Development environment

Clone the project:

git clone git@github.com:accelero-cloud/appkernel.git

After cloning the project, you might want to setup a virtual environment:

cd appkernel
pip install --user pipenv
virtualenv -p python3 .venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Since astroid (a dependency of pylint) is not supporting python 3.7 yet, you might need to run the command from above if your pylint analysis ends with RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration.

pip install --pre -U pylint astroid

Hint for PyCharm users

• you might want to set the Project Interpreter (in the project settings) to the virtual environment just have created;
• you might want to set to excluded your .idea, appkernel.egg-info and venv folder in case of using Pycharm;

Setup git hooks

The project features pre-commit and pre-push hooks for automatically running tests and pylint:

cd .git/hooks
ln -sf ../../hooks/pre-commit ./pre-commit
ln -sf ../../hooks/pre-push ./pre-push
cd ../..

Preparing test execution

Some tests require compiled translations:

cd tests
pybabel compile -d ./translations

And many others a working local mongo db:

docker create -v ~/data:/data/db -p 27017:27017 --name mongo mongo
docker start mongo

…where ~/data might be replaced by any folder where you would like to store database files;

Hint: the schema installation feature expects a MongoDB version min. 3.6. In case you have an older version you might need to upgrade your mongo image (docker pull mongo:latest).

Run the following command in the test folder:

pytest

Publish the project to PyPi

Make sure yuo have the latest twine version:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade twine

Make a test run:

python setup.py build -vf && python setup.py bdist_wheel
twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

Once we are ready we can upload the package the repo:

python setup.py build -vf && python setup.py bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*

In case you have a ~/.pypirc you can use the shortcut names:

[distutils]
index-servers=
	pypi
	pypitest

[pypi]
#repository=https://pypi.python.org/pypi
username=user
password=pass

[pypitest]
#repository=https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
username=user
password=pass

twine upload -r pypitest dist/*
