ckanext-report Py3 + CKAN 2.9 support

thejuliekramer commented 3 years ago

User Story

As a data.gov developer, I want ckanext-report running with CKAN 2.9 and Python 3 so that we can move out of CKAN 2.8 and reduce our technical debt and meet compliance standards.

Acceptance Criteria

[ ] WHEN I view CI THEN I see a successful job testing the extension under CKAN 2.9 AND I see a successful job testing the extension under CKAN 2.8 AND I see a successful job testing the extension under the legacy test environment
[ ] WHEN I remove the tests THEN I see CI fail due to test coverage being below a threshold

Background

CKAN 2.9 extension tracker.

Details / tasks

The goal is to support running this extension against CKAN 2.9 (Python 3) and CKAN 2.8 (Python 2) environments. Please refer to the main CKAN documentation for Python 3 extensions migration. We're not following this guide exactly. Instead of creating a long-lived py3 branch, we should be merging often. New CI test suites don't need to required or to be fully passing in order to merge. It's only important that changes don't introduce new failures or break the existing test suites.

Below are a list of tasks. Depending on the extension's functionality, not all tasks will be actionable.

Tasks:

[ ] Update spreadsheet to indicate the extension upgrade is in progress
[ ] Rename default branch -> main.
[ ] Remove any CKAN 2.3 tests and functionality
- Look for check_ckan_version
- grep for '2.3'
- See https://github.com/GSA/ckanext-datagovtheme/pull/87/commits/5968f42fe31ef3fb7b3d8c118c03d8629d471449 for additional examples
[ ] Dependencies must be python 3 compatible (run caniusepython3 -r requirements.txt from within the virtualenv) and post the results to this issue (docs)
[ ] Add additional CI config for CKAN 2.8 and 2.9 Update CI config. These new CI jobs do not to be required yet (docs)
- add code coverage reporting and required threshold (example)
[ ] Update documentation with compatibility table (docs)
- Features
- "Usage" (how to use/install/configure the extension) vs "Development" (how to test etc)
- Required extensions and dependencies
- "Weak" dependencies or how this code interacts with other extensions
[ ] Update/add docker-compose environment in order to run tests locally (example)
[ ] Update test suite (docs)
- consider copying tests dir to tests/nose in order to preserve existing test environment (example)
- replace nose with pytest (example)
[ ] Fix Python 3 issues / futurize code (docs)
- Install future and run futurize --both-stages --write ckanext
[ ] Import from core ckan using toolkit (git grep -w 'paste\|pylons' should return no imports) (docs)
[ ] (optional) Create Mixin plugin implementations for Pylons / Flask (docs) (example)
[ ] Convert controllers to flask views/blueprints (docs)
[ ] Migrate Paster CLI commands to Click (docs)
[ ] Migrate js and css assets to Web assets (docs) (example)
[ ] Update templates (docs) (example)
- you may want to split the template for CKAN >=2.9 in order to keep templates readable while maintaining backwards compatibility
- update resource tags to asset for Web Assets
- update controller='package' -> controller='dataset' or controller='resource'
[ ] Update spreadsheet to indicate the extension upgrade is complete

There's a PR for Py3 support upstream but it hasn't been updated since March 2020; we'll have to inquire about the status.
