Data.gov

Data.gov is an open data website created by the U.S. General Services Administration that is based on two robust open source projects: CKAN and WordPress. The data catalog at catalog.data.gov is powered by CKAN, while the content seen at Data.gov is powered by WordPress.

For all code, bugs, and feature requests related to Data.gov, see the project wide Data.gov issue tracker.

Currently this repository is only used for source version control on the code for the CKAN extension for datagovcatalog features, but you can see all of the Data.gov relevant repos listed in the GSA Data.gov README file.

Requirements

For example, you might want to mention here which versions of CKAN this extension works with.

Package	Notes
ckanext-harvest	This currently has two different version for py2 and py3 until this PR is merged upstream
ckanext-envvars	This is necessary based on how the testing environment is set up.

Installation

CKAN version	Compatibility
<=2.8	no
2.9	yes

To install ckanext-datagovcatalog:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example::

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Install the ckanext-datagovcatalog Python package into your virtual environment::

   pip install ckanext-datagovcatalog

3. Add datagovcatalog to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/production.ini).

4. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu::

   sudo service apache2 reload

Config Settings

comment: <> (Document any optional config settings here. For example::

# Add tracking info on each package for the dataset lists
# (optional, default: true).
ckanext.datagovcatalog.add_packages_tracking_info = true)

Development Installation

To install ckanext-datagovcatalog for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and do::

git clone https://github.com/GSA/ckanext-datagovcatalog.git
cd ckanext-datagovcatalog
python setup.py develop
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

**Note: use the py2-equivalents of the requirement files if running on python 2.

Running the Tests

Tests

Using the Docker Dev Environment

Build Environment

To start environment, run: make build make up

CKAN will start at localhost:5000

To shut down environment, run:

make clean

To docker exec into the CKAN image, run:

docker-compose exec app /bin/bash

Testing

They follow the guidelines for testing CKAN extensions.

To run the extension tests,

$ make test

Lint the code.

$ make lint

Matrix builds

The existing development environment assumes a minimal catalog.data.gov test setup. This makes it difficult to develop and test against dependencies with other extensions.

In order to support multiple versions of CKAN, or even upgrade to new versions of CKAN, we support development and testing through the CKAN_VERSION environment variable.

$ make CKAN_VERSION=2.9 test
