User documentation <https://documentation.suse.com/appliance/keg-2/html/keg/index.html>
_.
keg is written in Python, it uses tox <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>
_
to setup a development environment for the desired Python version. Make
sure the Python development headers are installed (e.g. python36-devel
).
KIWI uses jing
for detailed error reporting in case schema validation fails.
This cannot be installed by pip, so you may want also make sure this is
installed on your system.
Currently, there are 5 targets for tox:
The following procedure describes how to create the development environment:
Let tox create the virtual environment(s):
.. code:: bash
$ tox -e devel
Activate the virtual environment
.. code:: bash
$ source .tox/3/bin/activate
Install requirements inside the virtual environment:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install -U pip setuptools $ pip install -r .virtualenv.dev-requirements.txt
Let setuptools create/update your entrypoints
.. code:: bash
$ ./setup.py develop
Once the development environment is activated and initialized with the project required Python modules, you are ready to work.
In order to leave the development mode just call:
.. code:: bash
$ deactivate
To resume your work, change into your local Git repository and
run source .tox/3/bin/activate
again. Skip step 3 and 4 as
the requirements are already installed.
