Bifrost is a part of Ironic, which is an OpenStack project and
|
|
thus follows OpenStack development procedures.
|
|
|
|
For a full (and official) description of the development workflow, see:
|
|
|
|
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow
|
|
|
|
For a highly abridged version, read on.

|
|
Communicating
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Before you file a bug or new review set, it's often helpful to chat with other
|
|
developers. The #openstack-ironic channel on OFTC IRC network
|
|
(irc://irc.oftc.net/#openstack-ironic) is a good place to start, and if
|
|
you don't have IRC (or would prefer email),
|
|
openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org is the mailing list for all OpenStack
|
|
projects. As the name implies, that mailing list is for all OpenStack
|
|
development, so it's often harder to get attention on your particular issue.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Filing Bugs
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Bugs should be filed in StoryBoard, not GitHub:
|
|

Contributing Code
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Bifrost requires a valid OpenStack contributor agreement to be signed before
|
|
code can be accepted. Details can be found in the development workflow link
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
Code isn't committed directly (so pull requests won't work); instead, the
|
|
code is submitted for review through Gerrit via git review, and once its
|
|
been sufficiently reviewed it will be merged from there.
|
|
|
|
Once that's done, the development workflow is, roughly::
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/bifrost
|
|
$ cd bifrost
|
|
$ git checkout -b some-branch-name
|
|
... hack hack hack ...
|
|
$ git commit
|
|
$ git review
|
|
... The configuration details for this are in .gitreview.
|
|
... When the command runs, it will add a ChangeId to your commit
|
|
... message and print out a link for your reference
|
|
...
|
|
... If you need to fix something in that commit, you can do:
|
|
$ git commit --amend
|
|
$ git review
|
|
|
|
From that point on, the link the git review command generated is
|
|
the place to do final tweaks. When its approved, the code
|
|
will be merged in automatically.
|
|
|
|
If you propose a new feature and are unable to complete it, please
|
|
let the community know by commenting in the review set indicating
|
|
that someone else is free to carry on your change. If the core
|
|
reviewers observe reviews that are not being actively worked on,
|
|
we are likely to inquire with you. If a review is untouched and the
|
|
owner of the review is unreachable for a lengthy period of time,
|
|
such as three to six months, the core reviewers may abandon the
|
|
change as we do not utilize auto-abandon.

|
|
Code Style
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Bifrost is a mix of Python, YaML, and bash thrown in for good measure.
|
|
|
|
The overall intent is to keep features, and changes simple to permit a user
|
|
to easily understand and extend bifrost to meet their operational needs as
|
|
we recognize needs may vary.
|
|
|
|
With this, we have a list of things that we would like people to keep in mind
|
|
when contributing code.
|
|
|
|
1. Try to limit YaML to 79 characters per row, we understand this is not
|
|
always possible, but please make an effort.
|
|
2. Try to keep change sets as short and to the point as possible.
|
|
3. Rather than pass key-value pair strings to Ansible modules, try to utilize
|
|
key-value pair lists on a module command line. Example::
|
|
|
|
- name: "Stat file for x reason"
|
|
stat:
|
|
file: '/path/to/file'
|
|
get_md5: no
|
|
|
|
4. Playbook conditionals utilizing variables intended as booleans,
|
|
should make use of the ``| bool`` casting feature. This is due
|
|
to command line overrides are typically interpreted as strings
|
|
instead of booleans. Example::
|
|
|
|
- name: "Something something something"
|
|
module:
|
|
parameter: "value"
|
|
when: boolean_value | bool == true
|
|
|
|
5. Be clear and explicit with actions in playbooks and comments.
|
|
6. Simplicity is favored over magic.
|
|
7. Documentation should generally be paired with code changes as we feel
|
|
that it is important for us to be able to release the master branch
|
|
at any time.
|
|
8. Documentation should always be limited to 79 characters per row.
|
|
9. If you have any questions, please ask in #openstack-ironic.
