See the License for the specific language governing permissions and .. limitations under the License. .. .. _`Development`: Development =========== This section only needs to be read by developers of the zhmcclient package. People that want to make a fix or develop some extension, and people that want to test the project are also considered developers for the purpose of this section. .. _`Code of Conduct Section`: Code of Conduct --------------- Help us keep zhmcclient open and inclusive. Please read and follow our `Code of Conduct`_. .. _Code of Conduct: https://github.com/zhmcclient/python-zhmcclient/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md .. _`Repository`: Repository ---------- The repository for zhmcclient is on GitHub: https://github.com/zhmcclient/python-zhmcclient .. _`Setting up the development environment`: Setting up the development environment -------------------------------------- The development environment is pretty easy to set up. Besides having a supported operating system with a supported Python version (see :ref:`Supported environments`), it is recommended that you set up a `virtual Python environment`_. .. _virtual Python environment: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/ Then, with a virtual Python environment active, clone the Git repo of this project and prepare the development environment with ``make develop``: .. code-block:: text $ git clone git@github.com:zhmcclient/python-zhmcclient.git $ cd python-zhmcclient $ make develop This will install all prerequisites the package needs to run, as well as all prerequisites that you need for development. Generally, this project uses Make to do things in the currently active Python environment. The command ``make help`` (or just ``make``) displays a list of valid Make targets and a short description of what each target does. .. _`Building the documentation`: Building the documentation -------------------------- The ReadTheDocs (RTD) site is used to publish the documentation for the zhmcclient package at http://python-zhmcclient.readthedocs.io/ This page automatically gets updated whenever the ``master`` branch of the Git repo for this package changes. In order to build the documentation locally from the Git work directory, issue: .. code-block:: text $ make builddoc The top-level document to open with a web browser will be ``build_doc/html/docs/index.html``. .. _`Testing`: Testing ------- To run unit tests in the currently active Python environment, issue one of these example variants of ``make test``: .. code-block:: text $ make test # Run all unit tests $ TESTCASES=test_resource.py make test # Run only this test source file $ TESTCASES=TestInit make test # Run only this test class $ TESTCASES="TestInit or TestSet" make test # py.test -k expressions are possible To run the unit tests and some more commands that verify the project is in good shape in all supported Python environments, use Tox: .. code-block:: text $ tox # Run all tests on all supported Python versions $ tox -e py27 # Run all tests on Python 2.7 $ tox -e py27 test_resource.py # Run only this test source file on Python 2.7 $ tox -e py27 TestInit # Run only this test class on Python 2.7 $ tox -e py27 TestInit or TestSet # py.test -k expressions are possible The positional arguments of the ``tox`` command are passed to ``py.test`` using its ``-k`` option. Invoke ``py.test --help`` for details on the expression syntax of its ``-k`` option. Running function tests against a real HMC and CPC ------------------------------------------------- The function tests (in ``tests/function/test_*.py``) can be run against a faked HMC/CPC (using the zhmcclient mock support), or against a real HMC/CPC. By default, the function tests are run against the faked HMC/CPC. To run them against a real HMC/CPC, you must: * Specify the name of the target CPC in the ``ZHMC_TEST_CPC`` environment variable. This environment variable is the control point that decides between using a real HMC/CPC and using the faked environment:: export ZHMC_TEST_CPC=S67B * Have an HMC credentials file at location ``examples/hmccreds.yaml`` that specifies the target CPC (among possibly further CPCs) in its ``cpcs`` item:: cpcs: S67B: description: "z13s in DPM mode" contact: "Joe" hmc_host: "10.11.12.13" hmc_userid: myuserid hmc_password: mypassword # ... more CPCs There is an example HMC credentials file in the repo, at ``examples/example_hmccreds.yaml``. For a description of its format, see `Format of the HMC credentials file`_. Enabling logging for function tests ----------------------------------- The function tests always log to stderr. What can be logged are the following two components: * ``api``: Calls to and returns from zhmcclient API functions (at debug level). * ``hmc``: Interactions with the HMC (i.e. HTTP requests and responses, at debug level). By default, the log component and level is set to:: all=warning meaning that all components log at warning level or higher. To set different log levels for the log components, set the ``ZHMC_LOG`` environment variable as follows:: export ZHMC_LOG=COMP=LEVEL[,COMP=LEVEL[,...]] Where: * ``COMP`` is one of: ``all``, ``api``, ``hmc``. * ``LEVEL`` is one of: ``error``, ``warning``, ``info``, ``debug``. For example, to enable logging of the zhmcclient API calls and the interactions with the HMC, use:: export ZHMC_LOG=api=debug,hmc=debug or, shorter:: export ZHMC_LOG=all=debug Format of the HMC credentials file ---------------------------------- The HMC credentials file is used for specifying real HMCs/CPCs to be used by function tests. Its syntax is YAML, and the ``cpcs`` item relevant for function testing has the following structure:: cpcs: "CPC1": description: "z13 test system" contact: "Amy" hmc_host: "10.10.10.11" # required hmc_userid: "myuser1" # required hmc_password: "mypassword1" # required "CPC2": description: "z14 development system" contact: "Bob" hmc_host: "10.10.10.12" hmc_userid: "myuser2" hmc_password: "mypassword2" In the example above, any words in double quotes are data and can change, and any words without double quotes are considered keywords and must be specified as shown. "CPC1" and "CPC2" are CPC names that are used to select an entry in the file. The entry for a CPC contains data about the HMC managing that CPC, with its host, userid and password. If two CPCs are managed by the same HMC, there would be two CPC entries with the same HMC data. .. _`Contributing`: Contributing ------------ Third party contributions to this project are welcome! In order to contribute, create a `Git pull request`_, considering this: .. _Git pull request: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/ * Test is required. * Each commit should only contain one "logical" change. * A "logical" change should be put into one commit, and not split over multiple commits. * Large new features should be split into stages. * The commit message should not only summarize what you have done, but explain why the change is useful. * The commit message must follow the format explained below. What comprises a "logical" change is subject to sound judgement. Sometimes, it makes sense to produce a set of commits for a feature (even if not large). For example, a first commit may introduce a (presumably) compatible API change without exploitation of that feature. With only this commit applied, it should be demonstrable that everything is still working as before. The next commit may be the exploitation of the feature in other components. For further discussion of good and bad practices regarding commits, see: * `OpenStack Git Commit Good Practice`_ * `How to Get Your Change Into the Linux Kernel`_ .. _OpenStack Git Commit Good Practice: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GitCommitMessages .. _How to Get Your Change Into the Linux Kernel: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst .. _`Format of commit messages`: Format of commit messages ------------------------- A commit message must start with a short summary line, followed by a blank line. Optionally, the summary line may start with an identifier that helps identifying the type of change or the component that is affected, followed by a colon. It can include a more detailed description after the summary line. This is where you explain why the change was done, and summarize what was done. It must end with the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) sign-off line in the format shown in the example below, using your name and a valid email address of yours. The DCO sign-off line certifies that you followed the rules stated in `DCO 1.1`_. In short, you certify that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. .. _DCO 1.1: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zhmcclient/python-zhmcclient/master/DCO1.1.txt We use `GitCop`_ during creation of a pull request to check whether the commit messages in the pull request comply to this format. If the commit messages do not comply, GitCop will add a comment to the pull request with a description of what was wrong. .. _GitCop: http://gitcop.com/ Example commit message: .. code-block:: text cookies: Add support for delivering cookies Cookies are important for many people. This change adds a pluggable API for delivering cookies to the user, and provides a default implementation. Signed-off-by: Random J Developer Use ``git commit --amend`` to edit the commit message, if you need to. Use the ``--signoff`` (``-s``) option of ``git commit`` to append a sign-off line to the commit message with your name and email as known by Git. If you like filling out the commit message in an editor instead of using the ``-m`` option of ``git commit``, you can automate the presence of the sign-off line by using a commit template file: * Create a file outside of the repo (say, ``~/.git-signoff.template``) that contains, for example: .. code-block:: text Signed-off-by: Random J Developer * Configure Git to use that file as a commit template for your repo: .. code-block:: text git config commit.template ~/.git-signoff.template .. _`Releasing a version`: Releasing a version ------------------- This section shows the steps for releasing a version to `PyPI `_. Switch to your work directory of the python-zhmcclient Git repo (this is where the ``Makefile`` is), and perform the following steps in that directory: 1. Set a shell variable for the version to be released, e.g.: .. code-block:: text MNU='0.11.0' 2. Verify that your working directory is in a Git-wise clean state: .. code-block:: text git status 3. Check out the ``master`` branch, and update it from upstream: .. code-block:: text git checkout master git pull 4. Create a topic branch for the release, based upon the ``master`` branch: .. code-block:: text git checkout -b release-$MNU 5. Edit the change log (``docs/changes.rst``) and perform the following changes in the top-most section (that is the section for the version to be released): * If needed, change the version in the section heading to the version to be released, e.g.: .. code-block:: text Version 0.11.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Change the release date to today's date, e.g.: .. code-block:: text Released: 2017-03-16 * Make sure that the change log entries reflect all changes since the previous version, and make sure they are relevant for and understandable by users. * In the "Known issues" list item, remove the link to the issue tracker and add any known issues you want users to know about. Just linking to the issue tracker quickly becomes incorrect for released versions: .. code-block:: text **Known issues:** * .... * Remove all empty list items in the change log section for this release. 6. Commit your changes and push them upstream: .. code-block:: text git add docs/changes.rst git commit -sm "Updated change log for $MNU release." git push --set-upstream origin release-$MNU 7. On GitHub, create a pull request for branch ``release-$MNU``. 8. Perform a complete test: .. code-block:: text tox This should not fail because the same tests have already been run in the Travis CI. However, run it for additional safety before the release. * If this test fails, fix any issues until the test succeeds. Commit the changes and push them upstream: .. code-block:: text git add git commit -sm "" git push Wait for the automatic tests to show success for this change. 9. Once the CI tests on GitHub are complete, merge the pull request. 10. Update your local ``master`` branch: .. code-block:: text git checkout master git pull 11. Tag the ``master`` branch with the release label and push the tag upstream: .. code-block:: text git tag $MNU git push --tags 12. On GitHub, edit the new tag, and create a release description on it. This will cause it to appear in the Release tab. You can see the tags in GitHub via Code -> Releases -> Tags. 13. Upload the package to PyPI: .. code-block:: text make upload This will show the package version and will ask for confirmation. **Attention!!** This only works once for each version. You cannot release the same version twice to PyPI. 14. Verify that the released version is shown on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zhmcclient/ 15. Verify that RTD shows the released version as its stable version: https://python-zhmcclient.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html#versioning Note: RTD builds the documentation automatically, but it may take a few minutes to do so. 16. On GitHub, close milestone ``M.N.U``. .. _`Starting a new version`: Starting a new version ---------------------- This section shows the steps for starting development of a new version. These steps may be performed right after the steps for :ref:`releasing a version`, or independently. This description works for releases that are direct successors of the previous release. It does not cover starting a new version that is a fix release to a version that was released earlier. Switch to your work directory of the python-zhmcclient Git repo (this is where the ``Makefile`` is), and perform the following steps in that directory: 1. Set a shell variable for the new version to be started: .. code-block:: text MNU='0.12.0' 2. Verify that your working directory is in a git-wise clean state: .. code-block:: text git status 3. Check out the ``master`` branch, and update it from upstream: .. code-block:: text git checkout master git pull 4. Create a topic branch for the release, based upon the ``master`` branch: .. code-block:: text git checkout -b start-$MNU 5. Edit the change log (``docs/changes.rst``) and insert the following section before the top-most section (which is the section about the latest released version): .. code-block:: text Version 0.12.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Released: not yet **Incompatible changes:** **Deprecations:** **Bug fixes:** **Enhancements:** **Known issues:** * See `list of open issues`_. .. _`list of open issues`: https://github.com/zhmcclient/python-zhmcclient/issues 6. Commit your changes and push them upstream: .. code-block:: text git add docs/changes.rst git commit -sm "Started $MNU release." git push --set-upstream origin start-$MNU 7. On GitHub, create a pull request for branch ``start-$MNU``. 8. On GitHub, create a new milestone for development of the next release, e.g. ``M.N.U``. You can create a milestone in GitHub via Issues -> Milestones -> New Milestone. 9. On GitHub, go through all open issues and pull requests that still have milestones for previous releases set, and either set them to the new milestone, or to have no milestone. 10. Once the CI tests on GitHub are complete, merge the pull request. 11. Update your local ``master`` branch: .. code-block:: text git checkout master git pull
