2009-12-09- Added "Thread Locals" narrative chapter to documentation, and addedChris McDonough
a API chapter documenting the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocals`` module.
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``.

-------- - 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.

2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``,Chris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``. These classes were disused with the introduction of the ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery.
2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used inChris McDonough
