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).
2009-11-19- The ``repoze.bfg.view.rendered_response`` function has been moved toChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response``. - The ``repoze.bfg.view.decorate_view`` function has been moved to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.decorate_view``. - The ``repoze.bfg.view.MultiView`` class has been moved to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.MultiView``. - Fix argument ordering bug in r.b.configuration.Configurator.resource.

2009-11-16Failing one test.Chris McDonough
2009-11-01- The ``repoze.bfg.functional`` module was renamed toChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.compat``.
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).
2009-10-21- Change how ``bfg_view`` decorator works when used as a class methodChris McDonough
decorator. In 1.1a7, it actually tried to grope every class in scanned package at startup time looking for methods, which led to some strange symptoms (e.g. ``AttributeError: object has no attribute __provides__``). Now, instead of groping methods at startup time, we just cause the ``bfg_view`` decorator itself to populate its class' __dict__ when its used inside a class as a method decorator. This is essentially a reversion back to 1.1a6 "grokking" behavior plus some special magic for using the ``bfg_view`` decorator as method decorator inside the ``bfg_view`` class itself.
2009-10-18- More than one ``@bfg_view`` decorator may now be stacked on top ofChris McDonough
any number of others. Each invocation of the decorator registers a single view. For instance, the following combination of decorators and a function will register two views:: from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view @bfg_view(name='edit') @bfg_view(name='change') def edit(context, request): pass This makes it possible to associate more than one view configuration for a single callable without requiring ZCML.
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.
2009-09-30Use API to get routes.Chris McDonough
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.
2009-09-22Use dictionary instead of DummySettings.Chris McDonough
2009-09-22__is_bfg_view__ -> __bfg_view_settings__Chris McDonough
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.
2009-09-17Move view-related helper functions from zcml.py to view.py.Chris McDonough
2009-09-16Coverage.Chris McDonough
2009-09-16Checkpoint. Not 100% test coverage.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.
2009-09-06Merge 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).
2009-08-14- Move (non-API) default_view, default_forbidden_view, andChris McDonough
default_notfound_view functions into the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module (moved from ``repoze.bfg.router``).
2009-06-30- Add a ``reload_resources`` configuration file setting (aka theChris McDonough
``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` environment variable). When this is set to true, the server never needs to be restarted when moving files between directory resource overrides (esp. for templates currently). - Add a ``reload_all`` configuration file setting (aka the ``BFG_RELOAD_ALL`` environment variable) that implies both ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_templates``. - The ``static`` helper view class now uses a ``PackageURLParser`` in order to allow for the overriding of static resources (CSS / logo files, etc) using the ``resource`` ZCML directive. The ``PackageURLParser`` class was added to a (new) ``static`` module in BFG; it is a subclass of the ``StaticURLParser`` class in ``paste.urlparser``. - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function now checks for the ``reload_resources`` setting; if it's true, it does not register a template renderer (it won't use the registry as a template renderer cache). - Add ``pkg_resources`` to the glossary. - Update the "Environment" docs to note the existence of ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_all``. - Use a colon instead of a tab as the separator between package name and relpath to form the "spec" when register a ITemplateRenderer.
2009-05-31Test string request type in bfg_view decorators.Chris McDonough
2009-05-27Merge authchanges branch to trunk.Chris McDonough
2009-05-21- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML andChris McDonough
via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters (conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method). When called, the instance should return a response. For example:: from webob import Response class MyView(object): def __init__(self, context, request): self.context = context self.request = request def __call__(self): return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context) See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the ``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.

2009-01-24Behavior ChangesChris McDonough
---------------- - The ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response`` API will no longer raise a ValueError if an object returned by a view function it calls does not possess certain attributes (``headerlist``, ``app_iter``, ``status``). This API used to attempt to perform a check using the ``is_response`` function in ``repoze.bfg.view``, and raised a ``ValueError`` if the ``is_response`` check failed. The responsibility is now the caller's to ensure that the return value from a view function is a "real" response. - WSGI environ dicts passed to ``repoze.bfg`` 's Router must now contain a REQUEST_METHOD key/value; if they do not, a KeyError will be raised (speed). Implementation Changes ---------------------- - Various speed micro-tweaks.

2009-01-17- Allow the ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper to be passed a relativeChris McDonough
``root_path`` name; it will be considered relative to the file in which it was called.
2009-01-16- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper now usesChris McDonough
``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on howgrown WSGI code.
2009-01-16FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - The functionality of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` has been merged into the core. Applications which make use of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` will continue to work indefinitely, but it is recommended that apps stop depending upon it. To do so, substitute imports of ``repoze.bfg.convention.bfg_view`` with imports of ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``, and change the stanza in ZCML from ``<convention package=".">`` to ``<grok package=".">``. As a result of the merge, bfg has grown a new dependency: ``martian``. - View functions which use the pushpage decorator are now pickleable (meaning their use won't prevent a ``configure.zcml.cache`` file from being written to disk). Implementation Changes ---------------------- - The ``wsgiapp`` decorator now uses ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on howgrown WSGI code.
2009-01-15Get rid of _getFUT.Chris McDonough
2009-01-15Clean up unused stuff.Chris McDonough
2009-01-15- Instead of invariably using ``webob.Request`` as the "requestChris McDonough
factory" (e.g. in the ``Router`` class) and ``webob.Response`` and the "response factory" (e.g. in ``render_template_to_response``), allow both to be overridden via a ZCML utility hook. See the "Using ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation for more information.
2009-01-06 - A ``static`` helper class was added to the ``repoze.bfg.views``Chris McDonough
module. Instances of this class are willing to act as BFG views which return static resources using files on disk. See the :mod:`repoze.bfg.view` docs for more info.
2008-11-02 FeaturesChris McDonough
- The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization`` config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the debugger and print statements in your own code. - Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true. - The format of authorization debug messages was improved. - A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain the same debugging information. - ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes. - Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and ``debug_authorization``). Documentation - Added info about debug flag changes. - Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``).
2008-10-28 - If the ``render_view_to_response`` function was called, if theChris McDonough
view was found and called, but it returned something that did not implement IResponse, the error would pass by unflagged. This was noticed when I created a view function that essentially returned None, but received a NotFound error rather than a ValueError when the view was rendered. This was fixed.
2008-09-01Add render_view function.Chris McDonough
2008-09-01 - New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functionsChris McDonough
named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API docs. These features aid programmatic (non-request-driven) view execution.
2008-07-19 - The concept of "view factories" was removed in favor of alwaysChris McDonough
calling a view, which is a callable that returns a response directly (as opposed to returning a view). As a result, the ``factory`` attribute in the bfg:view ZCML statement has been renamed to ``view``. Various interface names were changed also. - ``render_template`` and ``render_transform`` no longer return a Response object. Instead, these return strings. The old behavior can be obtained by using ``render_template_to_response`` and ``render_transform_to_response``.
