## Release process
## Release process + checklist
### Release
## PR process
1. Ensure that all tests passed on the last CI that ran on `main`.
- [ ] Your changes should be on a branch.
- [ ] Your changes should have unit tests.
- [ ] Lint the code with `npm lint`
- [ ] Build your code with `npm build`
- [ ] Run the unit tests with `npm test`
- [ ] Get a full code review.
- [ ] Merge your branch into `main` and push to github.
- [ ] Ensure that all tests passed on the last CI that ran on `main`.
NOW WE ARE READY TO PUBLISH! No new code changes happen manually now.
## Release
2. Checkout `main` (or your beta branch) and `git pull`.
3. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>`) to capture updates that take place during this process.
4. Update `HISTORY.md` to reflect release changes.
5. Run `npm run docgen` if the docs were modified in this release to update them (skip this step for a beta).
6. Run `npm run build` to triple check the build still works
7. Run `npx lerna version --no-git-tag-version` - This creates a draft PR and bumps the versions of the packages.
* For each changed package, pick what the new version should be. Lerna will bump the versions, commit version bumps to `main`, and create a new git tag for each published package.
* If publishing a beta, make sure that the versions are all of the form `a.b.c-beta.d`, where `a`, `b`, and `c` are identical to the last normal release except for one, which has been incremented by 1.
8. Run `npm i` to update the package-lock with the updated versions
9. Create a new PR from this branch into `main` and merge it (you can directly merge into the beta branch for a beta).
10. Checkout `main` and `git pull` (you can skip this step for a beta since you already have the latest version of the beta branch).
11. Run `npx lerna publish from-package --yes` - This will actually publish the packages.
* NOTE: if you're releasing a beta, run `npx lerna publish from-package --dist-tag beta --yes` instead.
* If it asks for it, enter your [npmjs.com](https://npmjs.com) OTP (one-time password) to complete publication.
12. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>`)to capture the updated packages from the release. Merge those changes into `main`. (You can skip this step on a beta release).
1. Checkout `main` (or your beta branch) and `git pull`.
1. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>`) to capture updates that take place during this process.
1. Update `HISTORY.md` to reflect release changes.
NOW YOU HAVE PUBLISHED! But you're not done; we have to notify people!
- [ ] Update the version number and release date, and ensure it lists the changes since the previous release.
13. Pull the most recent changes to main locally.
14. Run `git tag <tagname> -m <tagname>`, where `<tagname>` is the new package and version (e.g. `xrpl@2.1.1`), for each version released.
15. Run `git push --follow-tags`, to push the tags to Github.
16. On Github, click the "releases" link on the right-hand side of the page.
17. Click "Draft a new release"
18. Click "Choose a tag", and choose a tag that you just created.
19. Edit the name of the release to match the tag (IE \<package\>@\<version\>) and edit the description as you see fit.
20. Repeat steps 17-19 for each release.
21. Send an email to [xrpl-announce](https://groups.google.com/g/xrpl-announce).
1. Run `npm run docgen` if the docs were modified in this release to update them (skip this step for a beta).
1. Run `npm run build` to triple check the build still works
1. Run `npx lerna version --no-git-tag-version` - This creates a draft PR and bumps the versions of the packages.
- For each changed package, pick what the new version should be. Lerna will bump the versions, commit version bumps to `main`, and create a new git tag for each published package.
- If publishing a beta, make sure that the versions are all of the form `a.b.c-beta.d`, where `a`, `b`, and `c` are identical to the last normal release except for one, which has been incremented by 1.
1. Run `npm i` to update the package-lock with the updated versions.
1. Create a new PR from this branch into `main` and merge it (you can directly merge into the beta branch for a beta).
1. Checkout `main` and `git pull` (you can skip this step for a beta since you already have the latest version of the beta branch).
1. Actually publish the packages with one of the following:
- Stable release: Run `npx lerna publish from-package --yes`
- Beta release: Run `npx lerna publish from-package --dist-tag beta --yes`
Notice this allows developers to install the package with `npm add xrpl@beta`
1. If requested, enter your [npmjs.com](https://npmjs.com) OTP (one-time password) to complete publication.
1. If not a beta release: Create a new branch (`git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>`) to capture the updated packages from the release. Merge those changes into `main`.
NOW YOU HAVE PUBLISHED! But you're not done; we have to notify people!
1. Pull the most recent changes to `main` locally.
1. Run `git tag <tagname> -m <tagname>`, where `<tagname>` is the new package and version (e.g. `xrpl@2.1.1`), for each version released.
1. Run `git push --follow-tags`, to push the tags to Github.
1. On GitHub, click the "Releases" link on the right-hand side of the page.
1. Repeat for each release:
1. Click "Draft a new release"
1. Click "Choose a tag", and choose a tag that you just created.
1. Edit the name of the release to match the tag (IE \<package\>@\<version\>) and edit the description as you see fit.
1. Lastly, send an email to [xrpl-announce](https://groups.google.com/g/xrpl-announce).
# ripple-lib 1.x releases
- [ ] Publish the release to npm.
- [ ] If you are publishing a 1.x release to the `xrpl` package, use:
npm publish --tag ripple-lib
This prevents the release from taking the `latest` tag.
For ripple-lib:
- Have one of the ripple-lib package maintainers push to `ripple-lib` (npm package name). You can contact [@intelliot](https://github.com/intelliot) to request the npm publish.
- For ripple-lib releases, cross-publish the package to `xrpl` with `--tag ripple-lib`
- [Here's why](https://blog.greenkeeper.io/one-simple-trick-for-javascript-package-maintainers-to-avoid-breaking-their-user-s-software-and-to-6edf06dc5617).
