The oops_timeline package provides integration glue between timeline objects (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timeline) and the oops error reporting system (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oops).

Dependencies

• Python 2.6+

• oops (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oops)

• timeline (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timeline)

Testing Dependencies

• subunit (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-subunit) (optional)

• testtools (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/testtools)

Usage

oops_timeline provides an oops on_create hook to extract timeline data from oops_context[‘timeline’] and inject it into the oops report as primitive data.

• Setup your configuration:

  >>> from oops import Config
  >>> config = Config()

Note that you will probably want at least one publisher, or your reports will be discarded.

• Add in the timneline hook to the config:

  >>> oops_timeline.install_hooks(config)

This is a convenience function in case additional hooks are needed in future.

For more information see pydoc oops_timeline.

Installation

Either run setup.py in an environment with all the dependencies available, or add the working directory to your PYTHONPATH.

Development

Upstream development takes place at https://launchpad.net/python-oops-timeline. To setup a working area for development, if the dependencies are not immediately available, you can use ./bootstrap.py to create bin/buildout, then bin/py to get a python interpreter with the dependencies available.

To run the tests use the runner of your choice, the test suite is oops.tests.test_suite.

For instance:

$ bin/py -m testtools.run oops_timeline.tests.test_suite
