Documented how to run unit tests Added docs about what's on Launchpad Added docs on Gerrit with pointers to wiki. Added docs on Jenkins: how to access, what it does Clarified that running unit tests doesn't mean you can fully run OpenStack. Change-Id: I33fa9d2f271631a1a9aceaa5d4fd465198bf51d4

Setting Up a Development Environment
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
This page describes how to setup a working Python development environment that
|
|
can be used in developing nova on Ubuntu, Fedora or Mac OS X. These
|
|
instructions assume you're already familiar with git. Refer to
|
|
http://wiki.openstack.org/GettingTheCode for additional information.
|
|
|
|
Following these instructions will allow you to run the nova unit tests. If you
|
|
want to be able to run nova (i.e., launch VM instances), you will also need to
|
|
install libvirt and at least one of the `supported
|
|
hypervisors`<http://wiki.openstack.org/HypervisorSupportMatrix>_. Running
|
|
nova is currently only supported on Linux, although you can run
|
|
the unit tests on Mac OS X. See :doc:`quickstart` for how to get a working
|
|
version of OpenStack Compute running as quickly as possible.
|
|
|
|
Virtual environments
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Nova development uses `virtualenv <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_
|
|
to track and manage Python dependencies while in development and testing. This
|
|
allows you to install all of the Python package dependencies in a virtual
|
|
environment or `virtualenv` (a special subdirectory of your nova directory),
|
|
instead of installing the packages at the system level.
|
|
|
|
Virtualenv is useful for running the unit tests, but is not typically used
|
|
for full integration testing or production usage.
|
|
|
|
Linux Systems
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Note: This section is tested for Nova on Ubuntu (10.10-64) and
|
|
Fedora-based (RHEL 6.1) distributions. Feel free to add notes and change
|
|
according to your experiences or operating system.
|
|
|
|
Install the prerequisite packages.
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-dev swig libssl-dev python-pip git-core
|
|
|
|
On Fedora-based distributions (e.g., Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux)::
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install python-devel swig openssl-devel python-pip git
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X Systems
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Install swig, which is needed to build the M2Crypto Python package. If you are
|
|
using the `homebrew <http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>`_, package manager,
|
|
install swig by doing::
|
|
|
|
brew install swig
|
|
|
|
Install virtualenv::
|
|
|
|
sudo easy_install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
Check the version of OpenSSL you have installed::
|
|
|
|
openssl version
|
|
|
|
If you have installed OpenSSL 1.0.0a, which can happen when installing a
|
|
MacPorts package for OpenSSL, you will see an error when running
|
|
``nova.tests.auth_unittest.AuthTestCase.test_209_can_generate_x509``.
|
|
|
|
The stock version of OpenSSL that ships with Mac OS X 10.6 (OpenSSL 0.9.8l)
|
|
or Mac OS X 10.7 (OpenSSL 0.9.8r) works fine with nova.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting the code
|
|
----------------
|
|
Grab the code from GitHub::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/openstack/nova.git
|
|
cd nova
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running unit tests
|
|
------------------
|
|
The unit tests will run by default inside a virtualenv in the ``.nova-venv``
|
|
directory. Run the unit tests by doing::
|
|
|
|
./run_tests.sh
|
|
|
|
The first time you run them, you will be asked if you want to create a virtual
|
|
environment (hit "y")::
|
|
|
|
No virtual environment found...create one? (Y/n)
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`unit_tests` for more details.
|
|
|
|
.. _virtualenv:
|
|
|
|
Manually installing and using the virtualenv
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can manually install the virtual environment instead of having
|
|
``run_tests.sh`` do it for you::
|
|
|
|
python tools/install_venv.py
|
|
|
|
This will install all of the Python packages listed in the
|
|
``tools/pip-requires`` file into your virtualenv. There will also be some
|
|
additional packages (pip, distribute, greenlet, M2Crypto) that are installed
|
|
by the ``tools/install_venv.py`` file into the virutalenv.
|
|
|
|
If all goes well, you should get a message something like this::
|
|
|
|
Nova development environment setup is complete.
|
|
|
|
To activate the Nova virtualenv for the extent of your current shell session
|
|
you can run::
|
|
|
|
$ source .nova-venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
Or, if you prefer, you can run commands in the virtualenv on a case by case
|
|
basis by running::
|
|
|
|
$ tools/with_venv.sh <your command>
|
|
|
|
Contributing Your Work
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Once your work is complete you may wish to contribute it to the project. Add
|
|
your name and email address to the `Authors` file, and also to the `.mailmap`
|
|
file if you use multiple email addresses. Your contributions can not be merged
|
|
into trunk unless you are listed in the Authors file. Nova uses the Gerrit
|
|
code review system. For information on how to submit your branch to Gerrit,
|
|
see http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow
