Understanding

To understand how you might make use of this project, check out some of the test helper functions and test code, then the scripts

• tests/__init__.py overrwites some settings for QA_BRANCHES and SOURCE_BRANCH and defines several functions that execute git commands, with the help of bg_helper.run
  • make_file to create a file using echo and output redirection
  • append_to_file to append to a file using echo and output redirection
  • change_file_line to change a line of a file using sed
  • init_clone_cd_repo to create a git repo at remote_path, clone it to local_path, and cd to local_path
    • also creates a file, commits it, and pushes to origin
  • checkout_branch to checkout an existing branch
  • add_commit_push to add modified files, commit, and push
  • deploy_merge_tag to deploy a branch to an open qa environment, merge back to source, then tag
    • this makes heavy use of some high-level easy_workflow_manager functions
      • get_empty_qa
      • get_remote_branches
      • deploy_to_qa
      • get_qa_env_branches
      • merge_qa_to_source
      • tag_release
      • get_tag_message
• tests/conftest.py defines a single "fixture" that creates a new folder in /tmp to contain a new "remote git repository" and its "local clone" per defined test class
  • the fixture yields to let the methods of the test class run before deleting the temporary data
    • this would be a good place to drop a pytest.set_trace() if you want to inspect temporary repos and their commits
• tests/test_stuff.py defines two test classes with some test methods
  • TestNewRepo.test_remote_branches to make sure the only remote branch is master, create 3 new branches, confirm that various invocations of ewm.get_remote_branches() return what you'd expect
  • TestNewRepo.test_local_branches to confirm that various invocations of ewm.get_local_branches() return what you'd expect
  • TestNewRepo.test_qa to confirm that no qa branches are in use and that ewm.get_empty_qa() returns the set of the overwritten QA_BRANCHES, then use the helper functions to append to a file, commit the changes, push to the remote
    • then check that ewm.deploy_to_qa() gets the specified branch(es) onto the specified qa branch
    • then check that ewm.clear_qa() clears the specified qa branch
  • TestNewRepo.test_change_commit_push() to update a file
    • then check that ewm.get_merged_remote_branches() does not include the branch that was just updated
  • TestNewRepo.test_tagging() to check that merging a branch to source and tagging it works
