PATCH 1/8 autobuild-run: check-requirements does not need to know the login details

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

check-requirements simply has to know if the results have to be sent, so it can check on some extra requirements. The username and password are irrelevant here.
This commit introduces a boolean variable do_send_results to hide these details.

PATCH 2/8 scripts: add python module docopt

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

This commit adds the 'docopt' python module, version 0.6.1. Original source is: https://github.com/docopt/docopt
Since docopt stands on its own, only the .py file and the license is added, other files from github are skipped.

The __init__.py file is added to allow treating docopt as a package (and thus keep the files in a separate directory).

PATCH 3/8 autobuild-run: use docopt for argument parsing

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

Using docopt, argument parsing becomes trivial. Adding a new argument is a matter of updating the usage text.
This commit removes the original cumbersome argument handling and uses docopt instead. A method is added to import the settings from the configuration file in a similar dictionary as the one created by docopt, so that both can be merged (giving priority to the configuration file, as before).

With these changes, each option can be passed as argument and in the configuration file. This means that http-user and http-password can now also be added as argument (even though passing the password on the command-line is not recommended).

PATCH 4/8 autobuild-run: convert regular function comments into docstrings

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

Documenting a function in Python is done with docstrings, rather than with comments above the function. The conventions are described in
PEP257: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/

PATCH 5/8 autobuild-run: add option --make-opts for custom Buildroot options

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

In some environments, the Buildroot configuration may need minor tweaking. For example, in corporate environments behind a firewall, direct git access (as required by some packages) may not be possible. A git wrapper may be needed, which is normally configured through the BR2_GIT configuration option.

Since these tweaks are very environment-specific, they should not be part of the configuration file itself. Otherwise, other people trying to reproduce the build in another environment will see builds failing due to other reasons, for example the git wrapper not being found.

This commit provides a new configuration option 'make-opts', passable as argument or in the config file, that accepts a string of make options to pass to the Buildroot make command. For example:

    --make-opts="BR2_GIT=git-wrapper BR2_svn=svn-wrapper"

PATCH 5/8 autobuild-run: add option --make-opts for custom Buildroot options

Quoted 46 lines · Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

In some environments, the Buildroot configuration may need minor tweaking. For example, in corporate environments behind a firewall, direct git access (as required by some packages) may not be possible. A git wrapper may be needed, which is normally configured through the BR2_GIT configuration option.

Since these tweaks are very environment-specific, they should not be part of the configuration file itself. Otherwise, other people trying to reproduce the build in another environment will see builds failing due to other reasons, for example the git wrapper not being found.

This commit provides a new configuration option 'make-opts', passable as argument or in the config file, that accepts a string of make options to pass to the Buildroot make command. For example:

    --make-opts="BR2_GIT=git-wrapper BR2_svn=svn-wrapper"

PATCH 6/8 autobuild-run: create main method to locally-scope all variables

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

In the current autobuild-run script, all variables created in the 'main' part are in fact global, even though the script does not intend them to be. For example, sysinfo is global, even though it is passed as function argument to run_instance.

To avoid this accidental globalization, create a main method instead. All variables created therein are now local to that method.

PATCH 7/8 autobuild-run: use **kwargs to avoid explicit parameter passthroughs

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

The current version of autobuild-run has some extensive explicit parameter passing, for example:

- fixup_config needs sysinfo, passed via gen_config, in turn via run_instance, in turn via main.
- send_results needs username/password settings, passed via run_instance, in turn via main.

Everytime a leaf function needs an extra parameter (for example coming from the arguments or config file), the entire call chain needs to be adapted to pass along that parameter.

This patch introduces the **kwargs dictionary principle, that allows implicit parameter passing. A function can accept this dictionary and extract parameters from it by name. The dictionary can be passed as a whole to a child function, without explicitly enumerating which entries in the dictionary are needed in the child.

In this patch, one occurrence of 'instance' is not correctly substituted with kwargs['instance']. I will fix this.

Clearly, some longer testing is needed with this patch set, but getting your feedback on the principles already is good.

PATCH 8/8 autobuild-run: add support for custom git wrapper

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]>

In corporate environments, there may be no direct git access, and a wrapper program that sets a proxy may be needed. See [1] for an example solution.

This patch to autobuild-run provides a --git argument that can be used to set the path to such a git wrapper. By default, the argument is plain 'git'.

Yes, I was also wondering why a change to each and every git invocation was needed: surely like wget there should be a way to configure git to use a proxy.

Hmm, yes indeed.
On my laptop, I don't want to do that as I need/don't need the proxy depending on if I'm connected to the company network or not. But in case of an autobuilder it's not the case.
So yes, I will drop this patch.

In a python interpreter, do bool(None) and bool('blabla'), you'll respectively get 'False' and 'True'.

check-requirements simply has to know if the results have to be sent, so it can check on some extra requirements. The username and password are irrelevant here.
This commit introduces a boolean variable do_send_results to hide these details.

Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or is not, never the equality operators.

Also, beware of writing if x when you really mean if x is not None -- e.g. when testing whether a variable or argument that defaults to None was set to some other value. The other value might have a type (such as a container) that could be false in a boolean context!

I'm with Yann (not Maxime) on this one: if you would have an autobuild server
that doesn't need a username or password, then there would be no distinction between sending or not sending results. with 'http_login is not None and http_password is not None' you can set them to the empty string to force sending.

In practice, of course, it doesn't matter because we have only one autobuild
server and it does require a non-empty username and password.

Very true, I did not think about that case.
And as bonus point, like Yann said previously, it's more explicit.

Yup, I forgot that '... is not ...' is preferred over 'not ... is ...'

Extensive debate on just one line :)

First of all, the construct 'http_login and http_password' was already in the original code, I just placed the result in a variable to allow for reuse.

Secondly, regarding the quote Yann made of PEP8:

Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or is not, never the equality operators.

--> This is not relevant in this case, according to me, since we are not using equality operators (==, !=).

Also, beware of writing if x when you really mean if x is not None -- e.g. when testing whether a variable or argument that defaults to None was set to some other value. The other value might have a type (such as a container) that could be false in a boolean context!

--> This part can be discussed. Arnout suggested that there may be a hypothetical server that accepts empty http logins or password. Yes, if you want to allow that, you cannot simply convert http_login in a boolean as the empty string would render False, but it's not a case I was coding for.

If I see code like:
do_send_results = (http_login is not None) and (http_password is not None)
my first reaction would be to change it into
do_send_results = http_login and http_password
although indeed it's not exactly the same. So a comment should be written to make it explicit that the empty string is accepted as a valid login/password.

All in all, I wonder if the empty string as login/password is a valid use case to consider, and whether the uglier code is worth that.

But I'm not a difficult person, so if the consensus is to change that line, no problem!

Best regards,
Thomas
