Branches

Please request your PR to be merged into the devel branch. Changes to the stable branch are managed by the repository maintainers.

Development environment setup

Note: Some steps are OPTIONAL but all are RECOMMENDED.

  1. Fork the project repo and clone it
$ git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/podman-compose.git
$ cd podman-compose
  1. (OPTIONAL) Create a python virtual environment. Example using virtualenv wrapper:
mkvirtualenv podman-compose
  1. Install the project runtime and development requirements
$ pip install '.[devel]'
  1. (OPTIONAL) Install pre-commit git hook scripts (https://pre-commit.com/#3-install-the-git-hook-scripts)
$ pre-commit install
  1. Create a new branch, develop and add tests when possible
  2. Run linting & testing before commiting code. Ensure all the hooks are passing.
$ pre-commit run --all-files
  1. Run code coverage
coverage run --source podman_compose -m pytest ./pytests
python -m pytest ./tests
coverage combine
coverage report
coverage html
  1. Commit your code to your fork's branch.
    • Make sure you include a Signed-off-by message in your commits. Read this guide to learn how to sign your commits
    • In the commit message reference the Issue ID that your code fixes and a brief description of the changes. Example: Fixes #516: allow empty network
  2. Open a PR to containers/podman-compose:devel and wait for a maintainer to review your work.

Adding new commands

To add a command you need to add a function that is decorated with @cmd_run passing the compose instance, command name and description. This function must be declared async the wrapped function should accept two arguments the compose instance and the command-specific arguments (resulted from python's argparse package) inside that command you can run PodMan like this await compose.podman.run(['inspect', 'something'])and inside that function you can access compose.pods and compose.containers ...etc. Here is an example

@cmd_run(podman_compose, 'build', 'build images defined in the stack')
async def compose_build(compose, args):
    await compose.podman.run(['build', 'something'])

Command arguments parsing

Add a function that accept parser which is an instance from argparse. In side that function you can call parser.add_argument(). The function decorated with @cmd_parse accepting the compose instance, and command names (as a list or as a string). You can do this multiple times.

Here is an example

@cmd_parse(podman_compose, 'build')
def compose_build_parse(parser):
    parser.add_argument("--pull",
        help="attempt to pull a newer version of the image", action='store_true')
    parser.add_argument("--pull-always",
        help="attempt to pull a newer version of the image, Raise an error even if the image is present locally.", action='store_true')

NOTE: @cmd_parse should be after @cmd_run

Calling a command from inside another

If you need to call podman-compose down from inside podman-compose up do something like:

@cmd_run(podman_compose, 'up', 'up desc')
async def compose_up(compose, args):
    await compose.commands['down'](compose, args)
    # or
    await compose.commands['down'](argparse.Namespace(foo=123))
