CHANGELOG.md

Change Log

All notable changes to the "zowe-explorer-api" extension will be documented in this file.

TBD Release

New features and enhancements

• Added handleError and errorMessage utility functions to eliminate repetitive if (err instanceof Error) patterns across the codebase. #4207
• Added a function isEnabledInSettings to the FeatureFlags class, which checks VS Code settings to see if a given Zowe Explorer feature ID is enabled. #4242
• Added a function trimExtension in the FsDatasetsUtils class for stripping extension suffix off of a data set name. #4326

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the ZoweVsCodeExtension.workspaceRoot function getter could return a non-existent local directory. Now, invalid directory paths are ignored by Zowe Explorer and only valid paths are considered as the workspace root. #4271
• Fixed an issue where executing Unix commands could fail if the current working directory path contained certain special characters. #4330

3.5.0

New features and enhancements

• Implemented request caching capabilities for filesystem providers that extend the BaseProvider class. #3844
• Introduced a FeatureFlag class to manage experimental features via toggleable flags. #3963
• Enhanced DataSetAttributesProvider to pass raw API response attributes to extenders via the DsInfo context object. Extenders can now access the attributes field in the context to retrieve data set information without making additional API calls. #3927
• Added Name and DateCreated to Sorting.DatasetFilterOpts. #4075
• Moved the AuthHandler implementation from profiles/AuthHandler to vscode/session/AuthHandler and added a compatibility shim at the original path to preserve existing imports and API behavior for extenders. 4149

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue in the BaseProvider._handleConflict function where the editor would incorrectly close during file conflict resolution. #4162
• Fixed an issue where Gui.openFileDialog method could fail if default URL with vscode-remote scheme is provided. #4127

3.4.2

Bug fixes

• Updated Zowe SDKs to 8.30.1 for technical currency. #4079

3.4.1

• Added support for custom persistence levels for Windows (persist option) to support the credential manager in less permissive environments. For more information on how to configure this option, see the "Troubleshooting Zowe CLI credentials" on Zowe Docs. #3935
• Added a new filesystem helper function named getApiOrThrowUnavailable for generalized error handling with API access. When the given API getter fails due to a non-existing profile, an Unavailable FileSystemError is thrown with additional context on the encountered error. #3962
• Added support for downloadDirectory to the MainframeInteraction namespace. downloadDirectory is for downloading the contents of a USS directory based on a number of options and filters. #3843
• Added support for downloadAllMembers to the MainframeInteraction namespace. downloadAllMembers is for downloading all members of a PDS based on a number of options. #3843
• Added support for calling UssApi.fileList with the zosfiles.IUSSListOptions interface, which provides filters for listing USS files. #3843

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where secure credentials and headers were being logged to the Zowe logger and VSCode output channel. #3848
• Updated Zowe SDKs to version 8.28.0 to address an issue where copying a PDS member to a data set across LPARs failed. This occurred when the target PDS already contained members, but none matched the name of the PDS member being copied. #3848
• Ensure that the updateCredentials function adds the given credentials to the availableCreds cache of the Session object. #3940

3.3.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the promptForAuthentication function would throw an AuthCanceledError on invalid authentication for SSO login. #3830
• Fixed an issue where the IMvs.putContents function did not properly strip carriage returns from chunks during upload operations on Windows. Now, the function correctly converts CRLF sequences to LF, even if the sequence lands on a chunk boundary. #3853
• Fixed an issue where the vscode.workspace.fs.readFile function would return empty contents for a USS file when an error occurred while fetching the file from the mainframe, instead of displaying an error message. #3894
• Updated Zowe SDKs to version 8.27.3 to address an issue where copying a PDS member to a data set across LPARs failed. This occurred when the target PDS already contained members, but none matched the name of the PDS member being copied. #3848

• Fixed an issue where clicking the Cancel button in the Save Credentials dialog triggered a 401 error prompting to update credentials. #3713
• Resolved an issue where secure credentials were inadvertently converted to non-string data types. #3728
• Fixed an issue where the ZoweVsCodeExtension.profilesCache getter was creating new ProfilesCache instances instead of using the existing one from the Zowe Explorer API, which could lead to inconsistencies and synchronization issues. #3735
• Fixed an issue where the ProfilesCache class did not cache the ProfileInfo class instance it creates, making every call to the ProfilesCache.getProfileInfo function result in a new initialization of the ProfileInfo class. Now, the getProfileInfo function caches the new instance of the ProfileInfo class and reuses it for efficiency. #3735
• Updated Zowe SDKs to 8.26.1 for technical currency. #3696

3.2.1

• The certFile and certKeyFile are now supported fields for zosmf session/profile. #2373
• Deprecated the flipState method on the IZoweTree interface in favor of the onCollapsibleStateChange method. Implement the onCollapsibleStateChange method to receive an accurate collapsible state for the given node. #3515
• Generalized and updated the README. #3367
• Added ability to pass the OverrideWithEnv property to the imperative.ProfileInfo class when the setting "Override with Environment Variables" is enabled. When enabled, environment variables such as ZOWE_OPT_USER and ZOWE_OPT_PASSWORD take priority over properties specified in the team configuration. #3591
• Implemented the Paginator class, providing a generic facility for extenders to paginate tree nodes within their own tree views. #3585

• Fixed an issue where the onProfileUpdated event emitter was not guaranteed to be the same across Zowe Explorer and extenders, causing some event listeners to not fire when an extender fires the event emitter. Now, the event is exposed through the API register, so that all operations on this event from the ZoweVsCodeExtension class are properly routed to the correct emitter. #3622
• Resolved an issue where extenders adding ssh or base to allTypes on ProfileCache will result in duplicate nodes when adding a profile of that type in Zowe Explorer. #3625

3.1.2

New features and enhancements

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where properties of the TableViewProvider class were not accessible when the class was extended by developers. #3456
• Fixed an issue where the AuthHandler.waitForUnlock function could hang indefinitely if the profile is never unlocked. Now, as a safety measure, the function returns after a 30-second timeout. This function should be used alongside the AuthHandler.isProfileLocked function to verify that the profile is unlocked before making API requests. #3480
• Added optional encoding argument which was missing from the MainframeInteraction.IJes.getSpoolContentById method. #3504

• Breaking: Removed the following properties/methods:
  • IZoweUSSTreeNode.binaryFiles -> IZoweUSSTreeNode.encodingMap
  • IZoweUSSTreeNode.mProfileName -> IZoweUSSTreeNode.getProfileName()
  • IZoweUSSTreeNode.setBinary() -> IZoweUSSTreeNode.setEncoding()
