Test submodules from data repo

[rachejazz]

Keeping this issue for recording all work done for pulling data.json from https://github.com/openmainframeproject/software-discovery-tool-data

Currently, will be testing with my local fork. Using a sample json from https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/PDS/tree/master/distro_data

Updates: Added distro_data in PR openmainframeproject/software-discovery-tool-data#4

Added submodule in fork repo: [will change remote link once PR is merged]

cd software-discovery-tool
git submodule add https://github.com/rachejazz/software-discovery-tool-data.git distro_data
git checkout test1 #not needed once my PR gets merged :))

For anyone who is testing on different machines, this is what you do to update your repo recursively with distro data list:

git pull <remote> <branch> --recurse-submodules

Last step:

• check whether all files listed under package_search.py are present in distro_data/distro_data
• update config.py with the correct distro list directory:

• DATA_FILE_LOCATION = '%s/distro_data' % SDT_BASE
• DATA_FILE_LOCATION = '%s/distro_data/distro_data' % SDT_BASE

SDT is now working with correct search results:

@pleia2 before I make any changes regarding this issue, please do check the linked PR mentioned above from the data repo :)) This remains stalled until that PR is merged

This is done and working, closing this
