Zuplo Changelog

The ability to use the Zuplo CLI on Windows is now available in beta as of @zuplo/cli@6.51.0.

This change means that the CLI will work natively on the Windows operating system, outside of the WSL.

This release includes important improvements to error handling, and bug fixes to the GitLab integration. We've also made improvements to our project templates and development tooling.

New Features 🎉#

• Improved error messages for invalid module imports - When importing modules incorrectly in your Zuplo project, you'll now receive more helpful and descriptive error messages that make it easier to identify and fix import issues. This enhancement improves the developer experience when working with custom modules and policies.

Bug Fixes 🐛#

• Fixed virtual module namespace collisions - Resolved an issue where virtual modules could conflict with each other due to namespace collisions. Virtual modules are now properly namespaced to ensure they work reliably alongside other modules in your project.

• Fixed GitLab integration infinite loop - Corrected a critical issue where fetching from GitLab repositories could cause infinite loops under certain conditions. This fix ensures stable and reliable synchronization with your GitLab repositories when using Zuplo's source control integration.

Documentation 📚#

• Added /hello route to project template - The default project template now includes a /hello route example, making it easier for new users to understand how to create and configure routes in their Zuplo API gateway.

Other Changes 🔄#

• Zudoku template enhancements - Updated the Zudoku documentation template to properly set Zuplo flags on scripts, ensuring better integration between Zuplo and the Dev Portal.

When your API throws an error in local development, you will now see a formatted output that includes the error message and stack trace in a more readable format. This will help you quickly identify the issue and debug your application.

We have overhauled the local development logs to provide a cleaner and more useful output. The new logs make it easier to see the HTTP method, route, and status code for each request. This will help you quickly identify issues and debug your application.

The logs are now color-coded to make it easier to distinguish between different HTTP methods and errors are highlighted in red. Additionally, the logs are now formatted in a more readable way, making it easier to scan through the output.

We have made a number of improvements to the create-zuplo-api package to make it even easier to start a Zuplo API project locally. The updated package includes the following enhancements:

• Option to include ESLint and Prettier configuration files in the project
• Improved error handling and messaging
• Automatically installing dependencies after project creation

Previously, Zuplo maintained separate infrastructures for development environments (working copy) and production APIs. We have now migrated to a unified infrastructure, where development environments use the same environments as production APIs.

• Consistency: Development environments are now exactly the same as production and preview environments. This ensures that the behavior in development matches that in production, reducing the likelihood of unexpected issues after deployment.

• Global Reach: Development environments are now deployed to over 300 edge locations. This allows developers to test their changes in an environment that closely mimics the distributed nature of our production infrastructure.

• Scalability: Development environments are now fully scalable. This means that they can handle increased load when necessary, providing a more accurate representation of production performance.

• Deployment Time: The trade-off for these benefits is a slightly longer deployment time. However, we are actively working on optimizing our deployment processes to reduce this time.

We believe that the benefits of this change significantly outweigh the trade-offs, and we are excited to see how it improves our development process moving forward.
