DevNotes_Processeses_ReleaseAutomationScript

Release automation script (work in progress)

Release automation script is located in build_tools and covers following

• Setups init and license files
• Generates zenodo doi and writes to the init file
• Templates release notes

Running script

• cd SASVIEW_WORKSPACE (folder where you have both sasview and sasmodels folders)
• create release branches in sasview and sasmodels (script will write to these folders and you probably want to make pull requests out of them)
• Run python sasview/build_tools/release_automation.py with arguments
  • -v sasview version e.g. -v 5.0.4
  • -s sasmodels version e.g. -s 1.0.4
  • -z zenodo api key (long string not shared here obviously)
  • -u your github username (it is required for preparing release notes as otherwise github rejects if too many requests are made)
  • -p password for github user (for the same reason as above)
