|
12 | 12 | -------------- |
|
13 | 13 | |
|
14 | 14 | The main repository is hosted on Our Own Kallithea (aka OOK) at |
|
15 | 15 | https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/, our self-hosted instance |
|
16 | 16 | of Kallithea. |
|
17 | 17 | |
|
18 | 18 | For now, we use Bitbucket_ for `pull requests`_ and `issue tracking`_. The |
|
19 | 19 | issue tracker is for tracking bugs, not for support, discussion, or ideas -- |
|
20 | 20 | please use the `mailing list`_ or :ref:`IRC <readme>` to reach the community. |
|
21 | 21 | |
|
22 | 22 | We use Weblate_ to translate the user interface messages into languages other |
|
23 | 23 | than English. Join our project on `Hosted Weblate`_ to help us. |
|
24 | 24 | To register, you can use your Bitbucket or GitHub account. See :ref:`translations` |
|
25 | 25 | for more details. |

|
28 | 28 | Getting started |
|
29 | 29 | --------------- |
|
30 | 30 | |
|
31 | 31 | To get started with Kallithea development:: |
|
32 | 32 | |
|
33 | 33 | hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea |
|
34 | 34 | cd kallithea |
|
35 | 35 | python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv |
|
36 | 36 | source ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate |
|
37 | 37 | pip install --upgrade pip setuptools |
|
38 | 38 | pip install --upgrade -e . -r dev_requirements.txt python-ldap python-pam |
|
39 | 39 | kallithea-cli config-create my.ini |
|
40 | 40 | kallithea-cli db-create -c my.ini --user=user --email=user@example.com --password=password --repos=/tmp |
|
41 | 41 | kallithea-cli front-end-build |
|
42 | 42 | gearbox serve -c my.ini --reload & |
|
43 | 43 | firefox http://127.0.0.1:5000/ |
|
44 | 44 | |
|
45 | 45 | If you plan to use Bitbucket_ for sending contributions, you can also fork |
|
46 | 46 | Kallithea on Bitbucket_ first (https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea) and |
|
47 | 47 | then replace the clone step above by a clone of your fork. In this case, please |
|
48 | 48 | see :ref:`contributing-guidelines` below for configuring your fork correctly. |
|

|
51 | 51 | Contribution flow |
|
52 | 52 | ----------------- |
|
53 | 53 | |
|
54 | 54 | Starting from an existing Kallithea clone, make sure it is up to date with the |
|
55 | 55 | latest upstream changes:: |
|
56 | 56 | |
|
57 | 57 | hg pull |
|
58 | 58 | hg update |
|
59 | 59 | |
|
60 | 60 | Review the :ref:`contributing-guidelines` and :ref:`coding-guidelines`. |
|
61 | 61 | |
|
62 | 62 | If you are new to Mercurial, refer to Mercurial `Quick Start`_ and `Beginners |
|
63 | 63 | Guide`_ on the Mercurial wiki. |
|
64 | 64 | |
|
65 | 65 | Now, make some changes and test them (see :ref:`contributing-tests`). Don't |
|
66 | 66 | forget to add new tests to cover new functionality or bug fixes. |
|
67 | 67 | |
|
68 | 68 | For documentation changes, run ``make html`` from the ``docs`` directory to |
|
69 | 69 | generate the HTML result, then review them in your browser. |
|
70 | 70 | |
|
71 | 71 | Before submitting any changes, run the cleanup script:: |
|
72 | 72 | |
|
73 | 73 | ./scripts/run-all-cleanup |
|
74 | 74 | |
|
75 | 75 | When you are completely ready, you can send your changes to the community for |
|
76 | 76 | review and inclusion. Most commonly used methods are sending patches to the |
|
77 | 77 | mailing list (via ``hg email``) or by creating a pull request on Bitbucket_. |
|
78 | 78 | |
|
79 | 79 | .. _contributing-tests: |
|
80 | 80 | |
|
81 | 81 | |
|
82 | 82 | Running tests |
|
83 | 83 | ------------- |
|
84 | 84 | |
|
85 | 85 | After finishing your changes make sure all tests pass cleanly. Run the testsuite |
|
86 | 86 | by invoking ``py.test`` from the project root:: |
|
87 | 87 | |
|
88 | 88 | py.test |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | Note that on unix systems, the temporary directory (``/tmp`` or where |
|
91 | 91 | ``$TMPDIR`` points) must allow executable files; Git hooks must be executable, |
|
92 | 92 | and the test suite creates repositories in the temporary directory. Linux |
|
93 | 93 | systems with /tmp mounted noexec will thus fail. |
|
94 | 94 | |
|
95 | 95 | You can also use ``tox`` to run the tests with all supported Python versions. |
|
96 | 96 | |
|
97 | 97 | When running tests, Kallithea generates a `test.ini` based on template values |
|
98 | 98 | in `kallithea/tests/conftest.py` and populates the SQLite database specified |
|
99 | 99 | there. |
|
100 | 100 | |
|
101 | 101 | It is possible to avoid recreating the full test database on each invocation of |
|
102 | 102 | the tests, thus eliminating the initial delay. To achieve this, run the tests as:: |
|
103 | 103 | |
|
104 | 104 | gearbox serve -c /tmp/kallithea-test-XXX/test.ini --pid-file=test.pid --daemon |
|
105 | 105 | KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 py.test |
|
106 | 106 | kill -9 $(cat test.pid) |
|
107 | 107 | |
|
108 | 108 | In these commands, the following variables are used:: |
|
109 | 109 | |
|
110 | 110 | KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 - skip whoosh index building and tests |
|
111 | 111 | KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 - disable new temp path for tests, used mostly for testing_vcs_operations |
|
112 | 112 | |
|
113 | 113 | You can run individual tests by specifying their path as argument to py.test. |
|
114 | 114 | py.test also has many more options, see `py.test -h`. Some useful options |
|
115 | 115 | are:: |
|
116 | 116 | |
|
117 | 117 | -k EXPRESSION only run tests which match the given substring |
|
118 | 118 | expression. An expression is a python evaluable |
|
119 | 119 | expression where all names are substring-matched |
|
120 | 120 | against test names and their parent classes. Example: |
|
121 | 121 | -x, --exitfirst exit instantly on first error or failed test. |
|
122 | 122 | --lf rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or |
|
123 | 123 | all if none failed) |
|
124 | 124 | --ff run all tests but run the last failures first. This |
|
125 | 125 | may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture |
|
126 | 126 | setup/teardown |
|
127 | 127 | --pdb start the interactive Python debugger on errors. |
|
128 | 128 | -s, --capture=no don't capture stdout (any stdout output will be |
|
129 | 129 | printed immediately) |
|
130 | 130 | |
|
131 | 131 | Performance tests |
|
132 | 132 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
133 | 133 | |
|
134 | 134 | A number of performance tests are present in the test suite, but they are |
|
135 | 135 | not run in a standard test run. These tests are useful to |
|
136 | 136 | evaluate the impact of certain code changes with respect to performance. |
|
137 | 137 | |
|
138 | 138 | To run these tests:: |
|
139 | 139 | |
|
140 | 140 | env TEST_PERFORMANCE=1 py.test kallithea/tests/performance |
|
141 | 141 | |
|
142 | 142 | To analyze performance, you could install pytest-profiling_, which enables the |
|
143 | 143 | --profile and --profile-svg options to py.test. |

150 | 150 | Contribution guidelines |
|
151 | 151 | ----------------------- |
|
152 | 152 | |
|
153 | 153 | Kallithea is GPLv3 and we assume all contributions are made by the |
|
154 | 154 | committer/contributor and under GPLv3 unless explicitly stated. We do care a |
|
155 | 155 | lot about preservation of copyright and license information for existing code |
|
156 | 156 | that is brought into the project. |
|
157 | 157 | |
|
158 | 158 | Contributions will be accepted in most formats -- such as pull requests on |
|
159 | 159 | Bitbucket, something hosted on your own Kallithea instance, or patches sent by |
|
160 | 160 | email to the `kallithea-general`_ mailing list. |
|
161 | 161 | |
|
162 | 162 | When contributing via Bitbucket, please make your fork of |
|
163 | 163 | https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/ `non-publishing`_ -- it is one of |
|
164 | 164 | the settings on "Repository details" page. This ensures your commits are in |
|
165 | 165 | "draft" phase and makes it easier for you to address feedback and for project |
|
166 | 166 | maintainers to integrate your changes. |
|
167 | 167 | |
|
168 | 168 | .. _non-publishing: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Phases#Publishing_Repository |
|
169 | 169 | |
|
170 | 170 | Make sure to test your changes both manually and with the automatic tests |
|
171 | 171 | before posting. |
|
172 | 172 | |
|
173 | 173 | We care about quality and review and keeping a clean repository history. We |
|
174 | 174 | might give feedback that requests polishing contributions until they are |
|
175 | 175 | "perfect". We might also rebase and collapse and make minor adjustments to your |
|
176 | 176 | changes when we apply them. |
|
177 | 177 | |
|
178 | 178 | We try to make sure we have consensus on the direction the project is taking. |
|
179 | 179 | Everything non-sensitive should be discussed in public -- preferably on the |
|
180 | 180 | mailing list. We aim at having all non-trivial changes reviewed by at least |
|
181 | 181 | one other core developer before pushing. Obvious non-controversial changes will |
|
182 | 182 | be handled more casually. |
|
183 | 183 | |
|
184 | 184 | There is a main development branch ("default") which is generally stable so that |
|
185 | 185 | it can be (and is) used in production. There is also a "stable" branch that is |
|
186 | 186 | almost exclusively reserved for bug fixes or trivial changes. Experimental |
|
187 | 187 | changes should live elsewhere (for example in a pull request) until they are |
|
188 | 188 | ready. |

|
193 | 193 | Coding guidelines |
|
194 | 194 | ----------------- |
|
195 | 195 | |
|
196 | 196 | We don't have a formal coding/formatting standard. We are currently using a mix |
|
197 | 197 | of Mercurial's (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/CodingStyle), pep8, and |
|
198 | 198 | consistency with existing code. Run ``scripts/run-all-cleanup`` before |
|
199 | 199 | committing to ensure some basic code formatting consistency. |
|
200 | 200 | |
|
201 | 201 | We support Python 3.6 and later. |
|
202 | 202 | |
|
203 | 203 | We try to support the most common modern web browsers. IE9 is still supported |
|
204 | 204 | to the extent it is feasible, IE8 is not. |
|
205 | 205 | |
|
206 | 206 | We primarily support Linux and OS X on the server side but Windows should also work. |
|
207 | 207 | |
|
208 | 208 | HTML templates should use 2 spaces for indentation ... but be pragmatic. We |
|
209 | 209 | should use templates cleverly and avoid duplication. We should use reasonable |
|
210 | 210 | semantic markup with element classes and IDs that can be used for styling and testing. |
|
211 | 211 | We should only use inline styles in places where it really is semantic (such as |
|
212 | 212 | ``display: none``). |
|
213 | 213 | |
|
214 | 214 | JavaScript must use ``;`` between/after statements. Indentation 4 spaces. Inline |
|
215 | 215 | multiline functions should be indented two levels -- one for the ``()`` and one for |
|
216 | 216 | ``{}``. |
|
217 | 217 | Variables holding jQuery objects should be named with a leading ``$``. |
|
218 | 218 | |
|
219 | 219 | Commit messages should have a leading short line summarizing the changes. For |
|
220 | 220 | bug fixes, put ``(Issue #123)`` at the end of this line. |
|
221 | 221 | |
|
222 | 222 | Use American English grammar and spelling overall. Use `English title case`_ for |
|
223 | 223 | page titles, button labels, headers, and 'labels' for fields in forms. |
|
224 | 224 | |
|
225 | 225 | .. _English title case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization#Title_case |
|
226 | 226 | |
|
227 | 227 | Template helpers (that is, everything in ``kallithea.lib.helpers``) |
|
228 | 228 | should only be referenced from templates. If you need to call a |
|
229 | 229 | helper from the Python code, consider moving the function somewhere |
|
230 | 230 | else (e.g. to the model). |
|
231 | 231 | |
|
232 | 232 | Notes on the SQLAlchemy session |
|
233 | 233 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
234 | 234 | |
|
235 | 235 | Each HTTP request runs inside an independent SQLAlchemy session (as well |
|
236 | 236 | as in an independent database transaction). ``Session`` is the session manager |
|
237 | 237 | and factory. ``Session()`` will create a new session on-demand or return the |
|
238 | 238 | current session for the active thread. Many database operations are methods on |
|
239 | such session instances - only ``Session.remove()`` should be called directly on | |
|
240 | the manager. | |
|
239 | such session instances. The session will generally be removed by | |
|
240 | TurboGears automatically. | |
|
241 | 241 | |
|
242 | 242 | Database model objects |
|
243 | 243 | (almost) always belong to a particular SQLAlchemy session, which means |
|
244 | 244 | that SQLAlchemy will ensure that they're kept in sync with the database |
|
245 | 245 | (but also means that they cannot be shared across requests). |
|
246 | 246 | |
|
247 | 247 | Objects can be added to the session using ``Session().add``, but this is |
|
248 | 248 | rarely needed: |
|
249 | 249 | |
|
250 | 250 | * When creating a database object by calling the constructor directly, |
|
251 | 251 | it must explicitly be added to the session. |
|
252 | 252 | |
|
253 | 253 | * When creating an object using a factory function (like |
|
254 | 254 | ``create_repo``), the returned object has already (by convention) |
|
255 | 255 | been added to the session, and should not be added again. |
|
256 | 256 | |
|
257 | 257 | * When getting an object from the session (via ``Session().query`` or |
|
258 | 258 | any of the utility functions that look up objects in the database), |
|
259 | 259 | it's already part of the session, and should not be added again. |
|
260 | 260 | SQLAlchemy monitors attribute modifications automatically for all |
|
261 | 261 | objects it knows about and syncs them to the database. |
|
262 | 262 | |
|
263 | 263 | SQLAlchemy also flushes changes to the database automatically; manually |
|
264 | 264 | calling ``Session().flush`` is usually only necessary when the Python |
|
265 | 265 | code needs the database to assign an "auto-increment" primary key ID to |
|
266 | 266 | a freshly created model object (before flushing, the ID attribute will |
|
267 | 267 | be ``None``). |
|
268 | 268 | |
|
269 | 269 | TurboGears2 DebugBar |
|
270 | 270 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
271 | 271 | |
|
272 | 272 | It is possible to enable the TurboGears2-provided DebugBar_, a toolbar overlayed |
|
273 | 273 | over the Kallithea web interface, allowing you to see: |
|
274 | 274 | |
|
275 | 275 | * timing information of the current request, including profiling information |
|
276 | 276 | * request data, including GET data, POST data, cookies, headers and environment |
|
277 | 277 | variables |
|
278 | 278 | * a list of executed database queries, including timing and result values |
|
279 | 279 | |
|
280 | 280 | DebugBar is only activated when ``debug = true`` is set in the configuration |
|
281 | 281 | file. This is important, because the DebugBar toolbar will be visible for all |
|
282 | 282 | users, and allow them to see information they should not be allowed to see. Like |
|
283 | 283 | is anyway the case for ``debug = true``, do not use this in production! |
|
284 | 284 | |
|
285 | 285 | To enable DebugBar, install ``tgext.debugbar`` and ``kajiki`` (typically via |
|
286 | 286 | ``pip``) and restart Kallithea (in debug mode). |
|
287 | 287 | |
