Overview

Publishing was spread across six numbered workflows chained by workflow_run, each passing state to the next through bot commits. This replaces them with a single release.yml that handles both the insider and the stable channel, plus check_for_prisma_update.yml that dispatches it.

Changes

Deleted1_check_for_updates.yml, 1_2_bump_extension_only.yml, 1_2_stable_extension_release.yml, 2_bump_versions.yml, 3_LS_tests_publish.yml, 4_e2e_tests.yml, 5_build.yml, 6_publish.yml.

.github/workflows/release.yml — five jobs:

plan → test (ubuntu/macos/windows) → publish-language-server
                                   → package → publish-marketplace
                                              → publish-open-vsx

Triggered by a push to main (insider), by manual dispatch (either channel, optional Prisma CLI bump, optional ref for x.y.x patch branches), or by check_for_prisma_update.yml.

scripts/next_extension_version.mjs — derives the next version from the git release tags (x.y.z for stable, insider/x.y.z for insider, one shared monotonic counter) rather than from a committed version file. On stable, an auto bump mirrors the Prisma CLI release being shipped: x.0.0 → major, x.y.0 → minor, otherwise patch. Covered by scripts/__tests__/next-extension-version.test.mjs (13 tests).

.github/workflows/check_for_prisma_update.yml — records new prisma@dev / @latest / @patch-dev versions in scripts/versions/ and dispatches release.yml for each channel that changed. The cron trigger is commented out while ORM iteration is paused; dispatch it manually.

docs/ci-cd.md — rewritten for the new pipeline.

Why

  • No version-bump commits. Deriving the version from tags removes the [skip ci] bump extension version… commits the old chain needed to carry state.
  • One resolved commit. The plan job outputs a SHA that every later job checks out, so nothing is passed between jobs through pushed commits.
  • One build. package builds the .vsix once; the GitHub release and both marketplaces use that same artifact.
  • Insider GitHub releases are marked as pre-releases, so "latest release" always points at a stable version.

Scope

CI configuration and release scripting only. No extension or language server behaviour changes.

The scripts the old chain left unreferenced are removed here too: bump_extension_version.mjs, is_minor_or_major_release.mjs, get_tag_name.mjs, commit_and_push.sh, setup_branch.sh, versions/extension_latest, and the unused writeToVersionFile in util.mjs. The __tests__ directory also carried Jest-era .js copies of every .mjs test; the vitest config matches **/__tests__/**/*.test.mjs, so those copies never ran and are removed. README badges, docs/architecture.md and packages/vscode/CONTRIBUTING.md were pointing at workflow files that no longer exist and now point at the current ones.

Verification

The scripts suite passes (16/16, npx vitest run --config scripts/vitest.config.mjs), and both workflow files parse as YAML. The workflows themselves cannot be exercised until they are on main; the first insider release after merge is the real test.

Semgrep's run-shell-injection findings on the first push are addressed: every value a run: script uses is now bound to an env var and referenced as "$VAR" rather than interpolated as ${{ ... }}. The same treatment is applied to the npm versions dispatched by check_for_prisma_update.yml and to the two marketplace tokens — vsce and ovsx read VSCE_PAT and OVSX_PAT from the environment, so the tokens no longer appear on a command line.

The six numbered workflows chained by workflow_run and passed state
between each other through bot commits. Publishing now happens in one
workflow, release.yml, for both the insider and the stable channel:
plan -> test -> publish-language-server / package -> marketplaces.

The next extension version is derived from the git release tags (x.y.z
for stable, insider/x.y.z for insider, one shared counter) instead of a
committed version file, so a release no longer creates version-bump
commits. The plan job resolves one commit SHA that every later job
checks out, and the vsix is built once and passed on as a workflow
artifact.

check_for_prisma_update.yml replaces 1_check_for_updates.yml: it records
new Prisma CLI versions and dispatches release.yml per channel. Its cron
trigger stays commented out while ORM iteration is paused.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Consolidated insider and stable extension releases into a unified release pipeline.
    • Added automated publishing for the language server, VS Code Marketplace, and Open VSX.
    • Added release planning based on Git tags and Prisma CLI updates.
    • Added cross-platform testing before publishing.
  • Documentation

    • Updated release, CI/CD, architecture, and contribution instructions for the unified workflow.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for release version planning, version bump types, and channel behavior.

Walkthrough

The change replaces the numbered release workflow chain with one release.yml pipeline. The pipeline plans versions, tests packages, publishes the language server, builds the VSIX, and publishes it to both extension registries. A new workflow detects Prisma CLI updates and dispatches releases for affected channels. New utilities calculate release metadata from Git tags and release inputs. Tests cover version selection, bump rules, and release plans. CI/CD documentation now describes the unified process.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 31f60

The unified release pipeline can expose publishing privileges to code from a selected ref and can advance release state before every registry publication succeeds. These issues could permit unauthorized mutations or leave incomplete, non-retryable releases, so they should be resolved before merge.

