Developing / Testing

Getting Set Up

First, get your Python environment set up:

mkvirtualenv datasheets
pip install -e . -r requirements-dev.txt

Various testing functionality exists:

  • make test - Run tests for both Python 2 and 3
  • pytest - Run tests for whichever Python version is in your virtualenv
  • make coverage - Check code coverage

Manual tests also exist in the tests/manual_testing.ipynb Jupyter Notebook. To run the manual tests, install Jupyter Notebook (pip install jupyter notebook), then run jupyter notebook, open the file in the browser, and execute each cell.

Releasing A New Version

If you make a PR that gets merged into master, a new version of datasheets can be created as follows.

  1. Increment the __version__ in the datasheets/__init__.py file and commit that change.

  2. Push a new git tag to the repo by doing:

    • Write the tag message in a dummy file called tag_message. We do this to allow multi-line tag messages
    • git tag x.x.x -F tag_message
    • git push --tags origin master

  3. Run make release_pypitest to test that you can release to pypi.

  4. Run make release_pypi to actually push the release to pypi.
