v2.5.0-rc2

Backward incompatibility

Deprecations

New additions

• Added snow app bundle command that prepares a local folder in the project directory with artifacts to be uploaded to a stage as part of creating a Snowflake Native App.
  • Snowflake Native App projects can now optionally generate CREATE FUNCTION or CREATE PROCEDURE declarations in setup scripts from Snowpark python code that includes decorators (e.g. @ sproc, @ udf).
• Added snow app validate command that validates the setup script SQL used to create a Snowflake Native App for syntax validity, invalid object references, and best practices
  • Added new native_app.scratch_stage field to snowflake.yml schema to allow customizing the stage that the CLI uses to run the validation
• Changed snow app deploy and snow app run to trigger validation of the uploaded setup script SQL and block uploads on validation failure, pass --no-validate to disable
• Changed snow app version create --patch to require an integer patch number, aligning with what Snowflake expects
• Added snow notebook commands:
  • snow notebook execute enabling head-less execution of a notebook.
  • snow notebook create proving an option to create a Snowflake Notebook from a file on stage.
• Added templating support for project definition file.
  • Template variables can now be used anywhere in the project definition file.
• Added --default flag to snow connection add commands allowing users to mark the new connection as default.
