Cinder Style Commandments

Cinder Specific Commandments

  • [N314] Check for vi editor configuration in source files.
  • [N319] Validate that debug level logs are not translated.
  • [N322] Ensure default arguments are not mutable.
  • [N323] Add check for explicit import of _() to ensure proper translation.
  • [N325] str() and unicode() cannot be used on an exception. Remove or use six.text_type().
  • [N328] LOG.info messages require translations _LI().
  • [N329] LOG.exception and LOG.error messages require translations _LE().
  • [N330] LOG.warning messages require translations _LW().
  • [N336] Must use a dict comprehension instead of a dict constructor with a sequence of key-value pairs.
  • [C301] timeutils.utcnow() from oslo_utils should be used instead of datetime.now().
  • [C302] six.text_type should be used instead of unicode.
  • [C303] Ensure that there are no 'print()' statements in code that is being committed.
  • [C304] Enforce no use of LOG.audit messages. LOG.info should be used instead.
  • [C305] Prevent use of deprecated contextlib.nested.
  • [C306] timeutils.strtime() must not be used (deprecated).
  • [C307] LOG.warn is deprecated. Enforce use of LOG.warning.
  • [C308] timeutils.isotime() must not be used (deprecated).
  • [C309] Unit tests should not perform logging.
  • [C310] Check for improper use of logging format arguments.
  • [C311] Check for proper naming and usage in option registration.
  • [C312] Check that assertIsNone(value) is used and not assertEqual(None, value).
  • [C313] Check that assertTrue(value) is used and not assertEqual(True, value).

General

  • Use 'raise' instead of 'raise e' to preserve original traceback or exception being reraised:

    except Exception as e:
    ...
    raise e  # BAD

except Exception:
    ...
    raise  # OKAY

Creating Unit Tests

For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and (implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails without the patch and passes with the patch.

Cinder is transitioning to use mock, rather than mox, and so new tests should use mock only.
