> Key: TINKERPOP-1278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1278
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: language-variant
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Assignee: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Fix For: 3.2.2
>
>
> As discussed on dev@...
> Apache TinkerPop should provide, out-of-the-box, at least 3 Gremlin language
> variants. It would be cool if these were:
> * Python (Mark Henderson)
> * PHP ([~PommeVerte])
> * Ruby (?[~okram])
> I think each of these should be generated using the reflection-model
> presented in
> http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.2.1-SNAPSHOT/tutorials/gremlin-language-variants/.
> Moreover, on every {{mvn clean install}}, the code for these variants is
> generated.
> Given the desire to separate language variants from language drivers, I think
> that a language driver for each variant above should be "plugable." Moreover,
> we should provide one driver implementation for each -- simple GremlinServer
> REST.
> {code}
> gremlin-variants/
> gremlin-ruby/
> gremlin_ruby.rb
> gremlin_ruby_rest_driver.rb
> gremlin-php/
> Gremlin_PHP.php
> Gremlin_PHP_REST_Driver.php
> gremlin-python/
> gremlin-python.py
> gremlin-python-rest-driver.py
> {code}
> Next, each variant implementation should be testable. This is PAINFUL if we
> have to implement each {{g_V_out_repeatXasXaXX}} test case in
> {{ProcessXXXSuite}}. Perhaps some RegEx transducer magic could be used to
> convert all those tests from Gremlin-Java to the respective host language?
> However, even if we do that, we still have the problem of how to test the
> returned results.
> I think what we should test the returned results using the JVM. For instance,
> JRuby, Jython, JPHP (does it exist?). If we do this, we will save ourselves a
> massive headache. All we have to do is create a {{GraphProvider}} that uses
> {{TinkerGraph}} and whose {{TraversalSource}} is some sort of wrapper around
> reflection-generated Ruby (e.g.).
> {code}
> g.V.out_e("knows") // returns a Ruby iterator
> {code}
> That Ruby iterator should be converted to a Java iterator and then the
> {{ProcessXXXSuite}} can verify the results.
> With this, most everything is reflectively constructed.
> {code}
> gremlin_ruby.rb // generated via Java reflection
> gremlin_ruby_rest_driver.rb // manually coded
> match_test.rb // generated via RegEx transducer
> has_test.rb // generated via RegEx transducer
> ...
> RubyGraphProvider.java // manually coded
> RubyProcessStandardSuite.java // manually coded
> RubyProcessComputerSuite.java // manually coded
> {code}
> Thus, the testing data flow would be:
> {code}
> MatchTest.Traversals.java --transducer-> match_test.rb
> match-test.rb --REST--> GremlinServer
> GremlinServer --GraphSON-->match-test.rb
> GraphSON --JRuby/GraphSONReader-->Java objects
> Java objects --JRuby-->MatchTest.java
> {code}
