2010-01-19Bug FixesChris McDonough
--------- - When the ``Configurator`` is passed an instance of ``zope.component.registry.Components`` as a ``registry`` constructor argument, fix the instance up to have the attributes we expect of an instance of ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` when ``setup_registry`` is called. This makes it possible to use the global Zope component registry as a BFG application registry. Documentation ------------- - Change renderings of ZCML directive documentation. - Add a narrative documentation chapter: "Using the Zope Component Architecture in ``repoze.bfg``"
2010-01-16Massive overhaul to deal with the reality that we don't map URLs directly to ↵Chris McDonough
code.

-------- - The ``Configurator.add_view`` method now accepts an argument named ``context``. This is an alias for the older argument named ``for_``; it is preferred over ``for_``, but ``for_`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``view`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named ``context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named ``for``; it is preferred over ``for``, but ``for`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``Configurator.add_route`` method now accepts an argument named ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older argument named ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` will continue to be supported "forever". Documentation and Paster Templates ---------------------------------- - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_view`` method that used its ``for_`` argument now use the ``context``argument instead. - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_route`` method that used its ``view_for`` argument now use the ``view_context``argument instead. - All uses of the ``view`` ZCML directive that used its ``for`` attribute now use the ``context`` attribute instead. - All uses of the ``route`` ZCML directive that used its ``view_for`` attribute now use the ``view_context`` attribute instead.

2009-12-19- Add four new testing-related APIs to theChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class: ``testing_securitypolicy``, ``testing_models``, ``testing_add_subscriber``, and ``testing_add_template``. These were added in order to provide more direct access to the functionality of the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` APIs named ``registerDummySecurityPolicy``, ``registerModels``, ``registerEventListener``, and ``registerTemplateRenderer`` when a configurator is used. The ``testing`` APIs named are nominally deprecated (although they will likely remain around "forever", as they are in heavy use in the wild). - Doc-deprecated most helper functions in the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module. These helper functions likely won't be removed any time soon, nor will they generate a warning any time soon, due to their heavy use in the wild, but equivalent behavior exists in methods of a Configurator.
2009-12-19- Add a new API to the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``Chris McDonough
class: ``add_settings``. This API can be used to add "settings" (information returned within via the ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API) after the configurator has been initially set up. This is most useful for testing purposes.
2009-12-19Add notes about nominal deprecations.Chris McDonough
2009-12-19- Add two new APIs to the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``Chris McDonough
class: ``add_adapter`` and ``add_utility``. These, respectively, perform the same functions as the ``registerAdapter`` and ``registerUtility`` functions of a ZCA registry. They were added to allow for a more consistent testing API for applications that make use of the ZCA directly. - Cause the ``adapter``, ``utility``, and ``subscriber`` ZCML directives to use a ``Configurator`` instance and associated configurator APIs rather than a ZCA registry directly.

2009-12-19- Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator``Chris McDonough
``add_view`` method, the ``bfg_view`` decorator and the attribute list of the ZCML ``view`` directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is specified, it must be a sequence of predicate callables (a predicate callable accepts two arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and returns ``True`` or ``False``). The associated view callable will only be invoked if all custom predicates return ``True``. Use one or more custom predicates when no existing predefined predicate is useful. Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely. - Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator`` ``add_route`` and the attribute list of the ZCML ``route`` directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is specified, it must be a sequence of predicate callables (a predicate callable accepts two arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and returns ``True`` or ``False``). The associated route will match will only be invoked if all custom predicates return ``True``, else route matching continues. Use one or more custom predicates when no existing predefined predicate is useful. Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely.

