The Tuskar source code should be pulled directly from git.
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tuskar
Setting up a local environment for development can be done with tox.
# install prerequisites
* Fedora/RHEL:
$ sudo yum install python-devel python-pip libxml2-devel \
libxslt-devel postgresql-devel mariadb-devel
* Ubuntu/Debian:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libxml2-dev \
libxslt-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev
Note
If you wish you run Tuskar against MySQL or PostgreSQL you will need also install and configure these at this point. Otherwise you can run Tuskar with an sqlite database.
To run the Tuskar test suite you will also need to install Tox.
$ sudo pip install tox
Note
An issue with tox requires that you use a version <1.70 or >= 1.7.2.
Now create your virtualenv.
$ cd <your_src_dir>/tuskar
$ tox -e venv
Note
If pip install
fails due to an outdated setuptools, you
can try to update it first.
$ sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
To run the test suite use the following command. This will run against Python 2.7 and run the flake8 code linting.
$ tox
Copy the sample configuration file:
$ cp etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf.sample etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
We need to tell tuskar where to connect to database. Edit the
config file in database
section and change
#connection=<None>
to
connection=sqlite:///tuskar/tuskar.sqlite
Note
If you are using a different database backend, you will need to enter a SQLAlchemy compatible conection string for this setting.
We need to initialise the database schema.
# activate the virtualenv
$ source .tox/venv/bin/activate
# if you delete tuskar.sqlite this will force creation of tables again - e.g.
# if you added a new resource table definitions etc in an existing migration
# file
$ tuskar-dbsync --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
You can verify this was successful (in addition to seeing no error output) with.
$ sqlite3 tuskar/tuskar.sqlite .schema
Then, launch the app.
$ tuskar-api --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
You can then verify that everything worked by running.
$ curl -v -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' http://0.0.0.0:8585/v2/plans/ | python -mjson.tool
This command should return JSON with an empty result set.
Whenever you want to run the API again, just switch to the virtualenv and run tuskar-api command.
$ source .tox/venv/bin/activate
$ tuskar-api --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf
Tuskar needs to be provided with a set of roles that can be added to a deployment plan. The following steps will add the roles from the TripleO Heat Templates repository.
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates
$ tuskar-load-roles --config-file etc/tuskar/tuskar.conf \
-r tripleo-heat-templates/compute.yaml \
-r tripleo-heat-templates/controller.yaml
After this, if the Tuskar API isn't running, start it with the above command and the following curl command should show you the loaded roles.
$ curl -v -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' http://0.0.0.0:8585/v2/roles/ | python -mjson.tool
By default, Tuskar is configured to skip authentication for REST
API calls. Keystone authentication can be enabled by making the
appropriate changes to the tuskar.conf
file as described in
the keystone documentation
