Re: [Zope-dev] Re: Unit Test Failures

2005-12-20 Thread Lennart Regebro
On the actual problem, this is a big red flag for me:

  'isinstance(zapi.getSiteManager(), FiveSiteManager)': True,

Fails. So, it's not a FivesiteManager. What is it? None, or something else?
Since this seems to be a cleanup issue, my guess is: Something else.
Probably another one of the site tests doesn't clean up (and that's
probably my fault).

It's the global site manager if not the FiveSiteManager.

 Since this seems to be a cleanup issue, my guess is: Something else.
 Probably another one of the site tests doesn't clean up (and that's
 probably my fault).

Nope, it's really nobody's fault but mine. And the site tests weren't 
responsible for
sure. So, before I explain this issue in detail, let me say: I've already fixed 
this in
the Five repo after remembering a peculiarity in Zope 3.1+ last night. I just 
haven't had
the time yet to merge it to the Zope repo, will do that first thing I'm back in 
SVN
check-in range (on the road right now).

So, here's the deal:
zope.component doesn't have a clue about local sites. All it knows is the 
global site
manager. However, it *does* provide a hook so that other software can influence 
where the
site manager is found. zope.app.component (notice the app here) provides such a 
hook that
knows about the site in the thread local. That's how zope.component in the end 
*does*
find local sites, because it calls the hook.

Now, in Zope X3 3.0, the hooks were set via ZCML using the hook / directive. 
This
directive was ripped out in Zope 3.1 and replaced by a simple function,
zope.app.component.hooks.setHooks(). This function is called upon Zope startup 
by
zope.app.appsetup.appsetup.config() so that the hooks are set when Zope is 
running. A
clean-up function is registered with the general test clean-up facility in Zope 
3 that
clears the hook. So, a unit test would normally not see the hooks *if* it is 
run *after*
a test that has used e.g. placelesssetup.tearDown().

So, in the end, it was actually a problem of cleaning up too much, not too 
little. I've
already had to deal with this problem in the utility tests and solved it there, 
but
didn't remember it when I initially wrote the functional test. That's why my 
debugging
efforts were futile back then.

I guess this needs to be handled a better way, but I leave it to Stephan (who I 
think is
responsible for the hooks handling) to decide what to do.

Sounds good.  I'll announce that the repo will be down for maintenance

Just FYI, during a dry run this morning I hit an obvious snag: The  
subversion packages on svn.zope.org are so ancient that they cannot  
create FSFS backends. What I was able to test so far is dumping: It  
takes just 10 minutes and creates a file 1.1GB in size, so that's good.


I had a look at the packages on the box and luckily the (rather  
obscure) source they are from does supply newer ones:


http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/redhat-9.0/bin/

From eyeballing the RPM requirements and then doing a dry-run the  
packages that will need updating are...


- swig (1.3.19-1.1 to 1.3.19-3)
- subversion (1.0.6-1 to 1.2.3-1)
- subversion-tools (1.0.6-1 to 1.2.3-1)
- subversion-python (1.0.6-1 to 1.2.3-1)

This additional packages needs to be installed for svn-tools:

- subversion-perl (1.2.3-1)

Since I cannot do any test right now for loading the dumpfile into a  
FSFS-based repository I suggest doing this package upgrade  
beforehand. It only takes a few minutes. I cannot make any guarantees  
that nothing will break, however. The only major upgrade to a running  
SVN setup that I have done was 1.1 to 1.2.1 and that was perfectly fine.


How should I proceed?

The interaction between sessions, conflicts, and persistence is a bit
confusing.  I am still trying to understand the code in depth.

One thing is for sure, request.SESSION and/or request['SESSION']  
must be
persistent for things to work.  Mutable objects in the session  
variable

set (dictionaries and lists) have to be handled specially to get the
persistence machinery to recognize they have been changed.

In this case, I am trying to ensure that the session variables get
identified as persistent.  My question is whether using update (an
implicit assignment) triggers the persistence mechanism.  It is the
moral equivalent of writing

request['SESSION']['alpha'] = 'a'B
request['SESSION']['beta'] = 'b'

but I am unsure whether the persistence mechanism will recognize it as
such.



The implementation of TransientObjects's update method is:

def update(self, d):
self._p_changed = 1
for k in d.keys():
self[k] = d[k]


So yes...

a dump/load test on 12/25 and only proceed if it succeeds.

Thanks for the help, Alan. I'm just going the route of least risk by  
using the same set of matching packages from that packager first - if

Whenever this topic comes up, people speak of HelpSys as if it's all API
documentation for programmers. In fact the lion's share of it is
user-oriented online structured text documentation which is IMNSHO very
good to have.  And many third-party products provide such documentation
of their own.  Especially when I was new to Zope, I read them
constantly.

+1 that the API docs should be extracted from interfaces and
should leverage zope3 technology.  See my old proposal here:

http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2004-April/06.html

Status of that proposal: I did a large portion of step 1 and
step 5 in the 2.7 version of the Zope Book, but - as Dieter
predicted - I ran out of steam long before finishing it.
It's a tedious job, and I only got small amounts of help from a couple
of volunteers.

-1 on removing the structured text docs. I don't know if anybody
actually was proposing to remove it, but since nobody mentions it,
it's easy to conclude that :-)

All this stuff will take work... Maybe we could have a doc sprint at pycon?

This would require to move two more third-party packages into the Zope core

We discussed that issue already. Third party packages are a burden when the

I'm OK in principle with moving this stuff somewhere else,
and with properly deprecating context.registerHelp(), but we do need a
replacement strategy, and I don't agree that we can simply drop support
for help in third-party products.  It's not just builtin products that
are affected.  

I also think that keeping it online is a good thing.  It's very
convenient and you don't have to worry about e.g. linux distributions
getting funny with where they decide to place things like bundled
documentation files, or free/budget zope hosting plans where you may not
even have ready access to the filesystem.

Maybe if we don't want to bundle them, we could host them in a versioned
hierarchy on zope.org, like the way old versions of Python docs are
always available on python.org.  Of course, that puts some pressure on
zope.org to be up and responsive all the time... that's another topic
;-P

btw, I don't think we should keep shoe-horning the API docs and
online user docs into the same UI. It doesn't feel like a good
fit in the current system.  Maybe the current Help! link should point
only to user docs, and there should be a separate link to the new
Interface docs?

I mentioned already Apidoc from Z3. One way would be to move the API 
descriptions of the Zope code into interface files (I don't know how much 
code in Zope has no interfaces so far...we could possibly autogenerate
interface files from code). As far as I can see Apidoc in Z3 gets its 
information from the registered components and their interfaces. Possibly we

could replace the registration of a product with the HelpSys with *some*
registry which might be used by Apidoc (Apidoc looks very generic). 
*Possibly* we could register the STX file with this registry as well

I have no idea, but there are already quite a lot of z3 interfaces

 *Possibly* we could register the STX file with this registry as well

ok... but as I said, I'm also wondering if help stx files should go
in some parallel tree and not be mixed up with API docs at all.
But maybe we could still leverage Apidoc for this tree somehow?
I'm totally hand-waving here...

just to be clear, the stuff I'm talking about is ZMI user interface 
docs, not programmer docs.

I'll raise the question again: what are the benefits of the HelpSys for a 
Zope user? I just clicked through the HelpSys (I've never used and missed 
it
throughout my Zope career) and all the unorganized information in the 
HelpSys are more or less in the same way available in the Zope Book (ZPT, 
DTML references etc.). The HelpSys presents the information just in an 
unusable and insane way...so I wonder what is the value of this crap?
Would it hurt someone when we remove it? How many percent of the ppl using 
Zope - either through the ZMI or the filesystem - actually use this 
information source (it's more an information sink)? My theory: a) ppl 
never read documentation b) ppl read the Zope Book because we point them to 
the Zope Book as primary Zope resource. At least the Zope Book is somewhat 
maintained. The HelpSys docs were not update in the past as far as I can 
remember. My proposal would be:


- forget the HelpSys forever

- let's try to (auto)-generate interfaces from the existing code as the
  primary source for API related documentation

- additional information and story telling should be done through doc tests

- create an _optional_ replacement for HelpSys (Apidoc-based or whatever)

The big difference is that in many places in the ZMI, clicking help
takes you to instructions *for the management page you are actually
looking at*.  Just because you and I have internalized all this
information long ago does not mean it isn't useful to new users.
I haven't looked at any of it recently because I don't need to
anymore.  But I remember when I *did* need to.

The users affected most by this change are not going to be on zope-dev.

Maybe I was a rare case and nobody else ever reads the help pages.
I don't think we will find out by arguing about it here.

Maybe a straw poll on the main zope list would teach us something?
Something like Did you, at some point while learning Zope,
get anything useful from the help system?.

 - additional information and story telling should be done through doc tests

For general what is this / what does it do / how does it work
docs, I like that idea.
But it doesn't help with filling out forms in the ZMI.
Arguably, forms should be self-documenting, but the nice thing
about a help link is that it doesn't distract you when
you don't need it any more.

I would say the only benefit was the unification of docs for Zope and  
installed third party products in one place, and its context- 
sensitivity for documenting screens in the ZMI when you're on them  
by clicking the link. I've always tried to be good about it, and most  
of my software has relatively up-to-date HelpSys documentation.


On the other hand I believe most product authors don't use HelpSys  
documentation, and the Zope-provided pieces are way less current and  
informative than the Zope book (2.7 version).


IMHO it would be nice if the HelpSys could be changed so that it  
still provides those Help! links, but the product author can simply  
assign a URL to them to point to a place where they copied and pasted  
their docs into a website. That's not too much of an imposition on  
product authors I think.

Yes. I think we as a community have a general documentation maintenance
problem.  It is something that neither ZC nor the community at large has
placed sufficient value on - understandably! Free docs don't pay
anybody's bills. There needs to be a driving force here stronger than
it would be nice to have better docs, or there never will be. Maybe
once the Zope Foundation is up and running, I will propose that the
Foundation play a role. Maybe fundraising and earmarking funds for doc
work would help.  (... oh crap, I forgot about the foundation chat today.
Probably would have been OT at this stage anyway.)
 
 IMHO it would be nice if the HelpSys could be changed so that it  
 still provides those Help! links, but the product author can simply  
 assign a URL to them to point to a place where they copied and pasted  
 their docs into a website. That's not too much of an imposition on  
 product authors I think.

I think that would work.

If so, the question then becomes: timetable and plan for deprecating
HelpSys.  I don't think we can simply rip out registerHelp() in 2.10
unless we have deprecation warnings in 2.9; and a useful deprecation
warning requires something in place we can advise people to do instead.

FWIW, I have zero plans to support a registerHelp that does anything  
but pass or warn for Egg products.  If people think that isn't a  
reasonable thing to do, I may need to take my committment to  
integrating eggs off the table for 2.10 personally; of course others  
would be free to take the existing code and integrate.  IOW, I intend  
to spend exactly zero brain cycles thinking about help system issues  
except to make it inoperable. ;-)

Hmm... Since eggs are a relatively new distribution mechanism, it
doesn't make sense for basket (or whatever it evolves into) to waste
effort on supporting old crap that's going away sooner or later.

But I'm not sure I understand you. 
Are you saying that in order to use Basket, my product can't call
registerHelp()?

Or are you saying that when installed via Basket, registerHelp()
does nothing?  That's fine.

Yep, the latter currently...

was never a topic.


I most commonly use the HurtSys for DateTime's api, and some of the 
idnexing apis. That said, I also agree it should die if something nicer 
comes along ;-)

I can't recall clicking on top frame of the ZMI or a 'Help!' link in the
past few years, either. Perhaps an equivalent or greater benefit would be
to rip out locally installed static help facilities, and spend the effort
migrating* zope.org to a plone version that could run PloneHelpCenter:

http://plone.org/documentation


* or a clean-slate docs.zope.org, just as well.

This was my first thought but then you have two problems:

1) online docs can be for new version while the user is for various
   reasons using older version - so the docs would not match either

2) privacy: this is the biggest issue - if someone clicks on the
   helpsys link (s)he transmits the url of the own ZMI via
   referrer (in 99% of all cases). This might be ok for zope.org,
   but I doubt this is ok for anybody elses website where who knows
   has access to the logs.
   I fear unless we play some ugly javascript games, there is no
   real way out of this. Maybe at least the url should be
   restricted to zope.org.
