How to Set up a Development Environment on MacOS X
Notes for hacking and cleaning on Nova on MacOS X
Bazaar and Launchpad
OpenStack uses Launchpad, so you need to install the Bazaar client tools. See also [[[LifeWithBzrAndLaunchpad|| learning BZR and Launchpad]]])
brew install bzr
Register your username (your username substitues for heckj):
bzr lp-login heckj
Checkout the Nova trunk.
bzr branch lp:nova
Install Python Dependencies
Use Python's easy_install to install virtualenv
sudo easy_install virtualenv
Initial code setup
Initial Code Setup:
cd nova python tools/install_venv.py source .nova_venv/bin/activate pip install pep8 # submitting patch so that Nova has pep8 and pylint in PIP requirements file pip install pylint
OpenSSL Dependency
If you have installed OpenSSL 1.0.0a on MacOS, which can happen when installing a MacPorts package for OpenSSL, you will see an error when running nova.tests.auth_unittest.AuthTestCase.test_209_can_generate_x509. The version that functions correctly is OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5, installed with MacOS 10.6 as a base element.
There is no easy way to install an older package version using macports, but if it had been installed you can reactivate it.
sudo port activate openssl @0.9.8n_0+darwin
The alternative is to remove it and use the default OSX openssl. This will give you dependency errors on the port command, so you need to force it.
sudo - f port uninstall openssl
Run the Tests
cd nova bzr pull # get the latest stuff... source .nova_venv/bin/activate ./run_tests.sh #... do cleaning work ... bzr push lp:~heckj/nova/cleaning
To submit the merge/patch:
- navigate to https://code.launchpad.net/~heckj/nova/cleaning
- click on the link "Propose for merging"
Open questions
- Once merged in and accepted, does the proposal get closed?
Once a proposal is reviewed, merged, and accepted, Launchpad sets the branch status to "Merged" which effectively closes the proposal.
- Do we then delete this branch and create another with the next cleaning/merge request?
Yes, a branch can be deleted locally and you just create another branch next time you want to modify code to be merged into another branch.
- Or do we make more changes, push to this branch, and then submit another merge request?
You can do either though the merging is more complicated the further from trunk that your branch gets, I believe.
