Python Jobs

Job Groups

Job groups are a great tool to configure categories of jobs together at the same time. Below the example are some starting point job-groups but we recommend creating your own to ensure that the jobs configured reflect the project’s needs.

An example project:

- job-group:
    name: odl-maven-jobs

    jobs:
      - gerrit-maven-clm
      - gerrit-maven-merge
      - gerrit-maven-release
      - gerrit-maven-verify
      - gerrit-maven-verify-dependencies:
          build-timeout: 180

    mvn-version: mvn35

- project:
    name: aaa
    jobs:
      - odl-maven-jobs

In this example we are using the job-group to assign a list of common jobs to the aaa project. The job-group also hardcodes mvn-version to mvn35 and build-timeout to 180 for all projects using this job-group.

A benefit of this method is for example disabling entire category of jobs by modifying the job-group, insert disable-job: true parameter against the jobs to disable.

Below is a list of Python job groups:

---
- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-python-jobs"

    # This job group contains all the recommended jobs that should be deployed
    # for a Gerrit-based Python project to verify commits using tox.

    jobs:
      - gerrit-python-xc-clm
      - gerrit-tox-verify
      - gerrit-tox-merge

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-github-python-jobs"

    # This job group contains all the recommended jobs that should be deployed
    # for a Github-based Python project to verify commits using tox.

    jobs:
      - github-python-xc-clm
      - github-tox-verify
      - github-tox-merge

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-gerrit-pypi-jobs"

    # This job group contains the recommended jobs that should be deployed for
    # a Gerrit-based Python project to test, build and deploy a package.

    jobs:
      - gerrit-pypi-merge
      - gerrit-pypi-verify

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-github-pypi-jobs"

    # This job group contains the recommended jobs that should be deployed for
    # a Github-based Python project to test, build and deploy a package.

    jobs:
      - github-pypi-merge
      - github-pypi-verify

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-gerrit-pypi-release-jobs"

    # This job group contains the recommended jobs that should be deployed for
    # a Gerrit-based Python project to promote a package from staging to pypi.

    jobs:
      - gerrit-pypi-release-merge
      - gerrit-pypi-release-verify

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-github-pypi-release-jobs"

    # This job group contains the recommended jobs that should be deployed for
    # a Github-based Python project to promote a package from staging to pypi.

    jobs:
      - github-pypi-release-merge
      - github-pypi-release-verify

Job Templates

Python XC CLM

CLM scans for Python based repos. This job will call the Nexus IQ CLI directly to run the scans.

A new credential named “nexus-iq-xc-clm” needs to exist in the Jenkins credentials. The credential should contain the username and password to access Nexus IQ Server.

Template Names
  • {project-name}-python-clm-{stream}

  • gerrit-python-xc-clm

  • github-python-xc-clm

Comment Trigger

run-clm post a comment with the trigger to launch this job manually. Do not include any other text or vote in the same comment.

Required parameters
build-node

The node to run build on.

jenkins-ssh-credential

Credential to use for SSH. (Generally should get configured in defaults.yaml)

Optional parameters
build-days-to-keep

Days to keep build logs in Jenkins. (default: 7)

nexus-iq-cli-version

Nexus IQ CLI package version to download and use. (default: 1.44.0-01)

nexus-iq-namespace

Insert a namespace to project AppID for projects that share a Nexus IQ system to avoid project name collision. We recommend inserting a trailing - dash if using this parameter. For example ‘odl-‘. (default: ‘’)

build-timeout

Timeout in minutes before aborting build. (default: 60)

git-url

URL clone project from. (default: $GIT_URL/$PROJECT)

java-version

Version of Java to use for the build. (default: openjdk8)

pre-build-script

Shell script to execute before the CLM builder. For example, install prerequisites or move files to the repo root. (default: a string with a shell comment)

stream

Keyword used to represent a release code-name. Often the same as the branch. (default: master)

submodule-recursive

Whether to checkout submodules recursively. (default: true)

submodule-timeout

Timeout (in minutes) for checkout operation. (default: 10)

submodule-disable

gerrit_clm_triggers

Override Gerrit Triggers.

gerrit_trigger_file_paths

Override file paths used to filter which file modifications trigger a build. Refer to JJB documentation for “file-path” details. https://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/triggers.html#triggers.gerrit

Python Sonar with Tox

Sonar scans for Python based repos. This job invokes tox to run tests and gather coverage statistics from the test results, then invokes Maven to publish the results to either a Sonar server or SonarCloud.

To get the Sonar coverage results, file tox.ini must exist and contain coverage commands to run.

The coverage commands define the code that gets executed by the test suites. Checking coverage does not guarantee that the tests execute properly, but it identifies code that is not executed by any test.

This job reuses the Sonar builders used for Java/Maven projects which run maven twice. The first invocation does nothing for Python projects, so the job uses the goal ‘validate’ by default. The second invocation publishes results using the goal ‘sonar:sonar’ by default.

For example:

[testenv:py27]
commands =
        coverage run --module pytest --junitxml xunit-results.xml
        coverage xml --omit=".tox/py27/*","tests/*"
        coverage report --omit=".tox/py27/*","tests/*"

For more details refer to coverage and sonar documentation:

PyPI Merge

Creates and uploads distribution files on merge of a patch set. Runs tox, builds a source distribution and (optionally) a binary distribution, and uploads the distribution(s) to a PyPI repository. The project git repository must have a setup.py file with configuration for packaging the component.

This job should use a staging repository like testpypi.python.org, which sets up use of release jobs to promote the distributions later. This job can also use a public release area like the global PyPI repository if the release process is not needed. These PyPI repositories allow upload of a package at a specific version once, they do not allow overwrite of a package. This means that a merge job will fail in the upload step if the package version already exists in the target repository.

The tox runner is pyenv aware so if the image contains an installation of pyenv at /opt/pyenv it will pick it up and run Python tests with the appropriate Python versions. The tox runner sets the following pyenv variables before running.

export PYENV_ROOT="/opt/pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"

Installable package projects should use the directory layout shown below. All Python files are in a repo subdirectory separate from non-Python files like documentation. This layout allows highly specific build-job triggers in Jenkins using the subdirectory paths. For example, a PyPI merge job should not run on a non-Python file change such as documentation, because the job cannot upload the same package twice.

To make the document files available for building a Python package long description in setup.py, add a symbolic link “docs” in the package subdirectory pointing to the top-level docs directory.
