description	Bump dependency "@typespec/http-client-python" and release new versions for Azure/autorest.python repo. Use when user wants to bump, update, or upgrade the @typespec/http-client-python dependency, create a release PR, or publish new versions of autorest.python and typespec-python packages.

Bump and Release

Bump the "@typespec/http-client-python" dependency and create a release PR for the Azure/autorest.python repository.

Context Variables

• BASE_BRANCH: The branch to base changes on (default: "main")
• CURRENT_DATE: Current date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., "2025-01-01")

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify that npm-check-updates is available:

npx npm-check-updates --version

If the command fails or prompts for installation, install it globally:

npm install -g npm-check-updates

Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Branch

Navigate to the root folder of "Azure/autorest.python" repo.

If BASE_BRANCH is "main":

git reset HEAD && git checkout . && git checkout origin/main && git pull origin main && git checkout -b publish/release-{{CURRENT_DATE}}

If BASE_BRANCH is not "main":

git reset HEAD && git checkout . && git fetch origin {{BASE_BRANCH}} && git checkout {{BASE_BRANCH}}

Step 2: Get Latest Version and Update Dependencies

1. Get the latest VERSION of "@typespec/http-client-python" from npm:

   npm view @typespec/http-client-python version
   

2. Update the version of "@typespec/http-client-python" to ~{{VERSION}} in both files:

   • packages/autorest.python/package.json
   • packages/typespec-python/package.json

Steps 3–5: Update Dependencies (only if BASE_BRANCH is "main")

Skip Steps 3, 4, and 5 if BASE_BRANCH is not "main".

Step 3: Update Dependencies

Run npm-check-updates for packages/typespec-python/package.json:

npx npm-check-updates -u --filter @typespec/*,@azure-tools/* --packageFile packages/typespec-python/package.json

Step 4: Update peerDependencies

Update peerDependencies in packages/typespec-python/package.json:

• If format is ">=0.a.b <1.0.0": Update only the 0.a.b portion, keep the range format unchanged
• If format is "^1.a.b": Update to the latest version

Step 5: Verify devDependencies Versions for Specs

Verify devDependencies versions for specs in packages/typespec-python/package.json:

• Check @typespec/http-specs and @azure-tools/azure-http-specs
• If the original version in package.json is newer than the updated value, keep the original version
• Dev versions are typically in the form x.y.z-alpha.N-dev.M (e.g., 0.1.0-alpha.37-dev.3).

Example:

• Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 3 to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5.
• Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 3 to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 3 works as expected).
• Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2.
• Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 3 works as expected).

Step 6: Run Version Tool

Run the change version command:

pnpm change version

Verify at least 4 files are changed:

• packages/autorest.python/package.json
• packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
• packages/typespec-python/package.json
• packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md

Step 7: Check for Minor Version Bump

The version tool calculates the next version but may choose patch instead of minor incorrectly.

1. Run git diff to inspect updated CHANGELOG.md files
2. If any CHANGELOG.md contains "### Features", upgrade to minor version instead of patch version
3. Update version numbers in all 4 files:
   • packages/autorest.python/package.json
   • packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
   • packages/typespec-python/package.json
   • packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md

Step 8: Build and Stage

pnpm install && pnpm build && git add -u

Step 9: Commit and Push

git commit -m "bump version"
git push origin HEAD

Step 10: Create PR

If no existing PR exists for the current branch, create a new pull request targeting the BASE_BRANCH.
