2010-10-25first pass at converting bfg to pyramid namespaceChris McDonough
2010-09-08- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` constructor (not an API) nowChris McDonough
accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper.connect`` method (not an API) now accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now has a ``get_route`` method which returns a single Route object or ``None``. - A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoute`` was added. The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` object implements this interface. - The canonical attribute for accessing the routing pattern from a route object is now ``pattern`` rather than ``path``. - The argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` which was previously called ``path`` is now called ``pattern`` for better explicability. For backwards compatibility purposes, passing a keyword argument named ``path`` to ``add_route`` will still work indefinitely. - The ``path`` attribute to the ZCML ``route`` directive is now named ``pattern`` for better explicability. The older ``path`` attribute will continue to work indefinitely. - All narrative, API, and tutorial docs which referred to a route pattern as a ``path`` have now been updated to refer to them as a ``pattern``. - The routesalchemy template has been updated to use ``pattern`` in its route declarations rather than ``path``.
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.

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
2009-12-17FeaturesChris 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.
2009-12-09- General documentation freshening which takes imperativeChris McDonough
configuration into account in more places and uses glossary references more liberally.
2009-12-03- ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` now accepts a new constructorChris McDonough
keyword argument: ``__provides__``. If this constructor argument is provided, it should be an interface or a tuple of interfaces. The resulting model will then provide these interfaces (they will be attached to the constructed model via ``zope.interface.alsoProvides``).
2009-11-28Get rid of these mentionings of zope.component for grep purposes.Chris McDonough
2009-11-28- Unit tests which use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` for theChris McDonough
purpose of isolating tests from one another may now begin to fail due to lack of isolation between tests. Here's why: In repoze.bfg 1.1 and prior, the registry returned by ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no other registry had been pushed on to the threadlocal stack was the ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry (aka the result of ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager()``). In repoze.bfg 1.2+, however, the registry returned in this situation is the new module-scope ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object. The ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function clears the ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry unconditionally. However, it does not know about the ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object, so it does not clear it. If you use the ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function in the ``setUp`` of test cases in your unit test suite instead of using the (more correct as of 1.1) ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``, you will need to replace all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a call to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``. If replacing all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a call to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` is infeasible, you can put this bit of code somewhere that is executed exactly **once** (*not* for each test in a test suite; in the `` __init__.py`` of your package would be a reasonable place):: import zope.testing.cleanup from repoze.bfg.testing import setUp zope.testing.cleanup.addCleanUp(setUp) - When there is no "current registry" in the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.manager`` threadlocal data structure (this is the case when there is no "current request" or we're not in the midst of a ``r.b.testing.setUp``-bounded unit test), the ``.get`` method of the manager returns a data structure containing a *global* registry. In previous releases, this function returned the global Zope "base" registry: the result of ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``, which is an instance of the ``zope.component.registry.Component`` class. In this release, however, the global registry returns a globally importable instance of the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` class. This registry instance can always be imported as ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``. Effectively, this means that when you call ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no request or ``setUp`` bounded unit test is in effect, you will always get back the global registry that lives in ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``. It also means that :mod:`repoze.bfg` APIs that *call* ``get_current_registry`` will use this registry. This change was made because :mod:`repoze.bfg` now expects the registry it uses to have a slightly different API than a bare instance of ``zope.component.registry.Components``.

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.

request rather than a FakeRequest when it sets up the request as a threadlocal. - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` API now uses a 'real' WebOb request rather than a FakeRequest when it calls the traverser. - The ``repoze.bfg.request.FakeRequest`` class has been removed. ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root`` Each of these functions now expects to be called with a request object that has a ``registry`` attribute which represents the current ZCA registry. Get rid of extraneous uses of ZCA threadlocal API.
2009-11-19- Each of the ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view``,Chris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_iterable``, ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response``, ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view``, ``repoze.bfg.view.default_notfound_view``, ``repoze.bfg.view.default_forbidden_view``, and the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response`` functions now expects to be called with a request object that has a ``registry`` attribute which represents the current ZCA registry. This should only be a problem when passing a custom request object to code which ends up calling these functions in a unit test. To retrofit tests that end up calling these functions which expect to be able to use a non-registry-aware request object, use the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_request`` API in the test to create the request; this will return a ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyRequest`` that has the current registry as its ``registry`` attribute. Alternatively, use the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` API: call this function and add an attribute to your unit test request object named ``registry`` with the result. - The ``repoze.bfg.view.derive_view`` callable has been removed. Use ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.derive_view`` instead (still not an API, however).

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.
2009-10-10- 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.
