This is a backend daemon that listens to fedmsg and updates PDC with information about what it sees on the bus.

Development

Set up a python virtualenv:

$ sudo dnf -y install python-virtualenvwrapper
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ mkvirtualenv pdc-updater

Setup pdc-updater and its dependencies:

$ workon pdc-updater
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py develop

Try running the test suite:

$ dnf install libyaml-devel
$ pip install -r test-requirements.txt
$ nosetests

Check test suite coverage:

$ pip install coverage
$ nosetests --with-coverage --cover-package=pdcupdater

If the test suite is failing, one thing to try is to remove the VCR cassette data before re-running the tests:

$ rm -rf pdcupdater/tests/vcr-request-data/
$ nosetests

Getting an authentication token

...from https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/

• go to https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/ in your browser and login.
• go to https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/rest_api/v1/auth/token/obtain/
• open up the devtools console in your browser, and find the request for the current page.
• right click to open a context menu and select 'copy as cURL'
• paste that into a terminal. It should have your saml cookie.
• before hitting enter, edit the command to add the following option:
  • -H 'Accept: application/json', to tell the API you want data
• the command should print out your token.

Copy fedmsg.d/pdcupdater-example.py to fedmsg.d/pdcupdater.py and fill in your token there.

Running the fedmsg-hub

Run it for real:

$ fedmsg-hub

Finally, you can take the dev instructions from the-new-hotness and learn how to set up a local fedmsg-relay so you can replay production messages and more fully test out pdc-updater.
