Ubuntu Make

Ubuntu Make is a project designed to enable quick and easy setup of common needs for developers on Ubuntu.

As a first step, it focuses on installing a full-fledged android development environment on the latest Ubuntu LTS (14.04).

/!\ WIP, not ready for consumption yet

Running the command line tool

To run the tool:

$ ./umake

You can use --help to get more information and change the verbosity of the output with -v, -vv.

Requirements

Note that this project uses python3 and requires at least python 3.3. All commands use the python 3 version. There are directions later on explaining how to install the corresponding virtualenv.

Shell completion

To enable shell completion on bash or zsh, just run:

$ . enable_completion

Different level of logging

Multiple logging profiles are available in confs/ to be able to have different traces of your execution (particularly useful for debugging). For instance, you will find:

  • debug.logcfg: Similar to using -vv, but also puts logs in a debug.log.
  • debug_network.logcfg: The root logging level is INFO (-v), the network activities are in DEBUG mode and will be logged in debug_network.log.
  • testing.logcfg: Mostly for coverage tests, do not set any logging config on stdout, but:
  • DEBUG logs and above are available in debug.log.
  • INFO logs and above are available in info.log.
  • WARNING and ERROR logs are available in error.log.

Under normal circumstances, we expect error.log to remain empty../

To load one of those logging profiles:

$ LOG_CFG=confs/debug.logcfg bin/umake

Development

Providing user's framework

It's possible for anyone to have local frameworks for either development purposes or for special local or team use-cases.

  • Any files in a directory set with the "UMAKE_FRAMEWORKS" environment variable will be loaded first.
  • Any files inside ~/.umake/frameworks will be loaded next.

Any file should eventually contain a category or frameworks like the ones in umake/frameworks/*.

If category names are duplicated only one will be loaded. Ubuntu Make will first load the one controlled by the environment variable, then the one located in the home based directory, and finally, the system one. Note that duplicate filenames are supported but not encouraged.

Style guide and checking

We are running pep8, but the max line length has been relaxed to 120. env/ is excluded from the pep8 check as well.

Running this test, in particular:

$ ./runtests pep8

This will run those pep8 checks on the code.

You can also run the pep8 tool directly from the project directory:

$ pep8 .

Tests

Types of tests

There are four types of tests that can be combined in runtests:

  • pep8: Run the pep8 tests on all the umake and test code.
  • small: Tests modules and components with mock content around them. Note that this uses a local webserver (http and https) to serve mock content.
  • medium: Tests the whole workflow. It directly calls end user tools from the command line, but without effecting the local system. Requirements like installing packages are mocked, as well as the usage of a local webserver serving (smaller) content similar to what will be fetched in a real use case. The assets have the same formats and layout.
  • large: Runs the same tests as the medium test, but with real server downloads and installation of dpkg packages. Most of these tests need root privileges. Be aware that these tests only run on a graphical environment. It will interfere with it and it is likely to install or remove packages on your system.

To run all the tests, with coverage report (like in Travis CI):

$ ./runtests

Use --no-config to disable the coverage report selection.

Running some tests with all debug infos

By default, runtests will not display any debug output if the tests are successful, similar to Nose. However, if only some tests are selected, runtests will a display full debug log,

$  ./runtests tests/small/test_tools.py:TestConfigHandler

Use --no-config to disable the debug output selection.

More information on runtests

runtests is a small nose wrapper used to simplify the testing process. By default, if no arguments are supplied or if "all" is supplied, runtests will run all available tests on the project using the production nose configuration. It is possible to run only some types of tests:

$ ./runtests small medium

This will only run small and medium tests, with all nose defaults (no profile is selected).

Finally, you can run a selection of one or more tests:

$ ./runtests tests/small/test_tools.py:TestConfigHandler

This enables the debug profile by default, to display all outputs and logging information (in debug level).

You can activate/disable/change any of those default selected configurations with --config/--coverage/--debug/--no-config (see runtests --help for more information)

Nose configurations

Some nose configurations are available in confs/. You will find:

  • debug.nose: this profile shows all outputs and logging information while turning debug logging on.
  • prod.nose: this profile keep all outputs captured, but display tests coverage results.

Check for python warnings:

runtests is compatible with showing the python warnings:

$ PYTHONWARNINGS=d ./runtests

Create your own environment and run from it

For an easier development workflow, we encourage the use of virtualenv to test and iterate on the project rather than installing all the requirements on your machine. In the project root directory run (env/ is already in .gitignore and excluded from pep8 checking):

$ virtualenv --python=python3 --system-site-packages env
$ sudo apt-get install -qq apt apt-utils libapt-pkg-dev # those are the requirements to compile python-apt
$ sudo apt-get install -qq python3-progressbar python3-gi python3-argcomplete
$ env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
$ source env/bin/activate
$ bin/umake
