shade Style Commandments
========================
Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
https://docs.openstack.org/hacking/latest/
Indentation
-----------
PEP-8 allows for 'visual' indentation. Do not use it. Visual indentation looks
like this:
.. code-block:: python
return_value = self.some_method(arg1, arg1,
arg3, arg4)
Visual indentation makes refactoring the code base unneccesarily hard.
Instead of visual indentation, use this:
.. code-block:: python
return_value = self.some_method(
arg1, arg1, arg3, arg4)
That way, if some_method ever needs to be renamed, the only line that needs
to be touched is the line with some_method. Additionaly, if you need to
line break at the top of a block, please indent the continuation line
an additional 4 spaces, like this:
.. code-block:: python
for val in self.some_method(
arg1, arg1, arg3, arg4):
self.do_something_awesome()
Neither of these are 'mandated' by PEP-8. However, they are prevailing styles
within this code base.
Unit Tests
----------
Unit tests should be virtually instant. If a unit test takes more than 1 second
to run, it is a bad unit test. Honestly, 1 second is too slow.
All unit test classes should subclass `shade.tests.unit.base.BaseTestCase`. The
base TestCase class takes care of properly creating `OpenStackCloud` objects
in a way that protects against local environment.
