Excerpts from Herbies's message of 2016-06-06 11:53:41 +0200: > Hi, > I'd like to start to write code on Qubes.
Read at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/ the part titled *For Developers*. > I have developed some easy bash scripts that run in dom0, but now I want > to do more. I want to convert this script from bash to python and play > with qubes-manager. Depending on what you do, you probably want to play with qubes-core-admin (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/) not the qubes-manager. Qubes Manager is just an ui which interacts with the logic in qubes-core-admin. What you probably want to do is to study qubes-core-admin and what kind of python modules and functions it offers. Then you can just write your python script — which reuses the `qubes.qubes` module — in the dom0 and you don't need a whole build environment. Have also a look at the default tools (i.e.: vim `which qvm-ls`) to see how the Python qubes modules are used. > How do you develop on Qubes? This is how packages are build https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/ > how do you perform test on software that run in dom0? There're two options: ① If you develop for current QubesOS version, you can build your package in you BUILDVM and copy it to the dom0. ② Have a secondary hardware running QubesOS, with a network card attached to the dom0. You build your code in a BUILDVM. The dom0, on your secondary hardware, runs an SSH daemon. BUILDVM can deploy packages and run tests via SSH on the secondary hardware. The second options is preferable and cleaner. > The process is "test-driven"? Depends on the component and your definition of test-driven. There're tests for some components. kalkin- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
