Cinder Client Style Commandments
================================
- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
https://docs.openstack.org/hacking/latest/
- Step 2: Read on
Cinder Client Specific Commandments
-----------------------------------
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
Release Notes
-------------
- Any patch that makes a change significant to the end consumer or deployer of
an OpenStack environment should include a release note (new features, upgrade
impacts, deprecated functionality, significant bug fixes, etc.)
- Cinder Client uses Reno for release notes management. See the `Reno
Documentation`_ for more details on its usage.
.. _Reno Documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/reno/latest/
- As a quick example, when adding a new shell command for Awesome Storage
Feature, one could perform the following steps to include a release note for
the new feature::
$ tox -e venv -- reno new add-awesome-command
$ vi releasenotes/notes/add-awesome-command-bb8bb8bb8bb8bb81.yaml
Remove the extra template text from the release note and update the details
so it looks something like::
---
features:
- Added shell command `cinder be-awesome` for Awesome Storage Feature.
- Include the generated release notes file when submitting your patch for
review.
