This package supports installation in a virtualenv:
python3 -m venv . pip install -e .
nagiosplugin tests are run by tox, which is configured to expect all of the supported python versions to be present. The easiest way to accomplish this is by installing and using pyenv.
Once you have pyenv set up, make sure you have each of the supported versions of python specified by the envlist in tox.ini. This will likely look something like:
pyenv install 2.7.16 pyenv install 3.4.10 pyenv install 3.5.7 pyenv install 3.6.9 pyenv install 3.7.4 pyenv global 3.7.4 3.6.9 3.5.7 3.4.10 2.7.16
Install test dependencies:
pip install -r requirements_test.txt
After doing so, run the unit tests:
tox
To limit tests to a particular python environment:
tox -e py37
Run only linting tests:
tox -e lint
nagiosplugin also includes support for test coverage reports. Coverage reports are updated automatically by tox. Open htmlcov/index.html to see coverage reports.
You may run the supplied examples with the local interpreter:
python3 nagiosplugin/examples/check_load.py
The documentation depends on Sphinx. Install the necessary dependencies, and then build the documentation:
pip install -r requirements_docs.txt make docs
HTML documentation will be built and installed in doc/_build/html/. You can read the documentation by opening doc/_build/html/index.html.
nagiosplugin obeys the semantic version numbering specification published on SemVer, adapted slightly to be PEP 440 compliant.
Begin by making sure you have the build prerequisites installed:
pip install -r requirements_build.txt
Update the version number in nagiosplugin/version.py, update the version release date in the HISTORY.txt file, and tag the release. Make sure both of the file changes are in the same commit. For a new version 0.1.2:
sed -i '' -e 's/\(__VERSION__ =\).*/\1 "0.1.2"/' nagiosplugin/version.py sed -i '' -e 's/0.1.2 (unreleased)/0.1.2 (2019-11-07)/' HISTORY.txt git stage HISTORY.txt nagiosplugin/version.py git commit -m "Preparing release 0.1.2" git tag 0.1.2 git push git push --tags
Build the nagiosplugin distribution for PyPi:
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
Check the contents of the packages in dist/ to ensure they contain all of the expected files.
Test your package upload with TestPyPi:
twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy dist/*
Check on https://test.pypi.org/nagiosplugin that the package metadata looks correct. If everything is fine, upload the release:
twine upload dist/*
After updating PyPi, advance the version number again to the next patch version plus a .dev0 suffix.
Go to https://readthedocs.io/ and ensure the new stable and dev releases are available.
