ZC Buildout recipe for setting up a google appengine development environment

Project description

Buildout recipe for setting up a google appengine development environment.

The rod.recipe.appengine is a zc.buildout recipe to build, test and deploy projects for the google appengine. It makes it easy to use eggs and resolve their dependencies automatically.

To be honest, this is a recipe for scrambled eggs. It produces a zip file containing all configured external packages in a traditional folder hierarchy.

A brief documentation

This recipe takes a number of options:

appengine-lib

Path to an already installed appengine library

eggs

List of required eggs

exclude

A list of basenames to be excluded when setting up the application files, e.g. the whole ‘tests’ directory.

packages

A list of packages to be included into the zip archive, which will be uploaded to the appspot.

src

The directory which contains the project source files.

url

The url for fetching the google appengine distribution

zip-name

The name of the zip archive containing all external packages ready to deploy.

zip-packages

Flag whether external packages shall be zipped in single zip file. (Default=True)

Tests

We will define a buildout template used by the recipe:

>>> buildout_template = """
... [buildout]
... develop = %(egg_src)s
... parts = sample
...
... [sample]
... recipe = rod.recipe.appengine
... eggs = foo.bar
... exclude = tests
... url = http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.2.3.zip
... """

We’ll start by creating a buildout:

>>> import os.path
>>> import rod.recipe.appengine.tests as tests
>>> egg_src = os.path.join(os.path.split(tests.__file__)[0], 'foo.bar')
>>> write('buildout.cfg', buildout_template % {'egg_src': egg_src})

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> output = system(buildout)
>>> if output.endswith("Google App Engine distribution...\n"): True
... else: print output
True

And now we try to run the appserver script:

>>> print system(os.path.join('bin', 'sample'))
<BLANKLINE>
...
Invalid arguments
<BLANKLINE>

There should be a configuration script in bin as well:

>>> print system(os.path.join('bin', 'appcfg'))
Usage: appcfg [options] <action>
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>

Let’s see if the ‘tests’ directory has been excluded:

>>> l = os.listdir(os.sep.join(['parts', 'sample', 'foo', 'bar']))
>>> assert 'tests' not in l
