2010-09-13- Call response callbacks *after* INewResponse event.Chris McDonough
- Rearrange router logic so that start_response is not called until there is no chance of an exception occurring.
2010-09-13FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - A ``request.matched_route`` attribute is now added to the request when a route has matched. Its value is the "route" object that matched (see the ``IRoute`` interface within ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation for the API of a route object). - The ``exception`` attribute of the request is now set slightly earlier and in a slightly different set of scenarios, for benefit of "finished callbacks" and "response callbacks". In previous versions, the ``exception`` attribute of the request was not set at all if an exception view was not found. In this version, the ``request.exception`` attribute is set immediately when an exception is caught by the router, even if an exception view could not be found. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The router no longer sets the value ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` into the environ when a route matches. The value used to be something like ``((), matchdict)``. This functionality was only ever obliquely referred to in change logs; it was never documented as an API. - The ``exception`` attribute of the request now defaults to ``None``. In prior versions, the ``request.exception`` attribute did not exist if an exception was not raised by user code during request processing; it only began existence once an exception view was found. Deprecations ------------ - References to the WSGI environment values ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` and ``bfg.routes.route`` were removed from documentation. These will stick around internally for several more releases, but it is ``request.matchdict`` and ``request.matched_route`` are now the "official" way to obtain the matchdict and the route object which resulted in the match. Documentation ------------- - Added two sections to the "Hooks" chapter of the documentation: "Using Response Callbacks" and "Using Finished Callbacks". - Added documentation of the ``request.exception`` attribute to the ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` API documentation. - Added glossary entries for "response callback" and "finished callback". - The "Request Processing" narrative chapter has been updated to note finished and response callback steps.
2010-09-12- Add a new request API: ``request.add_finished_callback``. FinishedChris McDonough
callbacks are called by the router unconditionally near the very end of request processing.
2010-09-12remove FinishedEvent (bad idea)Chris McDonough
2010-09-12- The BFG router now emits an additional event unconditionally at theChris McDonough
end of request processing: ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IFinishedRequest``. This event is meant to be used when it is necessary to perform unconditional cleanup after request processing. See the ``repoze.bfg.events.FinishedRequest`` class documentation for more information. - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` event interface was renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IApplicationCreated``. Likewise, the ``repoze.bfg.events.WSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` class was renamed to ``repoze.bfg.events.ApplicationCreated``. The older aliases will continue to work indefinitely. - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal`` event interface was renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextFound``. Likewise, the ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraveral`` class was renamed to ``repoze.bfg.events.ContextFound``. The older aliases will continue to work indefinitely.
2010-09-06- Process the response callbacks and the NewResponse event earlier, toChris McDonough
enable mutations to the response to take effect.
2010-09-06- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewResponse`` interface now includes aChris McDonough
``request`` attribute; as a result, a handler for INewResponse now has access to the request which caused the response. - The INewResponse event is now not sent to listeners if the response returned by view code (or a renderer) is not a "real" response (e.g. if it does not have ``.status``, ``.headerlist`` and ``.app_iter`` attribtues).
2010-09-05DocumentationChris McDonough
------------- - Add an API chapter for the ``repoze.bfg.request`` module, which includes documentation for the ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class (the "request object"). - Modify the "Request and Response" narrative chapter to reference the new ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. Some content was moved from this chapter into the API documentation itself. Features -------- - A new ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` API has been added. This method is documented in the new ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. It can be used to influence response values before a concrete response object has been created. Internal -------- - The (internal) feature which made it possible to attach a ``global_response_headers`` attribute to the request (which was assumed to contain a sequence of header key/value pairs which would later be added to the response by the router), has been removed. The functionality of ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` takes its place.
2010-07-24- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists:Chris McDonough
``set_request_factory``. If used, this method will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Hooks`` narrative chapter now contains a section about changing the request factory.

2010-01-03Reformat,.Chris McDonough
2009-12-17FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - 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.
2009-12-10- Added a "Special Exceptions" section to the "Views" narrativeChris McDonough
documentation chapter explaining the effect of raising ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` from within view code. - When the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` error is raised from within a custom root factory or the ``factory`` of a route, the appropriate response is now sent to the requesting user agent (the result of the notfound view or the forbidden view, respectively). When these errors are raised from within a root factory, the ``context`` passed to the notfound or forbidden view will be ``None``. Also, the request will not be decorated with ``view_name``, ``subpath``, ``context``, etc. as would normally be the case if traversal had been allowed to take place.

2009-11-10Make the docs not lie about argument order.Chris McDonough
2009-11-10TemplatesChris McDonough
--------- - Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and its import from all paster templates, samples, and tutorials for ``distribute`` compatibility. The documentation already explains how to install virtualenv (which will include some ``setuptools`` package), so these files, imports and usages were superfluous. Deprecations ------------ - The ``options`` kw arg to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` function is deprecated. In its place is the keyword argument ``settings``. The ``options`` keyword continues to work, and a deprecation warning is not emitted when it is detected. However, the paster templates, code samples, and documentation now make reference to ``settings`` rather than ``options``. This change/deprecation was mainly made for purposes of clarity and symmetry with the ``get_settings()`` API and dicussions of "settings" in various places in the docs: we want to use the same name to refer to the same thing everywhere.
