#atmos-dev - October 2025

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this addresses @j4zzcat’s feature to support imports of templates without context. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1544

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this resolves the issue reported by @Jonathan Rose (I believe) and adds extensive tests for the vendoring functions. It resolves a regression (outside of our control) that appeared after upgrading go-getter https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1504

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) another small one that builds on the previous one https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1581

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) a small clean up: https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1596

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this addresses the issues raised by @Jonathan Rose that led to defaults not used. Most likely cause is API rate limits with SSM. Tests were able to reproduce the failure case (by mocking a 10% failure rate). https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1583

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) here's a big one. It refactors all of atmos to properly use wrapped errors and eliminates substring searches on errors to determin the type of error. It adds a lot of tests in the process. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1530

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1475 all comments addressed and ready for review cc @Ben Smith (Benbentwo) (unresolved threads were preventing merge). I fixed them, but cannot self-approve.

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this is ready for final review. it adds provenance to all nodes and displays files/linenumber and depth (I hope at some point in the future this is the default view of atmos describe component; but not in this PR) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1584

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this adds the --version flag @Ben Smith (Benbentwo) wanted (that is customary; it's an alias of version command)
https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1600

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this is ready for final review. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1426 it moves telemetry notice to stderr and uses markdown formatting instead. it stops sending telemtry for completion commands. it also adds more preconditions to prevent tests from failing locally when conditions aren't met.

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1605 (smaller PR) this is to speed up local development by enabling developers to filter for short tests, aka fast tests. We could further optimize this. The idea is to catch most things locally and then everything else in CI. Is a native feature of go test.

please review https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1560 @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) @Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse)

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this test seems to be flakey - not sure why. Had the same problem in my branch.

--- FAIL: TestDescribeComponentWithProvenance (0.05s)
    describe_component_test.go:512: 
        	Error Trace:	/Users/runner/work/atmos/atmos/internal/exec/describe_component_test.go:512
        	Error:      	Should be true
        	Test:       	TestDescribeComponentWithProvenance

    describe_component_test.go:569: Successfully tested provenance tracking with 38 provenance paths
{
  "filtered": "result"
}

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1615 this ensures that we don't entirely lose track of errors returned (that are inconsequential) and at least log them in trace mode.

opened this fix for a breakage in !exec that caused us to roll back to 1.192 https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1634

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1642

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this introduces the pattern we should use for all NEW commands in atmos. We'll separately refactor existing comments to use the command registry pattern, so we can move commands into folders. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1643

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1161 adding a public changelog (blog) format. This is where we should announce features. Anything that is major/minor.

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1642

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1635

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) bug fix for the check requiring changelog https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1646

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1650

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this introduces plugable component types, while preserving backward compatbility with our current "built-in" component types. Subsequent PRs down the road will refactor those into the pluggable types. This is so we can more easily adopt new component types.

https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1648

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this fixes the lintroller custom plugin for golanglint-ci. must say I'm not a fan of how they do "plugins", but so be it for now.
https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1636

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this adds --chdir support to atmos (like -C in git and make). By passing this flag, or setting ATMOS_CHDIR , atmos will first change to this working directory before commencing any processing. This is different from --base-path which works on file path manipulation rather than changing working directory.

It means that if one is working in a git worktree, setting ATMOS_CHDIR to some infra repo or path, it will "just work" without needing to change directories in the current shell. cc @Ben Smith (Benbentwo) @Dan Miller (tembo) @Igor Rodionov

https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1644

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1652

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) can we do this next? https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1644 this is very helpful for atmos development. It allows us to define a root for atmos to use. When working with multiple Git work trees developing Atmos, each work tree can be pointed to use a particular infrastructure repository simply by setting an environment variable.

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) @Dan Miller (tembo) I think we can merge this. I addressed the coderabbit comments and my own comments. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1633

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) we should not cut 1.195 until we resolve these https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1660 (i'm working on the fixes)

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) i think the custom linter corrupted the git tree due to how it was compiled. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1666

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this is ready. Makes it easy to see what the latest releases are for atmos and show the release notes. https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1658

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) small refactoring for test stability regarding how args are tested https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1675

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) can you approve https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/pull/1676 so we can publish the blog link

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) this is ready. It adds the ability to list all identities, including by defaul a tree view. It can even export mermaid diagram, markdown and grafwiz of the identity architecture.
