# Gamma Upgrade & Migration
## Overview
Guide for upgrading Gamma SDK versions and migrating between API versions safely.
## Prerequisites
- Existing Gamma integration
- Version control (git)
- Test environment available
## Instructions
### Step 1: Check Current Version
```bash
# Node.js
npm list @gamma/sdk
# Python
pip show gamma-sdk
# Check for available updates
npm outdated @gamma/sdk
```
### Step 2: Review Changelog
```bash
# View changelog
npm info @gamma/sdk changelog
# Or visit
# https://gamma.app/docs/changelog
```
### Step 3: Upgrade SDK
```bash
# Create upgrade branch
git checkout -b feat/gamma-sdk-upgrade
# Node.js - upgrade to latest
npm install @gamma/sdk@latest
# Python - upgrade to latest
pip install --upgrade gamma-sdk
# Or specific version
npm install @gamma/[email protected]
```
### Step 4: Handle Breaking Changes
**Common Migration Patterns:**
```typescript
// v1.x -> v2.x: Client initialization change
// Before (v1)
import Gamma from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new Gamma(apiKey);
// After (v2)
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new GammaClient({ apiKey });
```
```typescript
// v1.x -> v2.x: Response format change
// Before (v1)
const result = await gamma.createPresentation({ title: 'Test' });
console.log(result.id);
// After (v2)
const result = await gamma.presentations.create({ title: 'Test' });
console.log(result.data.id);
```
```typescript
// v1.x -> v2.x: Error handling change
// Before (v1)
try {
await gamma.create({ ... });
} catch (e) {
if (e.code === 'RATE_LIMIT') { ... }
}
// After (v2)
import { RateLimitError } from '@gamma/sdk';
try {
await gamma.presentations.create({ ... });
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof RateLimitError) { ... }
}
```
### Step 5: Update Type Definitions
```typescript
// Check for type changes
// tsconfig.json - ensure strict mode catches issues
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"noImplicitAny": true
}
}
// Run type check
npx tsc --noEmit
```
### Step 6: Test Thoroughly
```bash
# Run unit tests
npm test
# Run integration tests
npm run test:integration
# Manual smoke test
node -e "
const { GammaClient } = require('@gamma/sdk');
const g = new GammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY });
g.ping().then(() => console.log('OK')).catch(console.error);
"
```
### Step 7: Deprecation Handling
```typescript
// Enable deprecation warnings
const gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
showDeprecationWarnings: true,
});
// Migrate deprecated methods
// Deprecated
await gamma.getPresentations();
// New
await gamma.presentations.list();
```
## Migration Checklist
- [ ] Current version documented
- [ ] Changelog reviewed
- [ ] Breaking changes identified
- [ ] Upgrade branch created
- [ ] SDK upgraded
- [ ] Type errors fixed
- [ ] Deprecation warnings addressed
- [ ] Unit tests passing
- [ ] Integration tests passing
- [ ] Staging deployment verified
- [ ] Production deployment planned
## Rollback Procedure
```bash
# If issues occur after upgrade
git checkout main
npm install # Restores previous version from lock file
# Or explicitly downgrade
npm install @gamma/[email protected]
```

## Next Steps
Proceed to `gamma-ci-integration` for CI/CD setup.
This skill upgrades Gamma SDK packages and guides safe migration between API versions. It provides a step-by-step workflow for checking versions, applying upgrades, handling breaking changes, running tests, and rolling back if needed. Use it to reduce risk when moving to new Gamma releases.
The skill inspects the current SDK version, reviews changelogs, and creates a dedicated upgrade branch. It applies the package upgrade for Node or Python, highlights common migration patterns (initialization, response formats, and error types), and enforces type checks and tests. It also offers a checklist, deprecation handling tips, and a rollback procedure to recover quickly from issues.
What if tests pass locally but staging fails?
Reproduce the failing scenario with the same environment variables and dependencies used in staging, capture logs, and revert to the upgrade branch while you triage; use the rollback procedure if needed.
How do I find breaking changes for a specific version?
Check the Gamma changelog and migration guides linked in the resources, and search for version-specific notes; focus on client initialization, response shapes, and error classes.
