.. _`Development`:
Development
===========
This section only needs to be read by developers of the zhmc-ansible-modules
project. 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.
.. _`Repository`:
Repository
----------
The repository for the zhmc-ansible-modules project is on GitHub:
https://github.com/zhmcclient/zhmc-ansible-modules
.. _`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 setup``:
.. code-block:: text
$ git clone git@github.com:zhmcclient/zhmc-ansible-modules.git
$ cd zhmc-ansible-modules
$ make setup
This will install all prerequisites the project needs for its 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
zhmc-ansible-modules project at http://zhmc-ansible-modules.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 docs
The top-level document to open with a web browser will be
``build/docs/html/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.

.. _`Releasing a version`:
Releasing a version
-------------------
This section shows the steps for releasing a version to `PyPI
`_.
It covers all variants of versions that can be released:
* Releasing the master branch as a new major or minor version (M+1.0.0 or M.N+1.0)
* Releasing a stable branch as a new update version (M.N.U+1)
This description assumes that you are authorized to push to the upstream repo
at https://github.com/zhmcclient/zhmc-ansible-modules and that the upstream repo
has the remote name ``origin`` in your local clone.
1. Switch to your work directory of your local clone of the
zhmc-ansible-modules Git repo and perform the following steps in that
directory.
2. Set shell variables for the version and branch to be released:
* ``MNU`` - Full version number M.N.U this release should have
* ``MN`` - Major and minor version numbers M.N of that full version
* ``BRANCH`` - Name of the branch to be released
When releasing the master branch (e.g. as version ``0.6.0``):
.. code-block:: text
MNU=0.6.0
MN=0.6
BRANCH=master
When releasing a stable branch (e.g. as version ``0.5.1``):
.. code-block:: text
MNU=0.5.1
MN=0.5
BRANCH=stable_$MN
3. Check out the branch to be released, make sure it is up to date with upstream, and
create a topic branch for the version to be released:
.. code-block:: text
git status # Double check the work directory is clean
git checkout $BRANCH
git pull
git checkout -b release_$MNU
4. Edit the change log:
.. code-block:: text
vi docs/changes.rst
and make the following changes in the section of the version to be released:
* Finalize the version to the version to be released.
* Remove the statement that the version is in development.
* Change the release date to today´s date.
* Make sure that all changes are described.
* Make sure the items shown in the change log are relevant for and understandable
by users.
* In the "Known issues" list item, remove the link to the issue tracker and add
text for any known issues you want users to know about.
* Remove all empty list items in that section.
5. Commit your changes and push them upstream:
.. code-block:: text
git add docs/changes.rst
git commit -sm "Release $MNU"
git push --set-upstream origin release_$MNU
6. On GitHub, create a Pull Request for branch ``release_$MNU``. This will trigger the
CI runs in Travis and Appveyor.
Important: When creating Pull Requests, GitHub by default targets the ``master``
branch. If you are releasing a stable branch, you need to change the target branch
of the Pull Request to ``stable_M.N``.
7. On GitHub, close milestone ``M.N.U``.
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. On GitHub, once the checks for this Pull Request succeed:
* Merge the Pull Request (no review is needed).
Because this updates the ``stable_M.N`` branch, it triggers an RTD docs build of
its stable version. However, because the git tag for this version is not assigned
yet, this RTD build will show an incorrect version (a dev version based on the
previous version tag). This will be fixed in a subsequent step.
* Delete the branch of the Pull Request (``release_M.N.U``)
10. Checkout the branch you are releasing, update it from upstream, and delete the local
topic branch you created:
.. code-block:: text
git checkout $BRANCH
git pull
git branch -d release_$MNU
11. Tag the version:
Important: This is the basis on which 'pbr' determines the package version. The tag
string must be exactly the version string ``M.N.U``.
Create a tag for the new version and push the tag addition upstream:
.. code-block:: text
git status # Double check the branch to be released is checked out
git tag $MNU
git push --tags
The pushing of the tag triggers another RTD docs build of its stable version, this time
with the correct version as defined in the tag.
If the previous commands fail because this tag already exists for some reason, delete
the tag locally and remotely:
.. code-block:: text
git tag --delete $MNU
git push --delete origin $MNU
and try again.
