autorequire:
- objects defined in type manifests should be automatically prerequisites of the current object
- __foo/some-id
__other other-id --state present
=> require="__other/other-id" __foo/some-id
metaparameters:
- steal the metaparameters from puppet:
# I have to be there before the other one
__directory /etc/ssh \
--before __file/etc/ssh/sshd_config
# the other one has to be there before me
__file /etc/ssh/sshd_config \
--after __directory/etc/ssh
# if I change, tell the other one about it
__file /etc/ssh/sshd_config \
--notify __init_script/etc/rc.d/sshd
# whenever the other one changes, I want to know
__init_script /etc/rc.d/sshd \
--subscribe __file/etc/ssh/sshd_config
- how does a type react to a received 'event'?
- maybe something like:
__some_type/
manifest
...
gencode-refresh
...
- gencode-refresh -> code-refresh -> ssh $target sh -e code-refresh
logging:
- logging from type emulator without clobbering stdout
maybe implement logging server as described here [1]
[1] http://docs.python.org/py3k/howto/logging-cookbook.html#configuration-server-example
- use different logger to limit output to current area of interest,
e.g.
explorer.$target_host: explorer related messages for the run for $target_host
manifest.$target_host: manifest related messages for the run for $target_host
...
then one could filter e.g. on explorer.*
- more granular debug output,

tests:
__init__():
- sets up env: __target_host
run_initial_manifest():
- parameter is actually used (from __init__)
- ensure changing the manifest actually runs a different manifest
-> give ConfigInstall Constructor different manifest
-> different manifest is executed.
- test all submitted (from core to type manifest) variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
run_type_manifest():
- test all submitted (from core to type manifest) variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
- same tests as for test_initial_manifest_*?
run_manifest():
- test all submitted variables:
- ENVIRONMENT
- including __debug, if debug
- they are set
- they contain the correct values
- does $require work?
- check that exception raised, if manifest is not existent
object_run():
- ensure no object is run twice
- ensure requirements are taken into account?
- and order of run is adjusted
- check (from extern?) that all needed variables are setup
- ensure no code-{local, remote} is created,
if gencode is not producing code
- ensure THAT code-{local, remote} contains what gencode created
- abort if gencode-* fails
- abort if code-* fails
- abort == raise(FooException)
- gencode-*: ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
run_type_explorer()
- ensure ALL type explores have been run
- ensure output is saved to correct path
- ensure a type with {0,1,2} explorers works ?
- none, one, multiple
- ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
- fails if ANY of the given explorer fails
run_global_explorers():
- ensure ALL type explores have been run
- ensure output is saved to correct path
- ensure a type with {0,1,2} explorers works ?
- none, one, multiple
- ensure ENVIRONMENT is setup correctly
- fails if ANY of the given explorer fails
Code fixes needed:
- shutil, os.mkdir, etc. everywhere: catch/reraise exceptions correctly
