ose-workbench-platform 0.1.0a8

Common platform for developing Open Source Ecology (OSE) workbenches.

OSE Workbench Platform

A platform for developing workbenches for Open Source Ecology (OSE).

OSE defines a "workbench" as a set of tools in CAD software to design and make a particular machine.

Each workbench OSE develops for one of it's machines has certain common development-time or "dev-time" needs and dependencies.

For example, running unit tests, making documentation, and generating code to streamline workbench development.

Rather than duplicate the approaches to each of these needs, ose-workbench-platform abstracts those needs into a common platform so they aren't the concern of individual OSE workbench maintainers.

Each workbench maintainer doesn't need to know or care about the particular versions and libraries we use to solve those needs, nor the particular configuration.

Having a common platform for OSE workbench development also makes it easier for developers to readily switch between workbenches by providing a common tool-set.

ose-workbench-platform provides a command-line interface (CLI), via the osewb command, containing commands for common dev-time tasks such as running all tests, making documentation, initializing new workbenches, and even generating code for common tasks.

Pre-Requisites

1. Install Git
2. Install Python
3. Install Docker and Docker Compose

Installation

pip install ose-workbench-platform

After installing, you'll have access to the osewb command:

$ osewb -h ↵
usage: osewb <command> [<args>]
    init - Initialize new workbench
    test - Run all tests in workbench
    docs - Make documentation

A collection of OSE workbench commands.

positional arguments:
  <command>   init, test, docs

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Docker

We use Docker to create a reproducible virtualized FreeCAD environment with requisite dependencies for development-time tasks like running unit tests with features like coverage reports, and generating documentation from source-code comments.

Unit Tests

For running unit tests we use pytest. For running tests with coverage and generating coverage reports, we use coverage.py and pytest-cov.

To run the entire unit-test suite for a workbench, run:

osewb test

For running tests with coverage and generating a coverage report, pass the -c or --coverage flag to the test command:

osewb test --coverage

Documentation

For building documentation we use Sphinx.

To build the documentation for a workbench, run:

osewb docs

Initializing a New Workbench

Navigate to where you want to initialize a directory for your new workbench. Then run:

osewb init

You'll be prompted to enter the machine name in Title Case.

machine_display_name [CEB Brick Press]: Tractor ↵

Then, you'll be prompted for several more values.

Each successive prompt derives it's default value from answers to previous prompts.

You can press the Enter key for most prompts to stick with the defaults.

repo_name [ose-tractor-workbench]: ↵
machine_title [OSE Tractor]: ↵
workbench_title [OSE Tractor Workbench]: ↵
base_package [osetractor]: ↵
command_registry_filename [OSE-Tractor]: ↵
command_namespace [OSETractor]: ↵
workbench_class_filename [tractor_workbench]: ↵
workbench_class_name [TractorWorkbench]: ↵

The above examples initializes a new workbench, in a ose-tractor-workbench directory, with the basic structure and files needed for the workbench.

Generating Code

Within the root of a workbench repository, run the make command.

For example,

osewb make command AddMotor

Will generate a new AddMotor command class.

Developing Locally

Run the following command from the root of the repository:

pip install --editable .

See "Editable Installs" on the pip docs for additional information.

This will give you access to the osewb command locally for testing any changes to the source code.

Deploying to PyPi

From the root of repository:

1. python setup.py sdist

2. twine upload dist/*

   • pip install twine (if not already installed)

You'll be prompted for your PyPi username and password:
