1.7.0

New Feature: Build Filters

Build filters allow you to choose explicitly which files to build instead of building entire directories.

A build filter is a combination of a package and a path, with glob syntax supported for each.

Whenever a build filter is provided, only required outputs matching one of the build filters will be built, in addition to the inputs to those outputs.

Command Line Usage

Build filters are supplied using the new --build-filter option, which accepts relative paths under the package as well as package: uris.

Glob syntax is allowed in both package names and paths.

Example: The following would build and serve the JS output for an application, as well as copy over the required SDK resources for that app:

pub run build_runner serve \
  --build-filter="web/main.dart.js" \
  --build-filter="package:build_web_compilers/**/*.js"

Build Daemon Usage

The build daemon now accepts build filters when registering a build target. If no filters are supplied these default filters are used, which is designed to match the previous behavior as closely as possible:

• <target-dir>/**
• package:*/**

Note: There is one small difference compared to the previous behavior, which is that build to source outputs from other top level directories in the root package will no longer be built when they would have before. This should have no meaningful impact other than being more efficient.

Common Use Cases

Note: For all the listed use cases it is up to the user or tool the user is using to request all the required files for the desired task. This package only provides the core building blocks for these use cases.

Testing

If you have a large number of tests but only want to run a single one you can now build just that test instead of all tests under the test directory.

This can greatly speed up iteration times in packages with lots of tests.

Example: This will build a single web test and run it:

pub run build_runner test \
  --build-filter="test/my_test.dart.browser_test.dart.js" \
  --build-filter="package:build_web_compilers/**/*.js" \
  -- -p chrome test/my_test.dart

Note: If your test requires any other generated files (css, etc) you will need to add additional filters.

Applications

This feature works as expected with the --output <dir> and the serve command. This means you can create an output directory for a single application in your package instead of all applications under the same directory.

The serve command also uses the build filters to restrict what files are available, which means it ensures if something works in serve mode it will also work when you create an output directory.

1.6.9

• Fix bugs in snapshot invalidation logic that prevented invalidation when core packages changed and always created a new snapshot on the second build.

1.6.8

• Improve the manual change detector to do a file system scan on demand instead of using a file watcher.

1.6.7

• Set the charset to utf-8 for Dart content returned by the AssetHandler.

1.6.6

• Added watch event debouncing to the daemon command to line up with the watch command. This makes things work more nicely with swap files as well as "save all" type scenarios (you will only get a single build most times).

1.6.5

• Require package:build_config ">=0.4.1 <0.4.2". Use new API that improves error information when a build configuration file is malformed.

1.4.0

• Add a run command to execute VM entrypoints with generated sources.

1.3.5

• Use the latest build_daemon.

1.3.4

• Use the latest build_config.

1.3.3

• Use HttpMultiServer.loopback for the daemon asset server.

1.3.2

• Fix an error where daemon mode would claim support for prompts when it can't actually support them and would hang instead.
• Improve logging when the daemon fails to start up, previously no logs would be shown.

1.3.1

• Remove usage of set literals to fix errors on older sdks that don't support them.

1.3.0

• Fix an issue where we might re-use stale build snapshots, which could only be resolved by deleting the .dart_tool dir (or doing a clean).
• Depend on the latest build_runner_core and build_daemon releases.

1.2.8

• Fix issue where daemon command wouldn't properly shutdown.
• Allow running when the root package, or a path dependency, is named test.

1.2.7

• Fix issue where daemon command would occasionally color a log.

1.2.6

• Prevent terminals being launched when running the daemon command on Windows.
• No longer assumeTty when logging through the daemon command.

1.2.4

• Update build_resolvers to version 1.0.0.

1.2.3

• Fix a bug where changing between --live-reload and --hot-reload might not work due to the etags for the injected JS not changing when they should.

1.2.2

• Change the format of Build Daemon messages.
• Build Daemon asset server now properly waits for build results.
• Build Daemon now properly signals the start of a build.
• Fix path issues with Daemon command under Windows.

1.1.1

Bug Fixes

• Handle re-snapshotting the build script on SDK updates.
• Suppress header for the Bootstrap logger.

1.1.0

New Features

• The build script will now be ran from snapshot, which improves startup times.
• The build script will automatically re-run itself when the build script is changed, instead of requiring the user to re-run it manually.

