v2.5.0-rc3

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.

Fixes and improvements

• Fixed error handling for malformatted config.toml
• Fixed ZIP packaging of Snowpark project dependencies containing implicit namespace packages like snowflake.
• Deploying function/procedure with --replace flag now copies all grants
• Fixed MFA caching
• Fixed DeprerationWarning/SyntaxWarning due to invalid escape sequences
• Improved error message in snow spcs image-registry login when docker is not installed.
• Improved detection of conflicts between artifact rules for native application projects
• Fixed URL generation for applications, streamlits, and notebooks that use a quoted identifier with spaces.

Deprecations

New additions

• Added the --cascade option to snow app teardown command that drops all application objects owned by the application.
• Add external access integration to snow object commands
• Add aliases for snow object list/describe/drop commands under:
  • snow stage for stages
  • snow git for git repository stages
  • snow streamlit for streamlit apps
  • snow snowpark for procedures and functions
  • snow spcs compute-pool for compute pools
  • snow spcs image-repository for image repositories
  • snow spcs service for services
• snow sql works now with snowflake.yml file. The variables defined in the new env section
  of snowflake.yml will be used to expand templates.
• snow sql support executing multiple files. Users can use -f/--file flag more than once to execute queries
  from many files.
• snow git execute and snow stage execute support passing input variables for SQL execution.
• Added snow cortex commands:
  • complete - Given a prompt, the command generates a response using your choice of language model.
    In the simplest use case, the prompt is a single string. You may also provide a JSON file with conversation history including multiple prompts and responses for interactive chat-style usage.
  • extract-answer - Extracts an answer to a given question from a text document.
    The document may be a plain-English document or a string representation of a semi-structured (JSON) data object.
  • sentiment - Returns sentiment as a score between -1 to 1 (with -1 being the most negative and 1 the most positive, with values around 0 neutral) for the given English-language input text.
  • summarize - Summarizes the given English-language input text.
  • translate - Translates text from the indicated or detected source language to a target language.
  • search - for integration with Cortex Search Service
• When invoked without command help is displayed by default with list of available commands.
• Add tab-completion for snow command.

Fixes and improvements

• Improved support for quoted identifiers.
• Fixed creating patches with snow app version create when there are 2 or more existing patches on a version
• Using --format=json adds trailing new line to avoid % being added by some terminals to signal no new line at the end of output.
• Fixed --interactive flag to be enabled by default in interactive environments and added the --no-interactive flag to be able to turn off prompting.