12. On RTD, verify that it shows the correct version for its stable version:
RTD stable version: https://zhmc-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/stable.
If it does not, trigger a build of RTD version "stable" on the RTD project
page:
RTD build page: https://readthedocs.org/projects/zhmc-ansible-modules/builds/
Once that build is complete, verify again.
13. On GitHub, edit the new tag ``M.N.U``, and create a release description on it. This
will cause it to appear in the Release tab.
You can see the tags in GitHub via Code -> Releases -> Tags.
14. Do a fresh install of this version in your active Python environment. This ensures
that 'pbr' determines the correct version. Otherwise, it may determine some development
version.
.. code-block:: text
make clobber install
make help # Double check that it shows version ``M.N.U``
15. Upload the package to PyPI:
.. code-block:: text
make upload
This will show the package version and will ask for confirmation.
**Important:** Double check that the correct package version (``M.N.U``,
without any development suffix) is shown.
**Attention!!** This only works once for each version. You cannot
re-release the same version to PyPI, or otherwise update it.
Verify that the released version arrived on PyPI:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zhmc-ansible-modules/
16. If you released the master branch, it needs a new fix stream.
Create a branch for its fix stream and push it upstream:
.. code-block:: text
git status # Double check the branch to be released is checked out
git checkout -b stable_$MN
git push --set-upstream origin stable_$MN
Log on to the
`RTD project zhmc-ansible-modules `_
and activate the new version (=branch) ``stable_M.N`` as a version to be
built.
.. _`Starting a new version`:
Starting a new version
----------------------
This section shows the steps for starting development of a new version.
These steps may be performed right after the steps for
:ref:`releasing a version`, or independently.
This section covers all variants of new versions:
* A new major or minor version for new development based upon the master branch.
* A new update (=fix) version based on a stable branch.
This description assumes that you are authorized to push to the upstream repo
at https://github.com/zhmcclient/zhmc-ansible-modules and that the upstream repo
has the remote name ``origin`` in your local clone.
1. Switch to your work directory of your local clone of the zhmc-ansible-modules Git
repo and perform the following steps in that directory.
2. Set shell variables for the version to be started and its base branch:
* ``MNU`` - Full version number M.N.U of the new version to be started
* ``MN`` - Major and minor version numbers M.N of that full version
* ``BRANCH`` - Name of the branch the new version is based upon
When starting a (major or minor) version (e.g. ``0.6.0``) based on the master branch:
.. code-block:: text
MNU=0.6.0
MN=0.6
BRANCH=master
When starting an update (=fix) version (e.g. ``0.5.1``) based on a stable branch:
.. code-block:: text
MNU=0.5.1
MN=0.5
BRANCH=stable_$MN
3. Check out the branch the new version is based on, make sure it is up to
date with upstream, and create a topic branch for the new version:
.. code-block:: text
git status # Double check the work directory is clean
git checkout $BRANCH
git pull
git checkout -b start_$MNU
4. Edit the change log:
.. code-block:: text
vi docs/changes.rst
and insert the following section before the top-most section:
.. code-block:: text
Version 0.6.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Released: not yet
**Incompatible changes:**
**Deprecations:**
**Bug fixes:**
**Enhancements:**
**Known issues:**
* See `list of open issues`_.
.. _`list of open issues`: https://github.com/zhmcclient/zhmc-ansible-modules/issues
5. Commit your changes and push them upstream:
.. code-block:: text
git add docs/changes.rst
git commit -sm "Start $MNU"
git push --set-upstream origin start_$MNU
6. On GitHub, create a Pull Request for branch ``start_M.N.U``.
Important: When creating Pull Requests, GitHub by default targets the ``master``
branch. If you are starting based on a stable branch, you need to change the
target branch of the Pull Request to ``stable_M.N``.
7. On GitHub, create a milestone for the new version ``M.N.U``.
You can create a milestone in GitHub via Issues -> Milestones -> New
Milestone.
8. 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.
9. On GitHub, once the checks for this Pull Request succeed:
* Merge the Pull Request (no review is needed)
* Delete the branch of the Pull Request (``start_M.N.U``)
10. Checkout the branch the new version is based on, update it from upstream, and
delete the local topic branch you created:
.. code-block:: text
git checkout $BRANCH
git pull
git branch -d start_$MNU
