============ Contributing ============ Some ground rules: * To avoid disappointment, new features should be discussed on the mailing list (django-oscar@googlegroups.com) before serious work starts. * Write tests! Pull requests will be rejected if sufficient tests aren't provided. See the guidance below on the testing conventions that Oscar uses. * Write docs! Please update the documentation when altering behaviour or introducing new features. * Write good commit messages: see `Tim Pope's excellent note`_. .. _`Tim Pope's excellent note`: http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html * Make pull requests against Oscar's master branch unless instructed otherwise. Installation ============ After forking, run:: git clone git@github.com:/django-oscar.git cd django-oscar mkvirtualenv oscar # optional but recommended make install Running tests ============= Oscar uses a nose_ testrunner which can be invoked using:: ./runtests.py .. _nose: http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ To run a subset of tests, you can use filesystem or module paths. These two commands will run the same set of tests:: ./runtests.py tests/unit/order ./runtests.py tests.unit.order To run an individual test class, use one of:: ./runtests.py tests/unit/order:TestSuccessfulOrderCreation ./runtests.py tests.unit.order:TestSuccessfulOrderCreation (Note the ':'.) To run an individual test, use one of:: ./runtests.py tests/unit/order:TestSuccessfulOrderCreation.test_creates_order_and_line_models ./runtests.py tests.unit.order:TestSuccessfulOrderCreation.test_creates_order_and_line_models Oscar's testrunner uses the progressive_ plugin when running all tests, but uses the spec_ plugin when running a subset. It is a good practice to name your test cases and methods so that the spec output reads well. For example:: $ ./runtests.py tests/unit/offer/benefit_tests.py:TestAbsoluteDiscount nosetests --verbosity 1 tests/unit/offer/benefit_tests.py:TestAbsoluteDiscount -s -x --with-spec Creating test database for alias 'default'... Absolute discount - consumes all lines for multi item basket cheaper than threshold - consumes all products for heterogeneous basket - consumes correct quantity for multi item basket more expensive than threshold - correctly discounts line - discount is applied to lines - gives correct discount for multi item basket cheaper than threshold - gives correct discount for multi item basket more expensive than threshold - gives correct discount for multi item basket with max affected items set - gives correct discount for single item basket cheaper than threshold - gives correct discount for single item basket equal to threshold - gives correct discount for single item basket more expensive than threshold - gives correct discounts when applied multiple times - gives correct discounts when applied multiple times with condition - gives no discount for a non discountable product - gives no discount for an empty basket ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 15 tests in 0.295s .. _progressive: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose-progressive/ .. _spec: http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/pinocchio/doc/#spec-generate-test-description-from-test-class-method-names Playing in the sandbox ====================== Oscar ships with a 'sandbox' site which can be run locally to play around with Oscar using a browser. Set it up by:: make sandbox cd sites/sandbox ./manage.py runserver This will create the database and load some fixtures for categories and shipping countries. Vagrant ======= Oscar ships with a Vagrant_ virtual machine that can be used to test integration with various services in a controlled environment. For instance, it is used to test that the migrations run correctly in both MySQL and Postgres. .. _Vagrant: http://vagrantup.com/ Building the Vagrant machine ---------------------------- To create the machine, first ensure that vagrant_ and puppet_ are installed. You will require a puppet version that supports ``puppet module install``, that is > 2.7.14. Now run:: make puppet .. _vagrant: http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/index.html .. _puppet: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html to fetch the required puppet modules for provisioning. Finally, run:: vagrant up to create the virtual machine and provision it. Testing migrations against MySQL and Postgres --------------------------------------------- To test the migrations against MySQL and Postgres, do the following: 1. SSH onto the VM:: vagrant ssh 2. Change to sandbox folder and activate virtualenv:: cd /vagrant/sites/sandbox source /var/www/virtualenv/bin/activate 3. Run helper script:: ./test_migrations.sh This will recreate the Oscar database in both MySQL and Postgres and rebuild it using ``syncdb`` and ``migrate``. Testing WSGI server configurations ---------------------------------- You can browse the Oscar sandbox site in two ways: * Start Django's development server on port 8000:: vagrant ssh cd /vagrant/sites/sandbox source /var/www/virtualenv/bin/activate ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 The Vagrant machine forwards port 8000 to post 8080 and so the site can be accessed at http://localhost:8080 on your host machine. * The Vagrant machine install Apache2 and mod_wsgi. You can browse the site through Apache at http://localhost:8081 on your host machine. Writing docs ============ There's a helper script for building the docs locally:: cd docs ./test_docs.sh Conventions =========== General ------- * PEP8 everywhere while remaining sensible URLs ---- * List pages should use plurals; e.g. ``/products/``, ``/notifications/`` * Detail pages should simply be a PK/slug on top of the list page; e.g. ``/products/the-bible/``, ``/notifications/1/`` * Create pages should have 'create' as the final path segment; e.g. ``/dashboard/notifications/create/`` * Update pages are sometimes the same as detail pages (i.e., when in the dashboard). In those cases, just use the detail convention, eg ``/dashboard/notifications/3/``. If there is a distinction between the detail page and the update page, use ``/dashboard/notifications/3/update/``. * Delete pages; e.g., ``/dashboard/notifications/3/delete/`` View class names ---------------- Classes should be named according to:: '%s%sView' % (class_name, verb) For example, ``ProductUpdateView``, ``OfferCreateView`` and ``PromotionDeleteView``. This doesn't fit all situations, but it's a good basis.