1.0.0

Breaking Changes

• Massive cleanup of the public api. The only thing exported from this package is now the run method. The goal is to reduce the surface area in order to stabilize this package, since it is directly depended on by all users.
  • Removed all exports from build_runner_core, if you are creating a custom build script you will need to import build_runner_core directly and add a dependency on it.
  • Stopped exporting the build and watch functions directly, as well as the ServeHandler.
  • If this has broken your use case please file an issue on the package and request that we export the api you were using previously. These will be considered on an individual basis but the bar for additional exports will be high.
• Removed support for the --[no-]assume-tty command line argument as it is no longer needed.

0.10.3

• Improve performance tracking and visualization using the timing package.
• Handle bad asset graph in the clean command.

0.10.2

• Added --hot-reload cli option and appropriate functionality.
• Removed dependency on cli_util.

0.10.1+1

• Added better error handling when a socket is already in use in serve mode.

0.10.1

• Added --live-reload cli option and appropriate functionality
• Migrated glob tracking to a specialized node type to fix dart-lang/build#1702.

0.10.0

Breaking Changes

• Implementations of BuildEnvironment must now implement the finalizeBuild method. There is a default implementation if you extend BuildEnvironment that is a no-op.
  • This method is invoked at the end of the build that allows you to do arbitrary additional work, such as creating merged output directories.
• The assumeTty argument on IOEnvironment has moved to a named argument since null is an accepted value.
• The outputMap field on BuildOptions has moved to the IOEnvironment class.

New Features/Updates

• Added a outputSymlinksOnly option to IOEnvironment constructor, that causes the merged output directories to contain only symlinks, which is much faster than copying files.
• Added the FinalizedAssetView class which provides a list of all available assets to the BuildEnvironment during the build finalization phase.
  • outputMap has moved from BuildOptions to this constructor, as a named argument.
• The OverridableEnvironment now supports overriding the new finalizeBuild api.
• The number of concurrent actions per phase is now limited (currently to 16), which should help with memory and cpu usage for large builds.

0.9.2

• Changed the default file caching logic to use an LRU cache.

0.9.1+1

• Increased the upper bound for the sdk to <3.0.0.

0.9.1

• The hash dir for the asset graph under .dart_tool/build is now based on a relative path to the build script instead of the absolute path.
  • This enables .dart_tool/build directories to be reused across different computers and directories for the same project.

0.9.0

New Features

• Added the --log-performance <dir> option which will dump performance information to <dir> after each build.
• The BuildPerformance class is now serializable, it has a fromJson constructor and a toJson instance method.
• Added support for global_options in build.yaml of the root package.
• Allow overriding the default Resolvers implementation.
• Allows building with symlinked files. Note that changes to the linked files will not trigger rebuilds in watch or serve mode.

Breaking changes

• BuildPhasePerformance.action has been replaced with BuildPhasePerformance.builderKeys.
• BuilderActionPerformance.builder has been replaced with BuilderActionPerformance.builderKey.
• BuildResult no longer has an exception or stackTrace field.
• The 'test' command through run will no longer set an exit code. All manual build scripts which call run should use the Future<int> return to set the exit code for the process.
• Dropped failOnSevere arguments and --fail-on-severe flag. Severe logs are always considered failing.
• Severe level logs now go to stdout along with other logs rather than stderr. Uncaught exceptions from the build_runner system itself still go to stderr.

Other

• Updated to the latest camel case constants from the sdk.
• Minimum sdk version is now >=2.0.0-dev.61.

0.8.10

• All builders with build_to: source will now be ran regardless of which directory is currently being built, see https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/1454 for context.
• build will now throw instead of returning a failed build result if nothing was built.
• Improve error message when a dependency has a bad build.yaml with a missing dependency.
• Sources that are not a part of a target will no longer appear in the asset graph, so they will not be readable or globbable.
• Updated the generated build script to not rely on json encode/decode for the builder options object. Instead it now directly inlines a map literal.

0.8.9

• Added support for building only specified top level directories.
  • The build, watch commands support positional arguments which are the directories to build. For example, pub run build_runner build web will only build the web directory.
  • The serve command treats positional args as it did before, except it will only build the directories you ask it to serve.
  • The test command will automatically only build the test directory.
  • If using the -o option, with the <dir-to-build>:<output-dir> syntax, then the <dir-to-build> will be added to the list of directories to build.
    • If additional directories are supplied with positional arguments, then those will also be built.
• Update to latest analyzer and build packages.
• Updated the serve logic to only serve files which were part of the actual build, and not stale assets. This brings the semantics exactly in line with what would be copied to the -o output directory.

0.8.8

• Improve search behavior on the /$graph page. Users can now query for paths and AssetID values – pkg_name|lib/pkg_name.dart.
• Commands that don't support trailing args will now appropriately fail with a usage exception.
• Fix a bug where some rebuilds would not happen after adding a new file that has outputs which were missing during the previous build.
• Fix a bug where failing actions which are no longer required can still cause the overall build to fail.

0.8.7

• Improve error handling on the /$graph page.
• Support the latest package:builde

0.8.6

• Forward default options for PostProcessBuilders in the generated build script.
• If a build appears to be not making progress (no actions completed for 15 seconds), then a warning will now be logged with the pending actions.
• Now fail when a build is requested which does not build anything.
• Clean up some error messages.

0.8.5

• Add log message for merged output errors.

0.8.4

• Log the number of completed actions on successful builds.
• Support the new isRoot field for BuilderOptions so that builders can do different things for the root package.
• Deprecated PostProcessBuilder and PostProcessBuildStep. These should be imported from package:build instead.

0.8.3

• Clean and summarize stack traces printed with --verbose.
• Added a clean command which deletes generated to source files and the entire build cache directory.
• Bug Fix: Use the same order to compute the digest of input files to a build step when writing it as when comparing it. Previously builds would not be pruned as efficiently as they can be because the inputs erroneously looked different.

0.8.2+2

• The .packages file is now always created in the root of the output directory instead of under each top level directory.

0.8.2+1

• Bug Fix: Correctly parse Window's paths with new --output semantics.

0.8.2

• Allow passing multiple --output options. Each option will be split on :. The first value will be the root input directory, the second value will be the output directory. If no delimeter is provided, all resources will be copied to the output directory.
• Allow deleting files in the post process build step.
• Bug Fix: Correctly include the default allow list when multiple targets without include are provided.
• Allow logging from within a build factory.
• Allow serving assets from successful build steps if the overall build fails.
• Add a --release flag to choose the options from release_options in build.yaml. This should replace the need to use --config pointing to a release version of build.yaml.

0.8.1

• Improved the layout of /$perf, especially after browser window resize.
• pub run build_runner exits with a error when invoked with an unsupported command.
• Bug Fix: Update outputs in merged directory for sources which are not used during the build. For example if web/index.html is not read to produce any generated outputs changes to this file will now get picked up during pub run build_runner watch --output build.
• Don't allow a thrown exception from a Builder to take down the entire build process - instead record it as a failed action. The overall build will still be marked as a failure, but it won't crash the process.

0.8.0

New Features

• Added the new PostProcessBuilder class. These are not supported in bazel, and are different than a normal Builder in some fundamental ways:
  • They don't have to declare output extensions, and can output any file as long as it doesn't conflict with an existing one. This is only checked at build time.
  • They can only read their primary input.
  • They will not cause optional actions to run - they will only run on assets that were built as a part of the normal build.
  • They can not be optional themselves, and can only output to cache.
  • Because they all run in a single phase, after other builders, none of their outputs can be used as inputs to any actions.
• Added applyPostProccess method which takes PostProcessBuilderFactorys instead of BuilderFactorys.

Breaking Changes

• BuilderApplication now has a builderActionFactories getter instead of a builderFactories getter.
• The default constructor for BuilderApplication has been replaced with BuilderApplication.forBuilder and BuilderApplication.forPostProcessBuilder.

0.7.14

• Warn when using --define or build.yaml configuration for invalid builders.

0.7.13+1

• Fix a concurrent modification error when using listAssets when an asset could be written.

0.7.13

• Fix a bug where a chain of Builders would fail to run on some outputs from previous steps when the generated asset did not match the target's sources.
• Added support for serving on IPv4 loopback when the server hostname is 'localhost' (the default).
• Added support for serving on any connection (both IPv4 and IPv6) when the hostname is 'any'.
• Improved stdout output.

0.7.12

• Added the --log-requests flag to the serve command, which will log all requests to the server.
• Build actions using findAssets will be more smartly invalidated.
• Added a warning if using serve mode but no directories were found to serve.
• The --output option now only outputs files that were required for the latest build. Previously when switching js compilers you could end up with ddc modules in your dart2js output, even though they weren't required. See https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/1033.
• The experimental create_merged_dir binary is now removed, it can't be easily supported any more and has been replaced by the --output option.
• Builders which write to source are no longer guaranteed to run before builders which write to cache.
• Honors runs_before configuration from Builder definitions.
• Honors applies_builders configuration from Builder definitions.

0.7.11+1

• Switch to use a PollingDirectoryWatcher on windows, which should fix file watching with the --output option. Follow along at https://github.com/dart-lang/watcher/issues/52 for more details.

0.7.11

• Performance tracking is now disabled by default, and you must pass the --track-performance flag to enable it.
• The heartbeat logger will now log the current number of completed versus scheduled actions, and it will log once a second instead of every 5 seconds.
• Builds will now be invalidated when the dart SDK is updated.
• Fixed the error message when missing a build_test dependency but trying to run the test command.
• The build script will now exit on changes to build.yaml files.

0.7.10+1

• Fix bug where relative imports in a dependencies build.yaml would break all downstream users, https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/995.

0.7.10

New Features

• Added a basic performance visualization. When running with serve you can now navigate to /$perf and get a timeline of all actions. If you are experiencing slow builds (especially incremental ones), you can save the html of that page and attach it to bug reports!

Bug Fixes

• When using --output we will only clean up files we know we previously output to the specified directory. This should allow running long lived processes such as servers in that directory (as long as they don't hold open file handles).

0.7.9+2

• Fixed a bug with build to source and watch mode that would result in an infinite build loop, #962.

0.7.9+1

• Support the latest analyzer package.

0.7.9

New Features

• Added command line args to override config for builders globally. The format is --define "<builder_key>=<option>=<value>". As an example, enabling the dart2js compiler for the build_web_compilers|entrypoint builder would look like this: --define "build_web_compilers|entrypoint=compiler=dart2js".

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with mixed mode builds, see https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/924.
• Fixed some issues with exit codes and --fail-on-severe, although there are still some outstanding problems. See https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/910 for status updates.
• Fixed an issue where the process would hang on exceptions, see https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/883.
• Fixed an issue with etags not getting updated for source files that weren't inputs to any build actions, https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/894.
• Fixed an issue with hidden .DS_Store files on mac in the generated directory, https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/902.
• Fixed test output so it will use the compact reporter, https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/821.

0.7.8

• Add --config option to use a different build.yaml at build time.

0.7.7+1

• Avoid watching hosted dependencies for file changes.

0.7.7

• The top level run method now returns an int which represents an exitCode for the command that was executed.
  • For now we still set the exitCode manually as well but this will likely change in the next breaking release. In manual scripts you should await the call to run and assign that to exitCode to be future-proofed.

0.7.6

• Update to package:build version 0.12.0.
• Removed the DigestAssetReader interface, the digest method has now moved to the core AssetReader interface. We are treating this as a non-breaking change because there are no known users of this interface.

0.7.5+1

• Bug fix for using the --output flag when you have no test directory.

0.7.5

• Add more human friendly duration printing.
• Added the --output <dir> (or -o) argument which will create a merged output directory after each build.
• Added the --verbose (or -v) flag which enables verbose logging.
  • Disables stack trace folding and terse stack traces.
  • Disables the overwriting of previous info logs.
  • Sets the default log level to Level.ALL.
• Added pubspec.yaml and pubspec.lock to the allow list for the root package sources.

0.7.4

• Allows using files in any build targets in the root package as sources if they fall outside the hardcoded allow list.
• Changes to the root .packages file during watch mode will now cause the build script to exit and prompt the user to restart the build.

0.7.3

• Added the flag --low-resources-mode, which defaults to false.

