The development setup
=====================
Obtain a copy of the source code
--------------------------------
Just clone our git repository including its submodules::
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pretix/pretix.git
cd pretix/
External Dependencies
---------------------
* Python 3.4 or newer
* ``pip`` for Python 3
* ``git``
* ``lessc`` (Debian package: ``node-less``)
Your local python environment
-----------------------------
Please execute ``python -V`` or ``python3 -V`` to make sure you have Python 3.4
installed. Also make sure you have pip for Python 3 installed, you can execute
``pip3 -V`` to check. Then use Python 3.4's internal tools to create a virtual
environment and activate it for your current session::
pyvenv env
source env/bin/activate
You should now see a ``(env)`` prepended to your shell prompt. You have to do this
in every shell you use to work with pretix (or configure your shell to do so
automatically).
Working with the code
---------------------
The first thing you need are all the main application's dependencies::
cd src/
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then, create the local database::
python manage.py syncdb
Create the translation files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're working with the translation, you can use the following command to scan the
source code for strings to be translated and update the ``*.po`` files accordingly::
make localegen
To actually see pretix in your language, you have to compile the ``*.po`` files to their
optimized binary ``*.mo`` counterparts::
make localecompile
Run the development server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To run the local development webserver, execute::
python manage.py runserver
and head to http://localhost:8000/
Code checks and unit tests
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before you check in your code into git, always run::
flake8 .
python manage.py validate
python manage.py test
to check for syntax, style and other errors. The ``flake8`` command by default is a bit
stricter than what we really enforce, but we do enforce that all commits produce no output
from::
flake8 --ignore=E123,E128,F403,F401,N802,W503 .
It is therefore a good idea to put this command into your git hook ``.git/hooks/pre-commit``,
for example::
#!/bin/sh
cd $GIT_DIR/../src
source ../env/bin/activate
flake8 --ignore=E123,E128,F403,F401,N802,W503 .
Working with the documentation
------------------------------
First, you should install the requirements necessary for building the documentation.
Make sure you have your virtual python enviroment activated (see above). Then, install the
packages by executing::
cd doc/
pip install -r requirements.txt
To build the documentation, run the following command from the ``doc/`` directory::
make html
You will now find the generated documentation in the ``doc/_build/html/`` subdirectory.
