1.0.0 Migration Guide

The 1.0.0 release of the google-cloud-talent client is a significant upgrade based on a next-gen code generator, and includes substantial interface changes. Existing code written for earlier versions of this library will likely require updates to use this version. This document describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your usage.

If you experience issues or have questions, please file an issue.

Supported Python Versions

WARNING: Breaking change The 1.0.0 release requires Python 3.6+.

Method Calls

WARNING: Breaking change Methods expect request objects. We provide a script that will convert most common use cases.

• Install the library with libcst.

python3 -m pip install google-cloud-talent[libcst]

• The scripts fixup_talent_v4beta1_keywords.py shipped with the library. It expects an input directory (with the code to convert) and an empty destination directory.

$ fixup_talent_v1_keywords.py --input-directory .samples/ --output-directory samples/

Before:

from google.cloud import talent_v4beta1
client = talent_v4beta1.JobServiceClient()
parent = client.project_path('[PROJECT]')
# TODO: Initialize `jobs`:
jobs = []
response = client.batch_create_jobs(parent, jobs)

After:

response = client.batch_create_jobs(request={"parent": "parent", "jobs": []})

More Details

In google-cloud-talent<1.0.0, parameters required by the API were positional parameters and optional parameters were keyword parameters.

Before:

    def batch_create_jobs(
        self,
        parent,
        jobs,
        retry=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
        timeout=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
        metadata=None,
    ):

In the 1.0.0 release, all methods have a single positional parameter request. Method docstrings indicate whether a parameter is required or optional.

Some methods have additional keyword only parameters. The available parameters depend on the google.api.method_signature annotation specified by the API producer.

After:

    def batch_create_jobs(
        self,
        request: job_service.BatchCreateJobsRequest = None,
        *,
        parent: str = None,
        jobs: Sequence[job.Job] = None,
        retry: retries.Retry = gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
        timeout: float = None,
        metadata: Sequence[Tuple[str, str]] = (),
    ) -> operation.Operation:

NOTE: The request parameter and flattened keyword parameters for the API are mutually exclusive. Passing both will result in an error. Both of these calls are valid:

response = client.batch_create_jobs(
    request={
        "parent": parent,
        "jobs": jobs,
    }
)

response = client.batch_create_jobs(
    parent=parent,
    jobs=jobs,
)

This call is invalid because it mixes request with a keyword argument jobs. Executing this code will result in an error.

response = client.batch_create_jobs(
    request={
        "parent": parent,
    },
    jobs=jobs
)

v4beta1 -> v4

In addition, this release adds the v4 API surface, which has breaking changes from the v4beta1. The google.cloud.talent import now resolves to google.cloud.talent_v4. To continue to use the v4beta1, import from it explicitly.

The v4 surface merges functionalty in the v3p1beta1 and v4beta1.

from google.cloud import talent_v4beta1

search_jobs

search_jobs returns SearchJobsResponse. Matching jobs are in SearchJobsResponse.matching_jobs.

v4beta1:

from google.cloud import talent_v4beta1


client = talent_v4beta1.JobServiceClient()

#...
request = talent_v4beta1.SearchJobsRequest(
    parent=parent,
    request_metadata=request_metadata,
    job_query=job_query,
)
for response_item in client.search_jobs(request=request):
    # ...

v4

from google.cloud import talent_v4


client = talent_v4.JobServiceClient()

#...
request = talent_v4.SearchJobsRequest(
    parent=parent,
    request_metadata=request_metadata,
    job_query=job_query,
)
for response_item in client.search_jobs(request=request).matching_jobs:
    # ...
