Andreas Jaeger f039a76868 Add manila specific hacking checks
Add manila specific hacking checks (copied over from nova) to test:
- [M319] Validate that debug level logs are not translated.
- [M323] Ensure that the _() function is explicitly imported to ensure
  proper translations.
- [M325] str() cannot be used on an exception.  Remove use or use
  six.text_type()
- [M326] Translated messages cannot be concatenated.  String should be
  included in translated message.

Also include some tests for the above (copied from nova and adjusted).

Rework HACKING.rst to remove the content that is in the global hacking
file and add in the manila specific rules.

Manila Style Commandments =======================

Manila Specific Commandments

  • [M319] Validate that debug level logs are not translated.
  • [M323] Ensure that the _() function is explicitly imported to ensure proper translations.
  • [M325] str() cannot be used on an exception. Remove use or use six.text_type()
  • [M326] Translated messages cannot be concatenated. String should be included in translated message.

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.

For more information on creating unit tests and utilizing the testing infrastructure in OpenStack Manila, please read manila/testing/README.rst.

openstack-common

A number of modules from openstack-common are imported into the project.

These modules are "incubating" in openstack-common and are kept in sync with the help of openstack-common's update.py script. See:

http://wiki.openstack.org/CommonLibrary#Incubation

The copy of the code should never be directly modified here. Please always update openstack-common first and then run the script to copy the changes across.

Running Tests

The testing system is based on a combination of tox and testr. If you just want to run the whole suite, run tox and all will be fine. However, if you'd like to dig in a bit more, you might want to learn some things about testr itself. A basic walkthrough for OpenStack can be found at http://wiki.openstack.org/testr

Commit Messages

Using a common format for commit messages will help keep our git history readable. Follow these guidelines:

First, provide a brief summary (it is recommended to keep the commit title under 50 chars).

The first line of the commit message should provide an accurate description of the change, not just a reference to a bug or blueprint. It must be followed by a single blank line.

If the change relates to a specific driver (libvirt, xenapi, qpid, etc...), begin the first line of the commit message with the driver name, lowercased, followed by a colon.

Following your brief summary, provide a more detailed description of the patch, manually wrapping the text at 72 characters. This description should provide enough detail that one does not have to refer to external resources to determine its high-level functionality.

Once you use 'git review', two lines will be appended to the commit message: a blank line followed by a 'Change-Id'. This is important to correlate this commit with a specific review in Gerrit, and it should not be modified.

For further information on constructing high quality commit messages, and how to split up commits into a series of changes, consult the project wiki:
