API-Site repository
+++++++++++++++++++
This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.
For details, see the
`OpenStack Documentation wiki page <http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation>`_,
which includes these pages and PDFs:
* API Quick Start
* API Guide (in progress)
In addition to these documents, this repository contains:
* Landing page for developer.openstack.org: ``www``
* Writing your first OpenStack application tutorial (in progress): ``firstapp``
The files in the ``api-ref`` directory cannot be changed because they are
moving to project repositories.
To complete code reviews in this repository, use the standard OpenStack Gerrit
`workflow <https://review.openstack.org>`_ . For details, see
`Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.
Prerequisites
=============
To build the documentation locally, you must install Python and `Python Tox <https://tox.readthedocs.org/>`_.
To install Tox for Ubuntu 14.04 or later::
apt-get install python-tox python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
To build all the documentation after installing Python and Tox::
tox -e docs
To build an individual document, such as the API Quick Start::
tox -e api-quick-start
The locally-built output files are found in a ``publish-docs`` directory.
"Writing your First OpenStack Application" tutorial
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To build the "Writing your first OpenStack application" tutorial, you must
install `Graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/>`_.
To install Graphviz for Ubuntu 12.04 or later or Debian 7 ("wheezy") or later::
apt-get install graphviz
On Fedora 22 and later::
dnf install graphviz
On openSUSE::
zypper install graphviz
On Mac OSX with Homebrew installed::
brew install graphviz
Build and update API docs
=========================
Refer to the `OpenStack Documentation Contributor Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/api-guides.html>` for more
information.
Run tests
=========
To use the same tests that are used as part of our Jenkins gating jobs,
install the Python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level directory.
To run individual tests:
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - Niceness tests
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - Syntax checks
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - Verifies that no deleted files are referenced
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - Builds all of the documents in this repository
To run these tests, the Tox package uses the
`OpenStack doc tools package <https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_.
