2009-10-16Prep for 1.1a6.Chris McDonough
2009-10-16- Add ``zcml_configure`` to ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module API. ThisChris McDonough
function populates a component registry from a ZCML file for testing purposes.
2009-10-16- Added "Creating Integration Tests" section to unit testing narrativeChris McDonough
documentation chapter.
2009-10-15FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - Add ``setUp`` and ``tearDown`` functions to the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module. Using ``setUp`` in a test setup and ``tearDown`` in a test teardown is now the recommended way to do component registry setup and teardown. Previously, it was recommended that a single function named ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` be called in both the test setup and tear down. ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` still exists (and will exist "forever" due to its widespread use); it is now just an alias for ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and is nominally deprecated. - The BFG component registry is now available in view and event subscriber code as an attribute of the request ie. ``request.registry``. This fact is currently undocumented except for this note, because BFG developers never need to interact with the registry directly anywhere else. - The BFG component registry now inherits from ``dict``, meaning that it can optionally be used as a simple dictionary. *Component* registrations performed against it via e.g. ``registerUtility``, ``registerAdapter``, and similar API methods are kept in a completely separate namespace than its dict members, so using the its component API methods won't effect the keys and values in the dictionary namespace. Likewise, though the component registry "happens to be" a dictionary, use of mutating dictionary methods such as ``__setitem__`` will have no influence on any component registrations made against it. In other words, the registry object you obtain via e.g. ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` or ``request.registry`` happens to be both a component registry and a dictionary, but using its component-registry API won't impact data added to it via its dictionary API and vice versa. This is a forward compatibility move based on the goals of "marco". Documentation ------------- - Various tutorial test modules updated to use ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown`` methods in order to encourage this as best practice going forward. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Importing ``getSiteManager`` and ``get_registry`` from ``repoze.bfg.registry`` is no longer supported. These imports were deprecated in repoze.bfg 1.0. Import of ``getSiteManager`` should be done as ``from zope.component import getSiteManager``. Import of ``get_registry`` should be done as ``from repoze.bfg.threadlocal import get_current_registry``. This was done to prevent a circular import dependency. - Code bases which alternately invoke both ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` (treating them equivalently, using them interchangeably) in the setUp/tearDown of unit tests will begin to experience test failures due to lack of test isolation. The "right" mechanism is ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` (or the combination of ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown``). but a good number of legacy codebases will use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` instead. We support ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` but not in combination with ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` in the same codebase. You should use one or the other test cleanup function in a single codebase, but not both. Internal -------- - Created new ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` module which assumes responsibilities previously held by the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` and ``repoze.bfg.router`` modules (avoid a circular import dependency). - The result of the ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function in unit tests set up with ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` or ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` will be an instance of ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` instead of the global ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` registry. This also means that the threadlocal ZCA API functions such as ``getAdapter`` and ``getUtility`` as well as internal BFG machinery (such as ``model_url`` and ``route_url``) will consult this registry within unit tests. This is a forward compatibility move based on the goals of "marco". - Removed ``repoze.bfg.testing.addCleanUp`` function and associated module-scope globals. This was never an API.
2009-10-14- Add ``xhr``, ``accept``, and ``header`` view configurationChris McDonough
predicates to ZCML view declaration, ZCML route declaration, and ``bfg_view`` decorator. See the ``Views`` narrative documentation chapter for more information about these predicates.

2009-10-10(no commit message)Chris McDonough
2009-10-10- Add a new ``repoze.bfg.testing`` API: ``registerRoute``, forChris McDonough
registering routes to satisfy calls to e.g. ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` in unit tests.
2009-10-10Wrong section.Chris McDonough
2009-10-10- The ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives now accept theChris McDonough
following addtional attributes: ``attr``, ``renderer``, and ``wrapper``. These have the same meaning as they do in the context of a ZCML ``view`` directive.
2009-09-30- Add a diagram which explains the operation of the BFG router to theChris McDonough
"Router" narrative chapter.
2009-09-30- Describe "request-only" view calling conventions inside theChris McDonough
urldispatch narrative chapter, where it's most helpful.
2009-09-30- For behavior like Django's ``APPEND_SLASH=True``, use theChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` view as the Not Found view in your application. When this view is the Not Found view (indicating that no view was found), and any routes have been defined in the configuration of your application, if the value of ``PATH_INFO`` does not already end in a slash, and if the value of ``PATH_INFO`` *plus* a slash matches any route's path, do an HTTP redirect to the slash-appended PATH_INFO. Note that this will *lose* ``POST`` data information (turning it into a GET), so you shouldn't rely on this to redirect POST requests.
2009-09-30- The import of ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` is deprecated in favor ofChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``. The old location still functions, but emits a deprecation warning. - The import of ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` is deprecated in favor of ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``. The old location still functions but emits a deprecation warning. The rename from ``Unauthorized`` to ``Forbidden`` brings parity to the the name of the exception and the system view it invokes when raised. - New ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module was created to house exceptions that were previously sprinkled through various modules. - An ``exceptions`` API chapter was added, documenting the new ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module.
2009-09-24- Minor speedup of ``repoze.bfg.router.Router.__call__``.Chris McDonough
2009-09-24- Sped up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser:__call__``Chris McDonough
slightly.

2009-09-23- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` slightly.Chris McDonough
- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` slightly.
2009-09-23- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``.Chris McDonough
- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly. - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` slightly. - In 0.8a7, the return value expected from an object implementing ``ITraverserFactory`` was changed from a sequence of values to a dictionary containing the keys ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``, ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, ``virtual_root_path``, and ``root``. Until now, old-style traversers which returned a sequence have continued to work but have generated a deprecation warning. In this release, traversers which return a sequence instead of a dictionary will no longer work.
2009-09-23FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.encode.urlencode`` (nee' ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) slightly. - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly. Internal -------- - Move ``repoze.bfg.traversal._url_quote`` into ``repoze.bfg.encode`` as ``url_quote``. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - We previously had a Unicode-aware wrapper for the ``urllib.urlencode`` function named ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode`` which delegated to the stdlib function, but which marshalled all unicode values to utf-8 strings before calling the stdlib version. A newer replacement now lives in ``repoze.bfg.encode`` (old imports will still work). The replacement does not delegate to the stdlib. The replacement diverges from the stdlib implementation and the previous ``repoze.bfg.url`` url implementation inasmuch as its ``doseq`` argument is a decoy: it always behaves in the ``doseq=True`` way (which is the only sane behavior) for speed purposes. The old import location (``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) still functions and has not been deprecated.

2009-09-23- On 64-bit Linux systems, views that were members of a multiviewChris McDonough
(orderings of views with predicates) were not evaluated in the proper order. Symptom: in a configuration that had two views with the same name but one with a ``request_method=POST`` predicate and one without, the one without the predicate would be called unconditionally (even if the request was a POST request). Thanks much to Sebastien Douche for providing the buildbots that pointed this out.
2009-09-20- The way ``bfg_view`` declarations are scanned for has been modified.Chris McDonough
This should have no external effects. - An object implementing the ``IRenderer`` interface (and ``ITemplateRenderer`, which is a subclass of ``IRenderer``) must now accept an extra ``system`` argument in its ``__call__`` method implementation. Values computed by the system (as opposed to by the view) are passed by the system in the ``system`` parameter, which will always be a dictionary. Keys in the dictionary include: ``view`` (the view object that returned the value), ``renderer_name`` (the template name or simple name of the renderer), ``context`` (the context object passed to the view), and ``request`` (the request object passed to the view). Previously only ITemplateRenderers received system arguments as elements inside the main ``value`` dictionary.
2009-09-20- Speed: do not register an ITraverserFactory in configure.zcml;Chris McDonough
instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to ModelGraphTraverser. - Speed: do not register an IContextURL in configure.zcml; instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to TraversalContextURL. - General speed microimprovements for helloworld benchmark: replace try/excepts with statements which use 'in' keyword.
2009-09-19- Added a tutorial which explains how to use ``repoze.session``Chris McDonough
(ZODB-based sessions) in a ZODB-based repoze.bfg app.

2009-09-18Add a mod_wsgi configuration tutorial.Chris McDonough
2009-09-17- Add a ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API which is capable ofChris McDonough
generating URLs to static resources defined by the ``<static>`` ZCML directive. See the "Views" narrative chapter's section titled "Generating Static Resource URLs" for more information.
2009-09-17- Add a ``string`` renderer. This renderer converts a non-ResponseChris McDonough
return value of any view callble into a string. It is documented in the "Views" narrative chapter.
2009-09-16- Give the ``route`` ZCML directive the ``view_attr`` andChris McDonough
``view_renderer`` parameters (bring up to speed with 1.1a3 features). These can also be spelled as ``attr`` and ``renderer``.
2009-09-16Prep for 1.1a3.Chris McDonough
2009-09-16- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API has beenChris McDonough
deprecated in favor of ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer``. A deprecation warning is *not* issued at import time for the former name; it will exist "forever". - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function has been moved to ``repoze.bfg.renderer.template_renderer_factory``. This was never an API, but code in the wild was spotted that used it. A deprecation warning is issued at import time for the former. - Better error message when a wrapper view returns None.

2009-09-16Checkpoint. Not 100% test coverage.Chris McDonough
2009-09-14- The ``view`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive is no longerChris McDonough
required if the ZCML directive has a ``template`` attribute.
2009-09-14- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``Chris McDonough
decorator) can now accept a "wrapper" value. If a "wrapper" value is supplied, it is the value of a separate view's *name* attribute. When a view with a ``wrapper`` attribute is rendered, the "inner" view is first rendered normally. Its body is then attached to the request as "wrapped_body", and then a wrapper view name is looked up and rendered (using ``repoze.bfg.render_view_to_response``), passed the request and the context. The wrapper view is assumed to do something sensible with ``request.wrapped_body``, usually inserting its structure into some other rendered template. This feature makes it possible to specify (potentially nested) "owrap" relationships between views using only ZCML or decorators (as opposed always using ZPT METAL and analogues to wrap view renderings in outer wrappers).
2009-09-14Prep for 1.1a2.Chris McDonough
2009-09-14- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``Chris McDonough
decorator) can now accept an "attr" value. If an "attr" value is supplied, it is considered a method named of the view object to be called when the response is required. This is typically only good for views that are classes or instances (not so useful for functions, as functions typically have no methods other than ``__call__``). - A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view`` decorator) can now accept a "template" value. If a "template" value is supplied, and the view callable returns a dictionary, the associated template is rendered with the dictionary as keyword arguments.

2009-09-06- The ``registry_manager`` backwards compatibility alias importableChris McDonough
from "repoze.bfg.registry", deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9 has been removed. If you are tring to use the registry manager within a debug script of your own, use a combination of the "repoze.bfg.paster.get_app" and "repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root" APIs instead.

2009-09-06Merge multiview2 branch to HEAD.Chris McDonough
2009-08-25- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` class now accepts a string as itsChris McDonough
first argument ("root_dir") that represents a package-relative name e.g. ``somepackage:foo/bar/static``. This is now the preferred mechanism for spelling package-relative static paths using this class. A ``package_name`` keyword argument has been left around for backwards compatibility. If it is supplied, it will be honored. - Fixed documentation for ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` (in narrative ``Views`` chapter).
