# Development process
|
|
|
|
Please read the Working Process/Quickstart Guide in README.md first.
|
|
|
|
For any modification of crankshaft, such as adding new features,
|
|
refactoring or bug-fixing, topic branch must be created out of the `develop`
|
|
branch and be used for the development process.
|
|
|
|
Modifications are done inside `src/pg/sql` and `src/py/crankshaft`.
|
|
|
|
Take into account:
|
|
|
|
* Tests must be added for any new functionality
|
|
(inside `src/pg/test`, `src/py/crankshaft/test`) as well as to
|
|
detect any bugs that are being fixed.
|
|
* Add or modify the corresponding documentation files in the `doc` folder.
|
|
Since we expect to have highly technical functions here, an extense
|
|
background explanation would be of great help to users of this extension.
|
|
* Convention: snake case(i.e. `snake_case` and not `CamelCase`)
|
|
shall be used for all function names.
|
|
Prefix function names intended for public use with `cdb_`
|
|
and private functions (to be used only internally inside
|
|
the extension) with `_cdb_`.
|
|
|
|
Once the code is ready to be tested, update the local development installation
|
|
with `sudo make install`.
|
|
This will update the 'dev' version of the extension in `src/pg/` and
|
|
make it available to PostgreSQL.
|
|
It will also install the python package (crankshaft) in a virtual
|
|
environment `env/dev`.
|
|
|
|
The version number of the Python package, defined in
|
|
`src/pg/crankshaft/setup.py` will be overridden when
|
|
the package is released and always match the extension version number,
|
|
but for development it shall be kept as '0.0.0'.
|
|
|
|
Run the tests with `make test`.
|
|
|
|
To use the python extension for custom tests, activate the virtual
|
|
environment with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
source envs/dev/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update extension in a working database with:
|
|
|
|
* `ALTER EXTENSION crankshaft VERSION TO 'current';`
|
|
`ALTER EXTENSION crankshaft VERSION TO 'dev';`
|
|
|
|
Note: we keep the current development version install as 'dev' always;
|
|
we update through the 'current' alias to allow changing the extension
|
|
contents but not the version identifier. This will fail if the
|
|
changes involve incompatible function changes such as a different
|
|
return type; in that case the offending function (or the whole extension)
|
|
should be dropped manually before the update.
|
|
|
|
If the extension has not previously been installed in a database,
|
|
it can be installed directly with:
|
|
|
|
* `CREATE EXTENSION crankshaft WITH VERSION 'dev';`
|
|
|
|
Note: the development extension uses the development python virtual
|
|
environment automatically.
|
|
|
|
Before proceeding to the release process peer code reviewing of the code is
|
|
a must.
|
|
|
|
Once the feature or bugfix is completed and all the tests are passing
|
|
a Pull-Request shall be created on the topic branch, reviewed by a peer
|
|
and then merged back into the `develop` branch when all CI tests pass.
|
|
|
|
When the changes in the `develop` branch are to be released in a new
|
|
version of the extension, a PR must be created on the `develop` branch.
|
|
|
|
The release manage will take hold of the PR at this moment to proceed
|
|
to the release process for a new revision of the extension.
|
|
|
|
## Relevant development tasks available in the Makefile
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
* `make help` show a short description of the available targets
|
|
|
|
* `sudo make install` will generate the extension scripts for the development
|
|
version ('dev'/'current') and install the python package into the
|
|
development virtual environment `envs/dev`.
|
|
Intended for use by developers.
|
|
|
|
* `make test` will run the tests for the installed development extension.
|
|
Intended for use by developers.
|
|