2009-11-02- Add a new event type: ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraversal``. EventsChris McDonough
of this type will be sent after traversal is completed, but before any view code is invoked. Like ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest``, This event will have a single attribute: ``request`` representing the current request. Unlike the request attribute of ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest`` however, during an AfterTraversal event, the request object will possess attributes set by the traverser, most notably ``context``, which will be the context used when a view is found and invoked. The interface ``repoze.bfg.events.IAfterTraversal`` can be used to subscribe to the event. For example:: <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal" handler="my.app.handle_after_traverse"/> Like any framework event, a subscriber function should expect one parameter: ``event``.
2009-10-31Comment logical parts of Router.__call__Chris McDonough
2009-10-31- Explicitly revert the feature introduced in 1.1a8: where the nameChris McDonough
``root`` is available as an attribute of the request before a NewRequest event is emitted. This makes some potential future features impossible, or at least awkward (such as grouping traversal and view lookup into a single adapter lookup).
2009-10-30- The ``__call__`` of a plugin "traverser" implementation (registeredChris McDonough
as an adapter for ``ITraverser`` or ``ITraverserFactory``) will now receive a *request* as the single argument to its ``__call__`` method. In previous versions it was passed a WSGI ``environ`` object. The request object passed to the factory implements dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing traverser code which expects to be passed an environ will continue to work. - Fix docs.
2009-10-30FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - In previous versions of BFG, the "root factory" (the ``get_root`` callable passed to ``make_app`` or a function pointed to by the ``factory`` attribute of a route) was called with a "bare" WSGI environment. In this version, and going forward, it will be called with a ``request`` object. The request object passed to the factory implements dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing root factory code which expects to be passed an environ will continue to work. Internal -------- - The request implements dictionary-like methods that mutate and query the WSGI environ. This is only for the purpose of backwards compatibility with root factories which expect an ``environ`` rather than a request. - The ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory`` function, which returned a request factory was removed in favor of a ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface`` function, which returns an interface. - The ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class, which is a subclass of ``webob.Request`` now defines its own ``__setattr__``, ``__getattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` methods, which override the default WebOb behavior. The default WebOb behavior stores attributes of the request in ``self.environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']``, and retrieves them from that dictionary during a ``__getattr__``. This behavior was undesirable for speed and "expectation" reasons. Now attributes of the ``request`` are stored in ``request.__dict__`` (as you otherwise might expect from an object that did not override these methods). - Reverse the order in which the router calls the request factory and the root factory. The request factory is now called first; the resulting request is passed to the root factory. - The ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function has been removed. Its functionality is no longer required. - The "routes root factory" that wraps the default root factory when there are routes mentioned in the configuration now attaches an interface to the request via ``zope.interface.directlyProvides``. This replaces logic in the (now-gone) ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function. - The ``route`` and ``view`` ZCML directives now register an interface as a named utility (retrieved from ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface``) rather than a request factory (the previous return value of the now-missing ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory``.
2009-10-29- The ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class, which is a subclass ofChris McDonough
``webob.Request`` now defines its own ``__setattr__``, ``__getattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` methods, which override the default WebOb behavior. The default WebOb behavior stores attributes of the request in ``self.environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']``, and retrieves them from that dictionary during a ``__getattr__``. This behavior was undesirable for speed and "expectation" reasons. Now attributes of the ``request`` are stored in ``request.__dict__`` (as you otherwise might expect from an object that did not override these methods). - The router no longer calls ``repoze.bfg.traversal._traverse`` and does its work "inline" (speed).
2009-10-26Dead code.Chris McDonough
2009-10-26Refactor; the ``_traverse`` is only used internally; the ``traverser`` ↵Malthe Borch
argument is never used. Note that this refactoring does away with a surplus traverser factory lookup.
2009-10-23Remove 'Respond' exception (its addition would be purely speculative: we ↵Chris McDonough
solved the reissue_time authentication policy issue a different way).
2009-10-23- Added ``max_age`` parameter to ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCMLChris McDonough
directive. If this value is set, it must be an integer representing the number of seconds which the auth tkt cookie will survive. Mainly, its existence allows the auth_tkt cookie to survive across browser sessions. - The ``reissue_time`` argument to the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML directive now actually works. When it is set to an integer value, an authticket set-cookie header is appended to the response whenever a request requires authentication and 'now' minus the authticket's timestamp is greater than ``reissue_time`` seconds. - The router now checks for a ``global_response_headers`` attribute of the request object before returning a response. If this value exists, it is presumed to be a sequence of two-tuples, representing a set of headers to append to the 'normal' response headers. This feature is internal, rather than exposed internally, because it's unclear whether it will stay around in the long term. It was added to support the ``reissue_time`` feature of the authtkt authentication policy. - The ``authtkt`` authentication policy ``remember`` method now no longer honors ``token`` or ``userdata`` keyword arguments.
2009-10-22We already have a reference to the environ.Chris McDonough
2009-10-21- The name ``root`` is available as an attribute of the requestChris McDonough
slightly earlier now (before a NewRequest event is emitted). ``root`` is the result of the application "root factory".
2009-10-21Add Respond exception.Chris McDonough
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.
2009-09-30- 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
2009-09-23- 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.
