Apprise Development Tools

Common Testing

This directory just contains some tools that are useful when developing with Apprise. It is presumed that you've set yourself up with a working development environment before using the tools identified here:

# Using pip, setup a working development environment:
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

The tools are as follows:

• ⚙️ apprise: This effectively acts as the apprise tool would once Apprise has been installed into your environment. However apprise uses the branch you're working in. So if you added a new Notification service, you can test with it as you would easily. apprise takes all the same parameters as the apprise tool does.

  # simply make your code changes to apprise and test it out:
  ./bin/apprise -t title -b body \
        mailto://user:pass@example.com
  

• ⚙️ test.sh: This allows you to just run the unit tests associated with this project. You can optionally specify a keyword as a parameter and the unit tests will specifically focus on a single test. This is useful when you need to debug something and don't want to run the entire fleet of tests each time. e.g:

  # Run all tests:
  ./bin/tests.sh
  
  # Run just the tests associated with the rest framework:
  ./bin/tests.sh rest
  
  # Run just the Apprise config related unit tests
  ./bin/tests.sh config
  

• ⚙️ checkdone.sh: This script just runs a lint check against the code to make sure there are no PEP8 issues and additionally runs a full test coverage report. This is what will happen once you check in your code. Nothing can be merged unless these tests pass with 100% coverage. So it's useful to have this handy to run now and then.

  # Perform PEP8 and test coverage check on all code and reports
  # back. It's called 'checkdone' because it checks to see if you're
  # actually done with your code commit or not. :)
  ./bin/checkdone.sh
  

You can optionally just update your path to include this ./bin directory and call the scripts that way as well. Hence:

# Update the path to include the bin directory:
export PATH="$(pwd)/bin:$PATH"

# Now you can call the scripts identified above from anywhere...

RPM Testing

Apprise is also packaged for Redhat/Fedora as an RPM. To verify this processs works correctly an additional tool called build-rpm.sh is provided. It's best tested using the Docker environments:

# To test with el9; do the following:
docker-compose run --rm rpmbuild.el9 build-rpm.sh

# To test with f39; do the following:
docker-compose run --rm rpmbuild.f39 build-rpm.sh
