Release checklist

This checklist should be worked through when releasing a new Serverless version.

More info about our release process can be found in the RELEASE_PROCESS.md document.

Pre-Release

  • Look through all open issues and PRs (if any) of that milestone and close them / move them to another milestone if still open
  • Look through all closed issues and PRs of that milestone to see what has changed. Run ./scripts/prs-since-last tag or if you want to run against a specific tag ./scripts/prs-since-last tag v1.20.0 to get a list of all merged PR's since a specific tag
  • Close milestone on GitHub
  • Create a new draft release in GitHub

Testing

  • Create a Serverless service (with some events), deploy and test it intensively
  • Look through the milestone and test all of the new major changes
  • Run npm test
  • Run npm run simple-integration-test
  • Run npm run complex-integration-test

Prepare Package

  • Create a new branch to bump version in package.json
  • Install the latest npm version or Docker container with latest node and npm
  • Bump version in package.json, remove node_modules folder and run npm install and npm prune --production && npm shrinkwrap
  • Look through closed PRs and update CHANGELOG.md
  • Make sure all files that need to be pushed are included in package.json -> files
  • Send PR and merge PR with new version to be released
  • Add the changes you made to CHANGELOG.md to the description of the GitHub release draft
  • Go back to branch you want to release from (e.g. master) and pull bumped version changes from GitHub
  • Make sure there are no local changes to your repository (or reset with git reset --hard HEAD)
  • Check package.json, package-lock.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json version config to make sure it fits what we want to release

Releasing

  • Publish the GitHub release draft (Travis CI will automatically publish the new release to npm)

Validate Release

  • Validate that npm install works (npm install -g serverless@<new-tag> or npm install -g serverless if latest is released)

Post-Release

  • Run ./scripts/generate-release-contributors-list <old-tag> <new-tag> and hand the generated list over to the release blog post author
