cannot set the release version after the recent update

[alireza-moayyedi]

Before the last update (v13.0.0) I was able to set the release version simply by: Balena.models.release.set_release_version(release_id, my_release_version) Looking at the recent changes, I could not find the same functionality. I would be thankful if you could tell me how I can achieve the same functionality now?

Directly setting the release with an argument like balena deploy --release-version 1.2.3 would also be nice.

The reason we're using the api in the first place is to workaround this missing argument.

Ahhh I just stumbled across the same issue which now breaks our workflow.

Would be very nice if we can get this working again!

Hello, I am looking into it and will update shortly

[otaviojacobi]

Hello @MCFurry @Timple and @alireza-moayyedi This was caused by node api also not having it and I mistakenly erasing it from here. The PR with the fix is open: #329 and once CI passes I will merge and the function will be back up. I will also update node-sdk to contain it for compability reasons.

Just if it is interesting for you, the balena-python-sdk now allows you to use inner pine query, which means you can achieve this result using the generic pine, so something like:

balena.pine.patch(
   {
     "resource": "release",
     "id": release_id, 
     "body": {
            "semver": my_semver
      }
})

Would also have done the trick. Nevertheless the 13.0.1 version with this fix should be released in a few minutes, thanks for opening the issue and do not hesitate if you have more problems with the sdk.

Thanks for the fast update!

Where would I need to put the feature request for the commandline option to set it directly? :slightly_smiling_face:

[otaviojacobi]

Hello @Timple for feature request I would recommend https://roadmap.balena.io/ or if you want to reach CLI directly an issue here: https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli

Once node-sdk has this same feature (I will work on it starting today) we can check if this should be added on the CLI aswell

[otaviojacobi]

Hello, #329 was merged and published and the fix should now be live in balena-sdk v13.0.1 I also tested locally with this version and everything looks to be working as expected. Please feel free to reopen in case this issue persists for any of you.

[MCFurry]

Thanks for the quick update! Seems to be fine now indeed!
