Upgrading to Waypoint 0.3.0 from 0.2.x

Warning

This content is part of the legacy version of Waypoint that is no longer actively maintained. For additional information on the new vision of Waypoint, check out this blog post and the HCP Waypoint documentation.

Waypoint 0.2.x can be upgraded to Waypoint 0.3.0 using a standard upgrade.

Breaking Changes

v0.3.0

ui: dropped support for Internet Explorer

v0.3.2

plugin/k8s: scratch_path now uses an array of strings instead of a string, allowing you to specify multiple directories to be mounted as emptyDir

Other Considerations

Server Image

waypoint install uses the hashicorp/waypoint:latest container image for Kubernetes, Nomad, and Docker. When upgrading, your platform may require you to pull the latest image instead of using a cache.

Kubernetes and Nomad both specify an "always pull" policy for :latest images so restarting the Deployment or Job should pull the latest released version. Docker may require an explicit docker pull and container recreate.

Verifying the Server Version with the UI

You can verify the server version by loading the UI and looking at the footer. You should see a version starting with v0.3. If you see an earlier version, your platform may be using an old cached image.

Verifying the Server Version with the CLI

For 0.3.1 and forward, you can verify both the CLI version and server version by running:

$ waypoint version
CLI: v0.3.1 (622f37bd1)
Server: v0.3.1

For 0.3.0, you can verify the server version using the following CLI command and inspecting the log output in the CLI. We didn't have a better way prior to v0.3.1 to describe the server version. Therefore, we try to exchange a purposely invalid token with the verbose flag (-v) in order to see the server version advertised.

$ ./waypoint token exchange abcd1234 -v

In this output, find the line starting with server version info and verify that the version key has a version starting with v0.3. If it starts with an older version, your platform may be caching the Waypoint Docker image.
