Developer Quick-Start

Developer Quick-Start

This is a quick walkthrough to get you started developing code for Mogan. This assumes you are already familiar with submitting code reviews to an OpenStack project.

The gate currently runs the unit tests under Python 2.7, Python 3.4 and Python 3.5. It is strongly encouraged to run the unit tests locally prior to submitting a patch.

Note

Do not run unit tests on the same environment as devstack due to conflicting configuration with system dependencies.

Note

This document is compatible with Python (3.5), Ubuntu (16.04) and Fedora (23). When referring to different versions of Python and OS distributions, this is explicitly stated.

Preparing Development System

System Prerequisites

The following packages cover the prerequisites for a local development environment on most current distributions. Instructions for getting set up with non-default versions of Python and on older distributions are included below as well.

  • Ubuntu/Debian:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev git git-review libffi-dev gettext ipmitool psmisc graphviz libjpeg-dev xinetd tftpd tftp

  • Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:

    sudo yum install python-devel openssl-devel python-pip mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel git git-review libffi-devel gettext ipmitool psmisc graphviz gcc libjpeg-turbo-devel

    If using RHEL and yum reports “No package python-pip available” and “No package git-review available”, use the EPEL software repository. Instructions can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse.

  • Fedora 22 or higher:

    sudo dnf install python-devel openssl-devel python-pip mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel git git-review libffi-devel gettext ipmitool psmisc graphviz gcc libjpeg-turbo-devel

    Additionally, if using Fedora 23, redhat-rpm-config package should be installed so that development virtualenv can be built successfully.

  • openSUSE/SLE 12:

    sudo zypper install git git-review libffi-devel libmysqlclient-devel libopenssl-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel postgresql-devel python-devel python-nose python-pip gettext-runtime psmisc

    Graphviz is only needed for generating the state machine diagram. To install it on openSUSE or SLE 12, see https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=graphics&package=graphviz-plugins.

(Optional) Installing Py34 requirements

If you need Python 3.4, follow the instructions above to install prerequisites and additionally install the following packages:

  • On Ubuntu 14.x/Debian:

    sudo apt-get install python3-dev

  • On Ubuntu 16.04:

    wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.4/Python-3.4.4.tgz
sudo tar xzf Python-3.4.4.tgz
cd Python-3.4.4
sudo ./configure
sudo make altinstall

# This will install Python 3.4 without replacing 3.5. To check if 3.4 was installed properly
run this command:

python3.4 -V

  • On Fedora 21/RHEL7/CentOS7:

    sudo yum install python3-devel

  • On Fedora 22 and higher:

    sudo dnf install python3-devel

(Optional) Installing Py35 requirements

If you need Python 3.5 support on an older distro that does not already have it, follow the instructions for installing prerequisites above and additionally run the following commands.

  • On Ubuntu 14.04:

    wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/Python-3.5.2.tgz
sudo tar xzf Python-3.5.2.tgz
cd Python-3.5.2
sudo ./configure
sudo make altinstall

# This will install Python 3.5 without replacing 3.4. To check if 3.5 was installed properly
run this command:

python3.5 -V

  • On Fedora 23:

    sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf copr enable -y mstuchli/Python3.5
dnf install -y python35-python3

Python Prerequisites

If your distro has at least tox 1.8, use similar command to install python-tox package. Otherwise install this on all distros:

sudo pip install -U tox

You may need to explicitly upgrade virtualenv if you’ve installed the one from your OS distribution and it is too old (tox will complain). You can upgrade it individually, if you need to:

sudo pip install -U virtualenv

Running Unit Tests Locally

If you haven’t already, Mogan source code should be pulled directly from git:

# from your home or source directory
cd ~
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/mogan
cd mogan

Running Unit and Style Tests

All unit tests should be run using tox. To run Mogan’s entire test suite:

# to run the py27, py34, py35 unit tests, and the style tests
tox

To run a specific test or tests, use the “-e” option followed by the tox target name. For example:

# run the unit tests under py27 and also run the pep8 tests
tox -epy27 -epep8

Note

If tests are run under py27 and then run under py34 or py35 the following error may occur:

db type could not be determined
ERROR: InvocationError: '/home/ubuntu/mogan/.tox/py35/bin/ostestr'

To overcome this error remove the file .testrepository/times.dbm and then run the py34 or py35 test.

You may pass options to the test programs using positional arguments. To run a specific unit test, this passes the -r option and desired test (regex string) to os-testr:

# run a specific test for Python 2.7
tox -epy27 -- -r test_name

Debugging unit tests

In order to break into the debugger from a unit test we need to insert a breaking point to the code:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Then run tox with the debug environment as one of the following:

tox -e debug
tox -e debug test_file_name
tox -e debug test_file_name.TestClass
tox -e debug test_file_name.TestClass.test_name

For more information see the oslotest documentation.

Additional Tox Targets

There are several additional tox targets not included in the default list, such as the target which builds the documentation site. See the tox.ini file for a complete listing of tox targets. These can be run directly by specifying the target name:

# generate the documentation pages locally
tox -edocs

# generate the sample configuration file
tox -egenconfig

Deploying Mogan with DevStack

DevStack may be configured to deploy Mogan, It is easy to develop Mogan with the devstack environment. Mogan depends on Ironic, Neutron, and Glance to create and schedule virtual machines to simulate bare metal servers. It is highly recommended to deploy on an expendable virtual machine and not on your personal work station. Deploying Mogan with DevStack requires a machine running Ubuntu 14.04 (or later) or Fedora 20 (or later). Make sure your machine is fully up to date and has the latest packages installed before beginning this process.

https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/

Devstack will no longer create the user ‘stack’ with the desired permissions, but does provide a script to perform the task:

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack.git devstack
sudo ./devstack/tools/create-stack-user.sh

Switch to the stack user and clone DevStack:

sudo su - stack
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack.git devstack

Create devstack/local.conf with minimal settings required to enable Mogan:

cd devstack
cat >local.conf <<END
[[local|localrc]]

Note

Git protocol requires access to port 9418, which is not a standard port that corporate firewalls always allow. If you are behind a firewall or on a proxy that blocks Git protocol, modify the enable_plugin line to use https:// instead of git:// and add GIT_BASE=https://git.openstack.org to the credentials:

GIT_BASE=https://git.openstack.org

# Enable Mogan plugin
enable_plugin mogan https://git.openstack.org/openstack/mogan

Run stack.sh:

./stack.sh

Source credentials, and spawn a server as the demo user:

source ~/devstack/openrc

# query the image id of the default cirros image
image=$(openstack image show $DEFAULT_IMAGE_NAME -f value -c id)

# query the private network id
net=$(openstack network show private -f value -c id)

# spawn a server
openstack baremetalcompute server create --flavor $MOGAN_DEFAULT_FLAVOR --nic net-id=$net --image $image test

Building developer documentation

If you would like to build the documentation locally, eg. to test your documentation changes before uploading them for review, run these commands to build the documentation set:

  • On your local machine:

    # activate your development virtualenv
source .tox/venv/bin/activate

# build the docs
tox -edocs

#Now use your browser to open the top-level index.html located at:
mogan/doc/build/html/index.html

  • On a remote machine:

    # Go to the directory that contains the docs
cd ~/mogan/doc/source/

# Build the docs
tox -edocs

# Change directory to the newly built HTML files
cd ~/mogan/doc/build/html/

# Create a server using python on port 8000
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

#Now use your browser to open the top-level index.html located at:
http://host_ip:8000