In @.github/workflows/check_for_prisma_update.yml:
- Around line 56-60: Move the version-file writes and durable commit in the
Prisma update workflow so each channel is recorded only after its corresponding
release workflow completes successfully; ensure dispatch or release failures
leave the previous version intact so the next check retries it. Use the existing
channel-specific version symbols and release completion flow around the dispatch
logic as the integration points.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 56-57: Set the workflow-level permissions to read-only, then add
job-specific permissions: grant contents: write only to the release-creation job
and id-token: write only to publish-language-server, preserving any required
read permissions for other jobs.
- Line 88: Prevent shell injection in the release workflow by moving free-text
GitHub inputs into step environment variables and referencing only quoted shell
variables. Update .github/workflows/release.yml lines 88-88 to use an env-backed
REF, lines 113-113 to env-back channel, bump, and prisma_version, and lines
122-124 to reuse those variables for dependency updates and the commit message.
- Line 236: Update the release workflow around gh release create and the
publish-marketplace/publish-open-vsx jobs so a marketplace failure preserves
retry state for the planned version instead of treating the existing GitHub
release as the latest completed version; alternatively, defer finalizing the tag
and GitHub release until both idempotent marketplace publications succeed.

In `@scripts/next_extension_version.mjs`:
- Around line 41-46: Update releaseType to validate prismaVersion with
semVer.parse before deriving the bump, rejecting invalid and prerelease versions
for stable releases; only valid stable versions should proceed to the existing
major/minor/patch logic.

Semgrep (yaml.github-actions.security.run-shell-injection) flagged three
steps in release.yml that interpolated `${{ github.* }}` and `${{ inputs.* }}`
directly into `run:` scripts, where a crafted dispatch input could inject
shell code into the runner.

Every value a run script needs is now bound to an env var on the step or
job and referenced as "$VAR". The same treatment is applied to the npm
versions dispatched by check_for_prisma_update.yml, which come from the
registry, and to the two marketplace tokens: vsce and ovsx read VSCE_PAT
and OVSX_PAT from the environment, so the tokens no longer appear on a
command line.

Nothing references these any more now that release.yml derives the
version from the git tags:

- bump_extension_version.mjs and versions/extension_latest, replaced by
  next_extension_version.mjs
- is_minor_or_major_release.mjs, get_tag_name.mjs, commit_and_push.sh and
  setup_branch.sh, which only the deleted numbered workflows called
- util.mjs writeToVersionFile, whose only caller was
  bump_extension_version.mjs

The __tests__ directory also carried Jest-era .js copies of every .mjs
test. The vitest config matches **/__tests__/**/*.test.mjs, so those
copies never ran; they are removed along with the extension-version tests
covering the deleted bump script.

README build badges, docs/architecture.md and packages/vscode/CONTRIBUTING.md
pointed at workflow files that no longer exist and now point at release.yml,
check_for_prisma_update.yml and continuous-integration.yml.

@SevInf SevInf added this to the 8.0.0 milestone Sep 3, 2026
Two review findings.

The workflow granted every job contents: write and id-token: write, so the
test and dependency-install steps ran with release-write capability and
could request OIDC tokens. The workflow default is now contents: read;
plan gets contents: write for the dependency-bump commit and the stable
branch reset, package gets contents: write to create the tag and GitHub
release, and publish-language-server gets id-token: write for npm Trusted
Publishers. test and both marketplace jobs inherit read.

releaseType split the Prisma CLI version as a raw string, so 'invalid.0.0'
derived a major bump and a prerelease silently fell through to a patch.
It now parses the version with semVer.parse and rejects both invalid and
prerelease versions on the stable channel, whatever the bump. The check
runs in the plan job before the stable branch is reset, so a bad input
fails the release rather than leaving stable force-pushed.

The prerelease error message exceeded the print width. util.mjs had a
trailing blank line that already failed prettier --check on main; it is
fixed here since the file is touched by this branch anyway.

Three hardening changes from review.

The plan job now rejects any ref other than main, stable or an x.y.x patch
branch, so a manual dispatch can no longer release an arbitrary revision.

The package job no longer holds contents: write. It builds the vsix and
uploads it as before; a new release job downloads that artifact and creates
the tag and GitHub release with nothing else in it — no checkout, no
install, no build. The marketplace jobs now gate on release, so the
publishing order is unchanged.

Every checkout except the plan job's sets persist-credentials: false. Only
plan performs git operations, so the test, build and publish jobs no longer
have a git credential in their local config while running dependency code.
