Steve Martinelli 0e89d08434 docs: pip install -e needs an argument
The arguments to install the development branch is incorrect, since
the -e option needs a directory to look for setup.py in.

Developing with OpenStackClient
===============================
Communication
-------------
Meetings
=========
The OpenStackClient team meets regularly on every Thursday. For details
please refer to the `wiki`_.
.. _`wiki`: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/OpenStackClient
Testing
-------
Using ``tox``
=============
Before running tests, you should have ``tox`` installed and available in your
environment:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install tox
To execute the full suite of tests maintained within OpenStackClient, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox
.. NOTE::
The first time you run ``tox``, it will take additional time to build
virtualenvs. You can later use the ``-r`` option with ``tox`` to rebuild
your virtualenv in a similar manner.
To run tests for one or more specific test environments (for example, the most
common configuration of Python 2.7 and PEP-8), list the environments with the
``-e`` option, separated by spaces:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e py27,pep8
See ``tox.ini`` for the full list of available test environments.
Running functional tests
========================
OpenStackClient also maintains a set of functional tests that are optimally
designed to be run against OpenStack's gate. Optionally, a developer may
choose to run these tests against any OpenStack deployment, however depending
on the services available, results will vary.
To run the entire suite of functional tests:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e functional
To run a specific functional test:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e functional -- --regex functional.tests.compute.v2.test_server
Running with PDB
================
Using PDB breakpoints with ``tox`` and ``testr`` normally doesn't work since
the tests fail with a `BdbQuit` exception rather than stopping at the
breakpoint.
To run with PDB breakpoints during testing, use the `debug` ``tox`` environment
rather than ``py27``. Here's an example, passing the name of a test since
you'll normally only want to run the test that hits your breakpoint:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e debug opentackclient.tests.identity.v3.test_group
For reference, the `debug` ``tox`` environment implements the instructions
here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testr#Debugging_.28pdb.29_Tests
Building the Documentation
--------------------------
The documentation is generated with Sphinx using the ``tox`` command. To
create HTML docs, run the following:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e docs
The resultant HTML will be the ``doc/build/html`` directory.
Testing new code
----------------
If a developer wants to test new code (feature, command or option) that
they have written, OpenStackClient may be installed from source by running
the following commands in the base directory of the project:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python setup.py develop
or
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install -e .
