This is a release with significant improvements and changes. Please read through this list before you upgrade.
New features:
- Support for --checkout argument, thanks to @foobacca.
- Support for pre-generate and post-generate hooks, thanks to @raphigaziano. Hooks are Python or shell scripts that run before and/or after your project is generated.
- Support for absolute paths to cookiecutters, thanks to @krallin.
- Support for Mercurial version control system, thanks to @pokoli.
- When a cookiecutter contains invalid Jinja2 syntax, you get a better message that shows the location of the TemplateSyntaxError. Thanks to @benjixx.
- Can now prompt the user to enter values during generation from a local cookiecutter, thanks to @ThomasChiroux. This is now always the default behavior. Prompts can also be suppressed with
--no-input
. - Your cloned cookiecutters are stored by default in your ~/.cookiecutters/ directory (or Windows equivalent). The location is configurable. (This is a major change from the pre-0.7.0 behavior, where cloned cookiecutters were deleted at the end of project generation.) Thanks @raphigaziano.
- User config in a ~/.cookiecutterrc file, thanks to @raphigaziano. Configurable settings are cookiecutters_dir and default_context.
- File permissions are now preserved during project generation, thanks to @benjixx.
Bug fixes:
- Unicode issues with prompts and answers are fixed, thanks to @s-m-i-t-a.
- The test suite now runs on Windows, which was a major effort. Thanks to @pydanny, who collaborated on this with me.
Other changes:
- Quite a bit of refactoring and API changes.
- Lots of documentation improvements. Thanks @sloria, @alex, @pydanny, @freakboy3742, @es128, @rolo.
- Better naming and organization of test suite.
- A CookiecutterCleanSystemTestCase to use for unit tests affected by the user's config and cookiecutters directory.
- Improvements to the project's Makefile.
- Improvements to tests. Thanks @gperetin, @s-m-i-t-a.
- Removal of subprocess32 dependency. Now using non-context manager version of subprocess.Popen for Python 2 compatibility.
- Removal of cookiecutter's cleanup module.
- A bit of setup.py cleanup, thanks to @oubiga.
- Now depends on binaryornot 0.2.0.
- Windows support officially added.
- Fix TemplateNotFound Exception on Windows (#37).
- Fix copying of binary files in nested paths (#41), thanks to @sloria.
- Depend on Jinja2>=2.4 instead of Jinja2==2.7.
- Fix errors on attempt to render binary files. Copy them over from the project template without rendering.
- Fix Python 2.6/2.7 UnicodeDecodeError when values containing Unicode chars are in cookiecutter.json.
- Set encoding in Python 3 unicode_open() to always be utf-8.
- Improved project template finding. Now looks for the occurrence of {{,cookiecutter, and }} in a directory name.
- Fix help message for input_dir arg at command prompt.
- Minor edge cases found and corrected, as a result of improved test coverage.
- Config is now in a single
cookiecutter.json
instead of injson/
. - When you create a project from a git repo template, Cookiecutter prompts you to enter custom values for the fields defined in
cookiecutter.json
.
- Friendlier, more simplified command line usage:
# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage/ template
$ cookiecutter cookiecutter-pypackage/
# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage.git repo template
$ cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git
- Can now use Cookiecutter from Python as a package:
from cookiecutter.main import cookiecutter
# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage/ template
cookiecutter('cookiecutter-pypackage/')
# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage.git repo template
cookiecutter('https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git')
- Internal refactor to remove any code that changes the working directory.
- Only takes in one argument now: the input directory. The output directory is generated by rendering the name of the input directory.
- Output directory cannot be the same as input directory.
- Takes in command line args for the input and output directories.
- Minor cleanup.
Bumped to "Development Status :: 3 - Alpha".
- Works with any type of text file.
- Directory names and filenames can be templated.
- First release on PyPI.
