A tool to aide upgrades of plugins to new aiida-core versions

Usage

To use the command line tool, it is recommended to install via pipx:

$ pipx install aiida-upgrade

Once installed, you can simply run aiida-upgrade on any PATH, which can be a single file or a directory:

$ aiida-upgrade --help
Usage: aiida-upgrade [OPTIONS] PATH

  The command line interface of aiida-upgrade.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

In case PATH is a directory, aiida-upgrade will recursively update all .py files inside that directory.

Supported migrations

Currently, aiida-upgrade performs the following code refactoring:

• Look for deprecated aiida-core entry points loaded by plugin factories and add the core. prefix, see the corresponding section in the plugin migration guide.
• Similarly, find and correct full deprecated entry point strings e.g. 'aiida.data:structure'.
• Remove dict and list keywords from the Dict and List node constructors, respectively. See PR #5165 on aiida-core, which removed the requirement of using these keywords.

Migration steps that are not (yet) supported are:

• Adding the core. prefix in shell scripts.
• Update 'name' to 'label' when querying for a Computer with the QueryBuilder.
• Small changes in the API of Transport and Scheduler plugins.
• Removal of the PluginTestCase class.

If you find any problems with the current refactoring, or any migration steps that are missing, please let us know by opening an issue.
