Developer setup
===============
In this guide we describe how to set up a developer environment in which one
can easily navigate the source code, make modifications, write and execute unit
tests.
For this, we will use a `virtualenv`_ in which all the |swh| packages will be
installed in 'develop' mode, this will allow you to navigate the source code,
hack it, and run locally the unit tests.
If you want to test the effect of your modifications in a running |swh|
instance, you should check the swh-environment docker `documentation`_.
.. _`documentation`: https://forge.softwareheritage.org/source/swh-environment/browse/master/docker/README.rst?as=remarkup
.. _`virtualenv`: https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/
Install required dependencies
-----------------------------
Software Heritage requires some dependencies that are usually packaged by your
package manager. On Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions::
sudo apt install lsb-release
sudo wget https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/postgresql.asc
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
sudo wget https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cassandra.asc
echo "deb https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 40x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
build-essential pkg-config lzip rsync \
python3 python3-pip python3-venv virtualenvwrapper \
libpython3-dev libsystemd-dev libsvn-dev fuse3 libfuse3-dev \
git myrepos \
postgresql-autodoc graphviz plantuml inkscape \
postgresql libpq-dev cassandra
.. Note:: Python 3.7 or newer is required
This installs basic system utilities, Python library dependencies, development tools,
documentation tools and our main database management systems.
Cassandra and postgresql will be started by tests when they need it, so you
don't need them started globally (this will save you some RAM)::
sudo systemctl stop postgresql
sudo systemctl disable postgresql
sudo systemctl stop cassandra
sudo systemctl disable cassandra
If you intend to hack on the frontend part of |swh| Web Applications, you will also
need to have nodejs >= 12 in your development environment. If the version in your
Debian-based distribution is lower, you can install node 12 using these commands::
sudo wget https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/nodesource.asc
echo "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
If you intend to work on |swh| archive search features, Elasticsearch must also be
present in your development environment. Proceed as follows to install it::
sudo wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/elasticsearch.asc
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install elasticsearch
.. _checkout-source-code:
Checkout the source code
------------------------
Clone the |swh| environment repository::
~$ git clone https://forge.softwareheritage.org/source/swh-environment.git
[...]
~$ cd swh-environment
~/swh-environment$
Create a virtualenv::
~/swh-environment$ source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh
~/swh-environment$ mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 -a $PWD swh
[...]
(swh) ~/swh-environment$
Checkout all the swh packages source repositories::
(swh) ~/swh-environment$ pip install pre-commit
(swh) ~/swh-environment$ ./bin/update
In the future you can re-activate the created virtualenv with::
$ workon swh
(swh) ~/swh-environment$
.. Note:: the above assumes you are using virtualenvwrapper_ to manage your
Python virtualenvs, but that is by no means mandatory. You can use plain
virtualenvs, or any other virtualenv management tool (pipenv_ or poetry_ for
example). virtualenvwrapper_ is our preference, but YMMV.
.. _virtualenvwrapper: https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/
.. _poetry: https://poetry.eustace.io/
.. _pipenv: https://pipenv.readthedocs.io/
Install all the swh packages (in development mode, with testing dependencies)::
(swh) ~/swh-environment$ bin/install
.. note::
If you experience issues with :program:`pip` dependency resolution, try with
``bin/install --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver`` (the flag will be passed on
to ``pip install``). The same flag can also be set globally in
:file:`~/.config/pip/pip.conf`::
[install]
use-deprecated=legacy-resolver
Executing unit tests
--------------------
Unit tests are using the pytest_ framework, and can be executed directly or via
tox_. The main difference between these 2 test execution environments is:
- When executed via tox_, all the dependencies (including swh ones) are
installed from pypi_: you test your modifications against the latest
published version of every swh package but the current one.
- When you execute pytest_ directly, swh dependencies are used from your
current virtualenv, installed from the git repositories: you test your
modification against the HEAD of every swh package.
For example, running unit tests for the swh-loader-git_ package::
(swh) ~/swh-environment$ cd swh-loader-git
(swh) ~/swh-environment/swh-loader-git$ pytest

congratulations :)
Beware that some swh packages require a postgresql server properly configured
to execute the tests. In this case, you will want to use pifpaf_, which will
spawn a temporary instance of postgresql, to encapsulate the call to pytest.
For example, running pytest in the swh-core package::
(swh) ~/swh-environment$ cd swh-core
(swh) ~/swh-environment/swh-core$ pifpaf run postgresql -- pytest

Sending your changes
--------------------
After you are done making the changes you want, you can send them on our
forge_. The best way to do that is to use Arcanist, so we recommend you read
these two guides if you are not familiar with it:
