API documentation

This section contains instructions for generating API documentation using sphinx.

Latest Documentation

The latest documentation is available at https://kim-hammar.github.io/csle//docs/csle-attacker

Generate API Documentation

First make sure that the CSLE_HOME environment variable is set:

echo $CSLE_HOME

Then generate the documentation with the commands:

cd docs
sphinx-apidoc -f -o source/ ../src/csle_attacker/
make html

To update the official documentation at https://kim-hammar.github.io/csle/, copy the generated HTML files to the documentation folder:

cp -r build/html ../../../../docs/_docs/csle-attacker

To run all documentation commands at once, use the command:

make docs

Static code analysis

To run the Python linter, execute the following command:

flake8 .
# or (equivalently):
make lint

To run the mypy type checker, execute the following command:

# or (equivalently):
make types

Unit tests

To run the unit tests, execute the following command:

pytest
# or (equivalently):
make unit_tests

To run tests of a specific test suite, execute the following command:

pytest -k "ClassName"

To generate a coverage report, execute the following command:

pytest --cov=csle_attacker

Run tests and code analysis in different python environments

To run tests and code analysis in different python environemnts, execute the following command:

tox
# or (equivalently):
make tests

Create a new release and publish to PyPi

First build the package by executing:

python -m build
# or (equivalently)
make build

After running the command above, the built package is available at ./dist.

Push the built package to PyPi by running:
