idem-darwin 8

Vertical app merge components for Idem and grains support on Darwin

Grains, execution modules, and state modules common to all darwin systems

INSTALLATION

Install idem-darwin directly from pip:

pip install idem-darwin

DEVELOPMENT INSTALLATION

Clone the idem_darwin repo and install with pip:

git clone https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/idem-darwin.git idem_darwin
pip install -e idem_darwin

EXECUTION

After installation the grains command should now be available

TESTING

install requirements-test.txt with pip and run pytest:

pip install -r idem_darwin/requirements-test.txt
pytest idem_darwin/tests

VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending idem-darwin into an OS-specific idem project

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem_{specific_darwin_os}
cd idem_{specific_darwin_os}

Use pop-seed to generate the structure of a project that extends grains and idem:

pop-seed -t v idem_{specific_darwin_os} -d grains exec states

• “-t v” specifies that this is a vertically app-merged project

• “-d grains exec states” says that we want to implement the dynamic names of “grains”, “exec”, and “states”

Add “idem_darwin” to the requirements.txt:

echo idem-darwin >> requirements.txt

And that’s it! Go to town making grains, execution modules, and state modules specific to your specific darwin-based platform. Follow the conventions you see in idem_darwin.
