Release v0.8.0 notes

Newest release brings small addition to how actions are run. Consider following scenario when you want to create database and assign owner. Normally action is defined as follows:

action "db" "create" {
  arguments {
    arg "name" {
      description = "Database name"
    }

    arg "user" {
      description = "Database user"
    }
  }

  sql = "CREATE DATABASE {{ .Args.name  }} OWNER {{ .Args.user }}"
}

Run action:

krab action db create -name animals -user api

This will fail with CREATE DATABASE cannot run inside a transaction block SQL state: 25001.

Actions can accept transaction attribute that determines how action is run. New action would take the following form:

action "db" "create" {
  arguments {
    arg "name" {
      description = "Database name"
    }

    arg "user" {
      description = "Database user"
    }
  }

  transaction = false
  sql         = "CREATE DATABASE {{ .Args.name  }} OWNER {{ .Args.user }}"
}

transaction = false will disable transaction (similiary how migrations can be run) and action should run without an error.
