Rémy Taymans 72a5dcf434 New CI to auto build and publish
Using a commit message to trigger the build does not work when merging a
PR because last commit is the merge commit and not the commit edited
with the right name.

Given that, the jobs that will run, are defined at the creation of the
pipeline, publishing and creating a release cannot be done based on the
sate of the code.

A way to trigger publication and release is the git tags.

So with theses changes:

- linting is done only on a merge request
- testing and building are performed on a merge request and on the main
  branch

When a tag is pushed:

- check are done to ensure that the tag is the same as the version of
  the program, in order to not publish and release someting that is not
  coherent.
- the program is published on pypi.
- a release is created, but only if the tag is for a major, minor or
  patch version. No release created for an alpha, beta or pre-release
  version.

So all versions of the program are published on PyPI, but only the
important ones are published via the release mechanism. Because the
release mechanism will warn user for a new version. Version that are not
major, minor or patch are not intended to be used by end users.

The idea of auto publishing and releasing every time a commit is pushed
on the main branch does not work with semantic versioning. For doing
that maybe a calversioning will be better.

The idea of using the CI to push a tag for a new release lead to
security risk. Because the CI will contains credential for writing to
the repository, any contributor can read this token by editing the
gitlab-ci file and use token for bad purposes. Gitlab does not provide
token for writing to a repository owned by the project.

So for now, we control the publication and release of a new version with
two actions:

- updating the version on the pyproject.toml file.
- creating a tag with the same version as in the pyproject.toml file.

Installation to develop

Basic installation

git clone https://gitlab.com/odoo-openupgrade-wizard/odoo-openupgrade-wizard/
cd odoo-openupgrade-wizard
virtualenv env --python=python3
. ./env/bin/activate
poetry install

odoo-openupgrade-wizard commands are now available in your virutalenv.

Advanced installation

If you want to use this library without installing anything in your system, execute the following steps, otherwise, go to 'Installation' part.

  1. Run a docker container:

docker run -it ubuntu:focal

  1. Execute the following commnands

apt-get update
apt-get install git python3 python3-pip python3-venv

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath

su root

pipx install virtualenv
pipx install poetry

Run tests

Via pytest (simple)

This will run tests only for the current python3.X version.

(in your virtualenv)

poetry run pytest --cov odoo_openupgrade_wizard --verbosity=2 --exitfirst

Via Tox (advanced)

This will run tests for all the python versions put in the tox.ini folder.

(in your virtualenv)

tox

Note : you should have all the python versions available in your local system.

sudo apt-get install python3.6  python3.6-distutils
sudo apt-get install python3.7  python3.7-distutils
sudo apt-get install python3.8  python3.8-distutils
sudo apt-get install python3.9  python3.9-distutils

Via Gitlab Runner locally

# Install tools
pipx install gitlabci-local

# Run new available command
gitlabci-local

Debugging

Some docker command could help you when using / developping this tools.

Enter the postgres container

docker exec -it POSTGRES_CONTAINER_NAME /bin/bash

Contribute

Add python dependencies

If you add new dependencies, you have to:

  • add the reference in the file pyproject.toml

  • run the following command in your virtualenv : poetry update

Release on Gitlab and publish on PyPI

Building, releasing and publishing a new version works with tags.

Tags that trigger a build and a publication on PyPI must have a name equal to the version of the program found in pyproject.toml.

Tags that matches an change in major, minor or patch version will trigger a release on gitlab.

Tags that are alpha, beta, pre-release, etc does not trigger a release on gitlab, but they trigger a publication on PyPI.

Before creating a tag, ensure that the version of the program is updated. To update the program version you can use the command:

poetry version {major,minor,patch}

Ensure that the CHANGES.rst file contains information about this new release, if it is a major, minor or patch release. For alpha, beta, etc release information will be published with the next major, minor or patch release.

Then push a commit with the version and the changlog updated on the main branch.

When everything is good on the main branch and that tests succeed, create a new tag with the same name as the version in pyproject.toml file. Tags can be created via Code > Tags > New tag.

To see if the publication on PyPI and the release on gitlab were done correctly, go in Build > Pipelines. You will find a pipeline for the tag you just created.

Understanding the library

Tools to understand

The library is using many tools. It is recommanded to understand that tools to contribute to that project:

Also this project is inspired by the following tools:

Dockerfile information

From version 5 to 7

There are no plans to make the tool work for these versions.

From version 8 to 10 (Python2)

Try to create dockerfile, based on the odoo official ones fails. Any help welcome.

From version 11.0 to latest version. (Python3)

The Dockerfile of the version 11 to the lastest version of Odoo are written this way :

  • Copy the content of https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/ODOO_VERSION/setup/package.dfsrc
  • remove all the part after the big apt-get install
  • install debian package git to have the possibility to pip install from git url.
  • install custom debian packages
  • install python odoo requirements
  • install python setuptools-scm lib to have the possibility to pip install openupgradelib from git url.
  • install python custom requirements
  • makes link between external user and docker odoo user