-------- - The ``Configurator`` object now has two new methods: ``begin`` and ``end``. The ``begin`` method is meant to be called before any "configuration" begins (e.g. before ``add_view``, et. al are called). The ``end`` method is meant to be called after all "configuration" is complete. Previously, before there was imperative configuration at all (1.1 and prior), configuration begin and end was invariably implied by the process of loading a ZCML file. When a ZCML load happened, the threadlocal data structure containing the request and registry was modified before the load, and torn down after the load, making sure that all framework code that needed ``get_current_registry`` for the duration of the ZCML load was satisfied. Some API methods called during imperative configuration, (such as ``Configurator.add_view`` when a renderer is involved) end up for historical reasons calling ``get_current_registry``. However, in 1.2a5 and below, the Configurator supplied no functionality that allowed people to make sure that ``get_current_registry`` returned the registry implied by the configurator being used. ``begin`` now serves this purpose. Inversely, ``end`` pops the thread local stack, undoing the actions of ``begin``. We make this boundary explicit to reduce the potential for confusion when the configurator is used in different circumstances (e.g. in unit tests and app code vs. just in initial app setup). Existing code written for 1.2a1-1.2a5 which does not call ``begin`` or ``end`` continues to work in the same manner it did before. It is however suggested that this code be changed to call ``begin`` and ``end`` to reduce the potential for confusion in the future. - All ``paster`` templates which generate an application skeleton now make use of the new ``begin`` and ``end`` methods of the Configurator they use in their respective copies of ``run.py`` and ``tests.py``. Documentation ------------- - All documentation that makes use of a ``Configurator`` object to do application setup and test setup now makes use of the new ``begin`` and ``end`` methods of the configurator. Bug Fixes --------- - When a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` *class* (as opposed to instance) was raised as an exception within a root factory (or route root factory), the exception would not be caught properly by the ``repoze.bfg.`` Router and it would propagate to up the call stack, as opposed to rendering the not found view or the forbidden view as would have been expected.

2009-12-02Oops.Chris McDonough
2009-12-02- When two views were registered with differering ``for`` interfacesChris McDonough
or classes, and the ``for`` of first view registered was a superclass of the second, the ``repoze.bfg` view machinery would incorrectly associate the two views with the same "multiview". Multiviews are meant to be collections of views that have *exactly* the same for/request/viewname values, without taking inheritance into account. Symptom: wrong view callable found even when you had correctly specified a ``for_`` interface/class during view configuration for one or both view configurations.

``request_type`` predicate caused a startup time failure when it was encountered in imperative configuration or in a decorator (symptom: ``Type Error: Required specification must be a specification``). This now works again, although ``request_method`` is a more modern predicate.

2009-11-27- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` function now accepts three extraChris McDonough
optional keyword arguments: ``registry``, ``request`` and ``hook_zca``. If the ``registry`` argument is not ``None``, the argument will be treated as the registry that is set as the "current registry" (it will be returned by ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry``) for the duration of the test. If the ``registry`` argument is ``None`` (the default), a new registry is created and used for the duration of the test. The value of the ``request`` argument is used as the "current request" (it will be returned by ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_request``) for the duration of the test; it defaults to ``None``. If ``hook_zca`` is ``True`` (the default), the ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function will be hooked with a function that returns the value of ``registry`` (or the default-created registry if ``registry`` is ``None``) instead of the registry returned by ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``, causing the Zope Component Architecture API (``getSiteManager``, ``getAdapter``, ``getUtility``, and so on) to use the registry we're using for testing instead of the global ZCA registry. - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown`` function now accepts an ``unhook_zca`` argument. If this argument is ``True`` (the default), ``zope.component.getSiteManager.reset()`` will be called, causing the "base" registry to once again start returnining the result of ``zope.component.getSiteManager``. - Remove hook_zca and unhook_zca methods from Configurator.
2009-11-27Get rid of ``zcml_file`` argument in configurator constructor in favor of ↵Chris McDonough
the load_zcml API. Get rid of hook_zca argument in configurator constructor in favor of a ``hook_zca`` method. Provide an ``unhook_zca`` method.
2009-11-26- When two views were registered with the same ``accept`` argument,Chris McDonough
but were otherwise registered with the same arguments, if a request entered the application which had an ``Accept`` header that accepted *either* of the media types defined by the set of views registered with predicates that otherwise matched, a more or less "random" one view would "win". Now, we try harder to use the view callable associated with the view configuration that has the most specific ``accept`` argument. Thanks to Alberto Valverde for an initial patch.
