Development

Create your virtual environment, then use rake tasks:

$ rake -T

rake build           # Build package
rake bump[revision]  # Bump version
rake clean           # Remove/Delete build..
rake default         # Default task => :install
rake install         # Install package for local development purpose
rake test            # Run test
rake upload:main     # Upload package to main distro (release)
rake upload:test     # Upload package to test distro

You need ruby to run rake tasks. Rake tasks are just helper functions for automation. You don’t need to install anything to proceed. If you are on macOS, you’ll already have ruby installed.

If you are on Ubuntu:

# install ruby on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get update -y
$ sudo apt-get install -y ruby-full

You need bumpversion to manage package versioning. If you are on macOS:

$ brew install bumpversion

If you are on Ubuntu:

# install bumpversion on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get update -y
$ sudo apt-get -y bumpversion

To install and test package locally, just call rake or rake install. Tests are available under tests/ folder. Run rake test to run tests.

To continue without ruby or rake:

• Install package locally: pip install -e .[development]
• Build package: python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
• Install bumpversion: pip install bumpversion

For uploading package to pypi registry you need to install:

$ pip install -U wheel setuptools

You need to put pypi credentials to ~/.pypirc:

[distutils]
index-servers=
    pypi-promptapi
    testpypi-promptapi

[pypi-promptapi]
repository = https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
username: __token__
password: TOKEN

[testpypi-promptapi]
repository: https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username: __token__
password: TOKEN

• Upload to main registry: twine upload --repository pypi-promptapi dist/*
• Upload to test repository: twine upload --repository testpypi-promptapi dist/*
