Thoth Django

The thothdjango folder includes models, an import routine, subject-code support, and admin procedures to use Thoth in a django app. The import provides unidirectional synchronization from remote Thoth imports to a local database for use in a Django app.

Test Suite

Tests for GraphQL queries are versioned in the thoth-[ver] folder of thothlibrary.

Tests confirm that current code produces good, known object outputs from stored GraphQL input.

Versioning

The Thoth API is not yet considered stable and functionality changes between versions. The recommended way to add a new version compatibility is:

1. Read the latest Thoth changelog to understand the changes.
2. Copy the latest thoth-[ver] folder to the correctly named new version.
3. Find and replace the strings specified in genfixtures.sh and genjson.sh. Update the version string in tests and endpoints.
4. Run genjson.sh only from inside the tests directory of the new version. This will fetch the latest server JSON responses and store it inside the fixtures directory for these tests. If there are any errors, then the command line CLI has encountered a breaking change that must first be fixed.
5. Run the test suite for the latest version and examine breakages. It is possible that breakages are not actually full breakdown, but merely a change in the serialized object. Nonetheless, fix these by subclassing the previous versions of the API and overriding broken methods. In the cases of total breakage, a non-subclassed rewrite may be more appropriate. (May also apply at major version breaks.)
6. When the test suite passes, or a new object format has been decided and tests rewritten, run genfixtures.sh to freeze the current test suite.
7. Include the new version directory in the list of packages in setup.py
8. Update THOTH_VERSION in thothlibrary/client.py
