lead to nearly immediate TimeoutExpired exceptions due to the inherent time required for system scheduling and process creation [1]. The TimeoutExpired exception was added to the subprocess module in Python 3.3 [4][5].

Bound Git commands and recover from timeouts.
run_git calls subprocess.run without a timeout, so a stalled pull, push, or ls-remote can block the release flow before the Retry/Skip/Abort prompt appears.
Add a configurable timeout and handle subprocess.TimeoutExpired through the same recovery flow. Add a mocked timeout case in openwisp_utils/releaser/tests/test_utils.py.

Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification numeric identifiers ASCII digits 0-9
💡 Result:
Under the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification, numeric identifiers are defined using ASCII digits 0-9 [1][2]. Specifically, a numeric identifier is defined as a non-negative integer that does not include leading zeroes [1]. According to the formal grammar provided in the specification, a numeric identifier is either the single digit "0" or a sequence starting with a positive digit (1-9) followed by zero or more digits (0-9) [1][2]: ::= "0" | | The components are defined as: - ::= "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" - ::= | - ::= "0" | This structure ensures that any numeric identifier consisting of more than one digit cannot begin with "0", as "01", "02", etc., are prohibited [1][3]. However, a single "0" is a valid numeric identifier [1]. In the context of pre-release versions, where numeric identifiers are used, this rule applies strictly to ensure consistent numeric comparison [1][4].

Reject non-ASCII digits in release versions.
Python \d accepts Arabic-Indic and full-width digits. These inputs can pass bump_version, but _bump_python_version then writes Python numeric literals that do not parse. _bump_npm_version writes versions that do not conform to SemVer.
Use [0-9] or re.ASCII. Add regression cases for both digit sets.

both the version file and changelog_path, ensuring newly created changelog files
are staged instead of relying on run_git(["add", "-u"]). Preserve staging only
the expected release artifacts.
- Around line 289-295: Update the SkipSignal/AbortSignal handler around the
checkout -B operation to distinguish failures before bump_branch is created from
failures after branch creation. For pre-creation failures, report that no
version change occurred and provide the appropriate recovery action instead of
instructing the user to complete the bump on bump_branch; retain the existing
bump_branch guidance only when that branch and version change exist.
- Line 258: Update bump_to_next_alpha around the bump_version call to check its
boolean result and abort immediately when no version file is updated; only
proceed with changelog updates and pull-request creation after a successful
version bump.

🌐 Web query:
Python argparse two optional positional arguments nargs="?" assignment order
💡 Result:
In Python's argparse, when multiple positional arguments are defined with nargs='?', the parser assigns command-line values to them in the order in which the arguments were defined [1][2]. Because nargs='?' makes a positional argument optional, the parser attempts to consume available command-line values greedily as it processes them in the defined order [3][4]. This behavior often leads to unexpected results if the user intends for later positional arguments to be populated while skipping earlier ones [4]. Key technical considerations include: Greedy Consumption: The parser does not perform complex backtracking to determine the "correct" assignment if multiple interpretations are possible [5]. If an argument defined earlier in the script has nargs='?', it will consume the first available positional value, potentially "stealing" an argument intended for a subsequent positional parameter [4]. Order Sensitivity: Positional arguments are assigned sequentially based on their definition order [1][2]. For example, if you define parser.add_argument('A', nargs='?') followed by parser.add_argument('B', nargs='?'), an input of ['val'] will assign 'val' to A, leaving B with its default value [1][4]. Ambiguity with Optional Flags: Mixing positional arguments that use nargs='?' with optional flags (e.g., --flag) can create significant parsing ambiguity [5]. The parser may misinterpret a flag or its value as a positional argument [3][2]. Recommended Best Practices: Use Clearer Definitions: If you must have multiple optional positional arguments, ensure their usage is unambiguous or use them only at the end of the argument list [4]. Use -- for Separation: You can use the -- separator on the command line to explicitly tell the parser that all subsequent tokens should be treated as positional arguments, helping to resolve ambiguities [6][7]. Consider Alternative Structures: If the logic requires complex optionality, consider using flagged optional arguments instead of positional ones, as they are not restricted by strict positional order and are less prone to consumption conflicts [5][4]. Parse Intermixed Arguments: For specific use cases involving flags intermixed with positionals, Python 3.7+ provides the parse_intermixed_args method, which can help resolve some ordering issues [3].

Remove the unreachable validation branch. argparse assigns the first positional value to command and rejects values other than "resume" through choices; therefore, after parsing succeeds, args.command is None implies args.pr_url is also None. The parser.error call at line 16 is redundant.

🌐 Web query:
GitHub REST API List pull requests for a repository pagination per_page maximum 100 page
💡 Result:
The GitHub REST API endpoint for listing pull requests supports pagination using the per_page and page query parameters [1][2]. Key details regarding pagination: per_page: This parameter controls the number of results returned per page [3][4]. The maximum allowed value for per_page is 100 [1][2]. The default value is 30 [1][2]. If you specify a value greater than 100, the API will automatically reduce it to the maximum of 100 without returning an error [3][4]. page: This parameter specifies the page number of the results to fetch, with a default value of 1 [1][2]. To retrieve all pull requests, you should iterate through the pages using the link header provided in the API response [3][4]. The link header contains URLs for subsequent pages, which the API client can use to continue fetching data until all items have been retrieved [3][4]. Alternatively, many API libraries (such as Octokit) provide helper methods to automatically handle this pagination [3][4].

Paginate GitHub.find_pr results.
find_pr scans only the first 100 results and returns None when no match is found there. The release workflow then reaches gh.create_pr, so it may not reuse a matching pull request on a later page. Traverse page values or follow GitHub’s Link header until all results are checked. Add a test with 100 non-matching results on page one and a match on page two.

Push the tag when it exists only locally.
tag_exists_on_branch inspects local refs only. It runs git rev-parse and git merge-base --is-ancestor, so it returns True for a tag that was created locally but never pushed.
A previous run can be interrupted between the git tag call at Line 114 and the git push origin <tag> call at Line 115. That is exactly the state that resume must recover. In that state this branch skips both tag creation and the tag push, so origin never receives the tag, and gh.create_release then creates a release for a tag that does not exist on the remote.
Verify the remote tag and push it when it is missing.

Add tests for the remaining GitHub client branches.
Cover invalid get_pr URLs, a valid trailing-slash URL, a successful get_release, and a duplicate release when get_release returns None. Assert that invalid URLs do not call retryable_request and that the duplicate case raises HTTPError.

Assert on the tag subcommand. The fixture fixes datetime.now() at 2025-08-11, so a regressed tag creation uses 11-08-2025, not 02-09-2026; the current assertion still passes. Check call.args[0][0] and assert that "tag" is absent. This adds the required regression guard; the current release-artifact code already skips tag creation when tag_exists_on_branch is true.

Update the docstring for the new allowed-status behavior.
The docstring states that the function provides a retry/skip/abort prompt on failure. With allowed_status_codes, matching error responses now return without any prompt. Document the parameter so callers know that they must inspect response.status_code.