0.7.2

• Added the flag --fail-on-severe, which defaults to false. In a future version this will default to true, which means that logging a message via log.severe will fail the build instead of just printing to the terminal. This would match the current behavior in bazel_codegen.
• Added the test command to the build_runner binary.

0.7.1+1

• BUG FIX: Running the build_runner binary without arguments no longer causes a crash saying Could not find an option named "assume-tty"..

0.7.1

• Run Builders which write to the source tree before those which write to the build cache.

0.7.0

New Features

• Added toRoot Package filter.
• Actions are now invalidated at a fine grained level when BuilderOptions change.
• Added magic placeholder files in all packages, which can be used when your builder doesn't have a clear primary input file.
  • For non-root packages the placeholder exists at lib/$lib$, you should declare your buildExtensions like this {r'$lib$': 'my_output_file.txt'}, which would result in an output file at lib/my_output_file.txt in the package.
  • For the root package there are also placeholders at web/$web$ and test/$test$ which should cover most use cases. Please file an issue if you need additional placeholders.
  • Note that these placeholders are not real assets and attempting to read them will result in an AssetNotFoundException.

Breaking Changes

• Removed BuildAction. Changed build and watch to take a List<BuilderApplication>. See apply and applyToRoot to set these up.
• Changed apply to take a single String argument - a Builder key from package:build_config rather than a separate package and builder name.
• Changed the default value of hideOutput from false to true for apply. With applyToRoot the value remains false.
• There is now a allow list of top level directories that will be used as a part of the build, and other files will be ignored. For now those directories include 'benchmark', 'bin', 'example', 'lib', 'test', 'tool', and 'web'.
  • If this breaks your workflow please file an issue and we can look at either adding additional directories or making the list configurable per project.
• Remove PackageGraph.orderedPackages and PackageGraph.dependentsOf.
• Remove writeToCache argument of build and watch. Each apply call should specify hideOutput to keep this behavior.
• Removed PackageBuilder and PackageBuildActions classes. Use the new magic placeholder files instead (see new features section for this release).

The following changes are technically breaking but should not impact most clients:

• Upgrade to build_barback v0.5.0 which uses strong mode analysis and no longer analyzes method bodies.
• Removed dependencyType, version, includes, and excludes from PackageNode.
• Removed PackageNode.noPubspec constructor.
• Removed InputSet.
• PackageGraph instances enforce that the root node is the only node with isRoot == true.

0.6.1

New Features

• Add an enableLowResourcesMode option to build and watch, which will consume less memory at the cost of slower builds. This is intended for use in resource constrained environments such as Travis.
• Add createBuildActions. After finding a list of Builders to run, and defining which packages need them applied, use this tool to apply them in the correct order across the package graph.

Deprecations

• Deprecate PackageGraph.orderedPackages and PackageGraph.dependentsOf.

Internal Improvements

• Outputs will no longer be rebuilt unless their inputs actually changed, previously if any transtive dependency changed they would be invalidated.
• Switched to using semantic analyzer summaries, this combined with the better input validation means that, ddc/summary builds are much faster on non-api affecting edits (dependent modules will no longer be rebuilt).
• Build script invalidation is now much faster, which speeds up all builds.

Bug Fixes

• The build actions are now checked against the previous builds actions, and if they do not match then a full build is performed. Previously the behavior in this case was undefined.
• Fixed an issue where once an edge between an output and an input was created it was never removed, causing extra builds to happen that weren't necessary.
• Build actions are now checked for overlapping outputs in non-checked mode, previously this was only an assert.
• Fixed an issue where nodes could get in an inconsistent state for short periods of time, leading to various errors.
• Fixed an issue on windows where incremental builds didn't work.

0.6.0+1

Internal Improvements

• Now using package:pool to limit the number of open file handles.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the asset graph could get in an invalid state if you aren't setting writeToCache: true.

