If you would like to contribute to the development of oslo's libraries,
first you must take a look to this page:

How to contribute
=================
If you would like to contribute to the development of OpenStack,
you must follow the steps in this page:
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html
Once those steps have been completed, changes to OpenStack
should be submitted for review via the Gerrit tool, following
the workflow documented at:
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow
Pull requests submitted through GitHub will be ignored.
Bugs should be filed on Launchpad, not GitHub:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/oslo.db
How to run unit tests
=====================
oslo.db (as all OpenStack projects) uses tox to run unit tests. You can find
general information about OpenStack unit tests and testing with tox in wiki_.
oslo.db tests use PyMySQL as the default MySQL DB API driver (which is true for
OpenStack), and psycopg2 for PostgreSQL. pip will build these libs in your
venv, so you must ensure that you have the required system packages installed
for psycopg2 (PyMySQL is a pure-Python implementation and so needs no
additional system packages). For Ubuntu/Debian they are python-dev, and
libpq-dev. For Fedora/CentOS - gcc, python-devel and postgresql-devel.
The oslo.db unit tests system allows to run unittests on real databases. At the
moment it supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
For testing on a real database backend you need to set up a user
``openstack_citest`` with password ``openstack_citest`` on localhost (some
OpenStack projects require a database named 'openstack_citest' too).
Please note, that this user must have permissions to create and drop databases.
If the testing system is not able to connect to the backend, tests on it will
be skipped.
For PostgreSQL on Ubuntu you can create a user in the following way::
sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# create user openstack_citest with createdb login password
'openstack_citest';
For MySQL you can use the following commands::
mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE USER 'openstack_citest'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY
'openstack_citest';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'openstack_citest'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
See the script ``tools/test-setup.sh`` on how the databases are set up
excactly in the OpenStack CI infrastructure and use that for your
set up.
Alternatively, you can use `pifpaf`_ to run the unit tests directly without
setting up the database yourself. You still need to have the database software
installed on your system. The following tox environments can be used::
tox -e py27-mysql
tox -e py27-postgresql
tox -e py34-mysql
tox -e py34-postgresql
tox -e py27-all
tox -e py34-all
The database will be set up for you locally and temporarily on each run.
Another way is to start `pifpaf` manually and use it to run the tests as you
wish::
$ eval `pifpaf -g OS_TEST_DBAPI_ADMIN_CONNECTION run postgresql`
$ echo $OS_TEST_DBAPI_ADMIN_CONNECTION
postgresql://localhost/postgres?host=/var/folders/7k/pwdhb_mj2cv4zyr0kyrlzjx40000gq/T/tmpMGqN8C&port=9824
$ tox -e py27
[…]
$ tox -e py34
[…]
# Kill pifpaf once you're done
$ kill $PIFPAF_PID
