Here are some guidelines for hacking on oauth2client.

Using a Development Checkout

You’ll have to create a development environment to hack on oauth2client, using a Git checkout:

• While logged into your GitHub account, navigate to the oauth2client repo on GitHub.

• Fork and clone the oauth2client repository to your GitHub account by clicking the "Fork" button.

• Clone your fork of oauth2client from your GitHub account to your local computer, substituting your account username and specifying the destination as hack-on-oauth2client. For example:

  $ cd ${HOME}
  $ git clone git@github.com:USERNAME/oauth2client.git hack-on-oauth2client
  $ cd hack-on-oauth2client
  $ # Configure remotes such that you can pull changes from the oauth2client
  $ # repository into your local repository.
  $ git remote add upstream https://github.com:google/oauth2client
  $ # fetch and merge changes from upstream into master
  $ git fetch upstream
  $ git merge upstream/master
  

Now your local repo is set up such that you will push changes to your GitHub repo, from which you can submit a pull request.

• Create a virtualenv in which to install oauth2client:

  $ cd ~/hack-on-oauth2client
  $ virtualenv -ppython2.7 env
  

  Note that very old versions of virtualenv (virtualenv versions below, say, 1.10 or thereabouts) require you to pass a --no-site-packages flag to get a completely isolated environment.

  You can choose which Python version you want to use by passing a -p flag to virtualenv. For example, virtualenv -ppython2.7 chooses the Python 2.7 interpreter to be installed.

  From here on in within these instructions, the ~/hack-on-oauth2client/env virtual environment you created above will be referred to as $VENV. To use the instructions in the steps that follow literally, use the export VENV=~/hack-on-oauth2client/env command.

• Install oauth2client from the checkout into the virtualenv using setup.py develop. Running setup.py develop must be done while the current working directory is the oauth2client checkout directory:

  $ cd ~/hack-on-oauth2client
  $ $VENV/bin/python setup.py develop
  

Running Tests

• To run all tests for oauth2client on a single Python version, run nosetests from your development virtualenv (See Using a Development Checkout above).

• To run the full set of oauth2client tests on all platforms, install tox into a system Python. The tox console script will be installed into the scripts location for that Python. While in the oauth2client checkout root directory (it contains tox.ini), invoke the tox console script. This will read the tox.ini file and execute the tests on multiple Python versions and platforms; while it runs, it creates a virtualenv for each version/platform combination. For example:

  $ sudo pip install tox
  $ cd ~/hack-on-oauth2client
  $ tox
  

Running System Tests

• To run system tests you can execute:

  $ tox -e system-tests
  $ tox -e system-tests3
  

  This alone will not run the tests. You'll need to change some local auth settings and download some service account configuration files from your project to run all the tests.

• System tests will be run against an actual project and so you'll need to provide some environment variables to facilitate this.

  • OAUTH2CLIENT_TEST_JSON_KEY_PATH: The path to a service account JSON key file; see tests/data/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json as an example. Such a file can be downloaded directly from the developer's console by clicking "Generate new JSON key". See private key docs for more details.
  • OAUTH2CLIENT_TEST_P12_KEY_PATH: The path to a service account P12/PKCS12 key file. You can download this in the same way as a JSON key, just select "P12 Key" as your "Key type" when downloading.
  • OAUTH2CLIENT_TEST_P12_KEY_EMAIL: The service account email corresponding to the P12/PKCS12 key file.
  • OAUTH2CLIENT_TEST_USER_KEY_PATH: The path to a JSON key file for a user. If this is not set, the file created by running gcloud auth login will be used. See tests/data/gcloud/application_default_credentials_authorized_user.json for an example.
  • OAUTH2CLIENT_TEST_USER_KEY_EMAIL: The user account email corresponding to the user JSON key file.

• Examples of these can be found in scripts/local_test_setup.sample. We recommend copying this to scripts/local_test_setup, editing the values and sourcing them into your environment:

  $ source scripts/local_test_setup