0.6.0

New features

• Added orderedPackages and dependentsOf utilities to PackageGraph.
• Added the noPubspec constructor to PackageNode.
• Added the PackageBuilder and PackageBuildAction classes. These builders only run once per package, and have no primary input. Outputs must be well known ahead of time and are declared with the Iterable<String> get outputs field, which returns relative paths under the current package.
• Added the isOptional field to BuildAction. Setting this to true means that the action will not run unless some other non-optional action tries to read one of the outputs of the action.
• Breaking: PackageNode.location has become PackageNode.path, and is now a String (absolute path) instead of a Uri; this prevents needing conversions to/from Uri across the package.
• Breaking: RunnerAssetReader interface requires you to implement MultiPackageAssetReader and DigestAssetReader. This means the packageName named argument has changed to package, and you have to add the Future<Digest> digest(AssetId id) method. While technically breaking most users do not rely on this interface explicitly.
  • You also no longer have to implement the Future<DateTime> lastModified(AssetId id) method, as it has been replaced with the DigestAssetReader interface.
• Breaking: ServeHandler.handle has been replaced with Handler ServeHandler.handleFor(String rootDir). This allows you to create separate handlers per directory you want to serve, which maintains pub serve conventions and allows interoperation with pub run test --pub-serve=$PORT.

Bug fixes

• Breaking: All AssetReader#findAssets implementations now return a Stream<AssetId> to match the latest build package. This should not affect most users unless you are extending the built in AssetReaders or using them in a custom way.
• Fixed an issue where findAssets could return declared outputs from previous phases that did not actually output the asset.
• Fixed two issues with writeToCache:
  • Over-declared outputs will no longer attempt to build on each startup.
  • Unrecognized files in the cache dir will no longer be treated as inputs.
• Asset invalidation has changed from using last modified timestamps to content hashes. This is generally much more reliable, and unblocks other desired features.

Internal changes

• Added PackageGraphWatcher and PackageNodeWatcher as a wrapper API, including an AssetChange class that is now consistently used across the package.

0.5.0

• Breaking: Removed buildType field from BuildResult.
• Breaking: watch now returns a ServeHandler instead of a Stream<BuildResult>. Use ServeHandler.buildResults to get back to the original stream.
• Breaking: serve has been removed. Instead use watch and use the resulting ServeHandler.handle method along with a server created in the client script to start a server.
• Prevent reads into .dart_tool for more hermetic builds.
• Bug Fix: Rebuild entire asset graph if the build script changes.
• Add writeToCache argument to build and watch which separates generated files from the source directory and allows running builders against other packages.
• Allow the latest version of package:shelf.

0.4.0+3

• Bug fix: Don't try to delete files generated for other packages.

0.4.0+2

• Bug fix: Don't crash after a Builder reads a file from another package.

0.4.0+1

• Depend on build 0.10.x and build_barback 0.4.x

0.4.0

• Breaking: The PhaseGroup class has been replaced with a List<BuildAction> in build, watch, and serve. The PhaseGroup and Phase classes are removed. If your current build has multiple actions in a single phase which are depending on not seeing the outputs from other actions in the phase you will need to instead set up the InputSets so that the outputs are filtered out.
• Breaking: The resolvers argument has been removed from build, watch, and serve.
• Allow package:build v0.10.x

0.3.4+1

• Support the latest release of build_barback.

0.3.4

• Support the latest release of analyzer.

0.3.2

• Support for build 0.9.0

0.3.1+1

• Bug Fix: Update AssetGraph version so builds can be run without manually deleting old build directory.
• Bug Fix: Check for unreadable assets in an async method rather than throw synchronously

0.3.1

• Internal refactoring of RunnerAssetReader.
• Support for build 0.8.0
• Add findAssets on AssetReader implementations
• Limit Asset reads to those which were available at the start of the phase. This might cause some reads which uses to succeed to fail.

0.3.0

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a race condition bug 175 that could cause invalid output errors.

Breaking Changes

• RunnerAssetWriter now requires an additional field, onDelete which is a callback that must be called synchronously within delete.

0.2.0

Add support for the new bytes apis in build.

New Features

• FileBasedAssetReader and FileBasedAssetWriter now support reading/writing as bytes.

Breaking Changes

• Removed the AssetCache, CachedAssetReader, and CachedAssetWriter. These may come back at a later time if deemed necessary, but for now they just complicate things unnecessarily without proven benefits.
• BuildResult#outputs now has a type of List<AssetId> instead of List<Asset>, since the Asset class no longer exists. Additionally this was wasting memory by keeping all output contents around when it's not generally a very useful thing outside of tests (which retain this information in other ways).

0.0.1

• Initial separate release - split off from build package.
