feat: add a snowflake extra (posit-cli[snowflake]) that forwards to rsconnect-python[snowflake] #28
Description
🤖 ## Problem
To deploy to Connect on Snowflake (SPCS), users need rsconnect-python's snowflake extra, which pulls in snowflake-cli. posit-cli has no way to request it, so users have to reach past posit-cli into its dependency:
uv tool install posit-cli --with 'rsconnect-python[snowflake]'This leaks an implementation detail (posit-cli wraps rsconnect-python) into the install instructions. Users also have to know the upstream package name and extra.
Proposal
Add a snowflake extra to posit-cli that forwards to rsconnect-python's extra:
[project.optional-dependencies]
snowflake = ["rsconnect-python[snowflake]>=1.30,<2"]The install then becomes:
uv tool install 'posit-cli[snowflake]'
pip install 'posit-cli[snowflake]'Acceptance criteria
-
posit-cli[snowflake]installssnowflake-clithrough rsconnect-python'ssnowflakeextra. - The extra's rsconnect-python version range matches the base dependency, so the two can't drift apart.
- The README documents the extra, along with any other Snowflake setup that's needed.
- Optional: a test or CI check that the extra resolves, for example
uv pip install --dry-run '.[snowflake]'.
Notes
- rsconnect-python currently ships two extras,
keyringandsnowflake. posit-cli already depends onkeyringdirectly, sosnowflakeis the only one left to expose. - If rsconnect-python adds more extras later, we should decide case by case whether to alias them.
