Contributing

Developer Installation

If you want to help contribute to trio-websocket, then you will need to install additional dependencies that are used for testing and documentation. The following sequence of commands will clone the repository, create a virtual environment, and install the developer dependencies:

$ git clone git@github.com:python-trio/trio-websocket.git
$ cd trio-websocket
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements-dev-full.txt
(venv) $ pip install -e .

This example uses Python’s built-in venv package, but you can of course use other virtual environment tools such as virtualenvwrapper.

The requirements-dev.in and requirements-extras.in files contain extra dependencies only needed for development, such as PyTest, Sphinx, etc. The .in files and setup.py are used to generate the pinned manifests requirements-dev-full.txt and requirements-dev.txt, so that dependencies used in development and CI builds do not change arbitrarily over time.

Unit Tests

Note

This project has unit tests that are configured to run on all pull requests to automatically check for regressions. Each pull request should include unit test coverage before it is merged.

The unit tests are written with the PyTest framework. You can quickly run all unit tests from the project’s root with a simple command:

(venv) $ pytest
=== test session starts ===
platform linux -- Python 3.6.6, pytest-3.8.0, py-1.6.0, pluggy-0.7.1
rootdir: /home/johndoe/code/trio-websocket, inifile: pytest.ini
plugins: trio-0.5.0, cov-2.6.0
collected 27 items

tests/test_connection.py ........................... [100%]

=== 27 passed in 0.41 seconds ===

You can enable code coverage reporting by adding the -cov=trio_websocket option to PyTest or using the Makefile target make test:

(venv) $ pytest --cov=trio_websocket
=== test session starts ===
platform linux -- Python 3.6.6, pytest-3.8.0, py-1.6.0, pluggy-0.7.1

Documentation

This documentation is stored in the repository in the /docs/ directory. It is written with RestructuredText markup and processed by Sphinx. To build documentation, run this command from the project root:

$ make docs

The finished documentation can be found in /docs/_build/. This documentation is published automatically to Read The Docs for all pushes to master or to a tag.

Autobahn Client Tests

The Autobahn Test Suite contains over 500 integration tests for WebSocket servers and clients. These test suites are contained in a Docker container. You will need to install Docker before you can run these integration tests.

To test the client, you will need two terminal windows. In the first terminal, run the following commands:

$ cd autobahn
$ docker run -it --rm \
      -v "${PWD}/config:/config" \
      -v "${PWD}/reports:/reports" \
      -p 9001:9001 \
      --name autobahn \
      crossbario/autobahn-testsuite

The first time you run this command, Docker will download some files, which may take a few minutes. When the test suite is ready, it will display:

Autobahn WebSocket 0.8.0/0.10.9 Fuzzing Server (Port 9001)
Ok, will run 249 test cases for any clients connecting

Now in the second terminal, run the Autobahn client:

$ cd autobahn
$ python client.py ws://localhost:9001
INFO:client:Case count=249
INFO:client:Running test case 1 of 249
INFO:client:Running test case 2 of 249
INFO:client:Running test case 3 of 249
INFO:client:Running test case 4 of 249
INFO:client:Running test case 5 of 249
<snip>

When the client finishes running, an HTML report is published to the autobahn/reports/clients directory. If any tests fail, you can debug individual tests by specifying the integer test case ID (not the dotted test case ID), e.g. to run test case #29:

$ python client.py ws://localhost:9001 29

Autobahn Server Tests

Read the section on Autobahn client tests before you read this section. Once again, you will need two terminal windows. In the first terminal, run:

$ cd autobahn
$ python server.py

In the second terminal, you will run the Docker image:

$ cd autobahn
$ docker run -it --rm \
      -v "${PWD}/config:/config" \
      -v "${PWD}/reports:/reports" \
      -p 9000:9000 \
      --name autobahn \
      crossbario/autobahn-testsuite \
      wstest --mode fuzzingclient --spec /config/fuzzingclient.json

If a test fails, server.py does not support the same debug_cases argument as client.py, but you can modify fuzzingclient.json to specify a subset of cases to run, e.g. 3.* to run all test cases in section 3.

Note

For OS X or Windows, you’ll need to edit fuzzingclient.json and change the host from 172.17.0.1 to host.docker.internal.

Versioning

This project uses semantic versioning for official releases. When a new version is released, the version number on the master branch will be incremented to the next expected release and suffixed “dev”. For example, if we release version 1.1.0, then the version number on master might be set to 1.2.0-dev, indicating that the next expected release is 1.2.0 and that release is still under development.

Release Process

To release a new version of this library, we follow this process:

  1. In _version.py on master branch, remove the -dev suffix from the version number, e.g. change 1.2.0-dev to 1.2.0.

  2. Commit _version.py.

  3. Create a tag, e.g. git tag 1.2.0.

  4. Push the commit and the tag, e.g. git push && git push origin 1.2.0.

  5. Wait for Github CI to finish building and ensure that the build is successful.

  6. Wait for Read The Docs to finish building and ensure that the build is successful.

  7. Ensure that the working copy is in a clean state, e.g. git status shows no changes.

  8. Build package and submit to PyPI: make publish

  9. In _version.py on master branch, increment the version number to the next expected release and add the -dev suffix, e.g. change 1.2.0 to 1.3.0-dev.

  10. Commit and push _version.py.
