Setting Up a Development Environment
====================================
This page describes how to setup a working Python development
environment that can be used in developing cinder on Ubuntu, Fedora or
Mac OS X. These instructions assume you're already familiar with
git. Refer to GettingTheCode_ for additional information.
.. _GettingTheCode: http://wiki.openstack.org/GettingTheCode
Following these instructions will allow you to run the cinder unit tests.
Running cinder is currently only supported on Linux, although you can run the
unit tests on Mac OS X.
Virtual environments
--------------------
Cinder 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 cinder
directory), instead of installing the packages at the system level.
.. note::
Virtualenv is useful for running the unit tests, but is not
typically used for full integration testing or production usage.
Linux Systems
-------------
.. note::
Feel free to add notes and change according to your experiences or operating system.
Install the prerequisite packages.
On Ubuntu (tested on 12.04-64 and 14.04-64)::
sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev python-pip git-core libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev libffi-dev libxslt-dev
On Fedora-based distributions e.g., Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux (tested on CentOS 6.5)::
sudo yum install python-virtualenv openssl-devel python-pip git gcc libffi-devel libxslt-devel mysql-devel postgresql-devel
On openSUSE-based distributions (SLES 12, openSUSE 13.1, Factory or Tumbleweed)::
sudo zypper install gcc git libmysqlclient-devel libopenssl-devel postgresql-devel python-devel python-pip
Mac OS X Systems
----------------
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
``cinder.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 cinder.
Getting the code
----------------
Grab the code::
git clone https://github.com/openstack/cinder.git
cd cinder
Running unit tests
------------------
Run the unit tests by doing::
tox -e py35
tox -e py27
See :doc:`testing` for more details.
.. _virtualenv:
Manually installing and using the virtualenv
--------------------------------------------
You can also manually install the virtual environment::
tox -e py27 --notest
or::
tox -e py35 --notest
This will install all of the Python packages listed in the
``requirements.txt`` file into your virtualenv.
To activate the Cinder virtualenv you can run::
$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
or::
$ source .tox/py35/bin/activate
To exit your virtualenv, just type::
$ deactivate
Or, if you prefer, you can run commands in the virtualenv on a case by case
basis by running::
$ tox -e venv -- <your command>
Contributing Your Work
----------------------
Once your work is complete you may wish to contribute it to the project.
Cinder uses the Gerrit code review system. For information on how to submit
your branch to Gerrit, see GerritWorkflow_.
