Buildspecs Interface

Now that we learned how to build tests, in this section we will discuss how one can query a buildspec cache. In buildtest, one can load all buildspecs which is equivalent to validating all buildspecs with the appropriate schema. Buildtest will ignore all invalid buildspecs and store them in a separate file.

Note

buildtest bc is an alias for buildtest buildspec command.

Finding Buildspecs - buildtest buildspec find

The buildtest buildspec find command is used for finding buildspecs from buildspec cache. This command is also used for generating the buildspec cache. Shown below is a list of options for provided for this command.

$ buildtest buildspec find --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] buildspec find [-h] [-b] [-e]
                                                     [--group-by-tags]
                                                     [--group-by-executor]
                                                     [-m] [-mb] [-p] [-t]
                                                     [--filter FILTER]
                                                     [--format FORMAT]
                                                     [--helpfilter]
                                                     [--helpformat] [-n]
                                                     [--terse] [-r]
                                                     [--root ROOT]
                                                     ...

positional arguments:
  
    invalid             Show invalid buildspecs

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r, --rebuild         Rebuild buildspec cache and find all buildspecs again
  --root ROOT           Specify root buildspecs (directory) path to load
                        buildspecs into buildspec cache.

filter and format:
  filter and format options

  --filter FILTER       Filter buildspec cache with filter fields in format
                        --filter key1=val1,key2=val2
  --format FORMAT       Format buildspec cache with format fields in format
                        --format field1,field2,...
  --helpfilter          Show Filter fields for --filter option for filtering
                        buildspec cache output
  --helpformat          Show Format fields for --format option for formatting
                        buildspec cache output

terse:
  terse options

  -n, --no-header       Print output without header in terse output
  --terse               Print output in machine readable format

query:
  query options to retrieve from buildspec cache

  -b, --buildspec       Get all buildspec files from cache
  -e, --executors       get all unique executors from buildspecs
  --group-by-tags       Group tests by tag name
  --group-by-executor   Group tests by executor name
  -m, --maintainers     Get all maintainers for all buildspecs
  -mb, --maintainers-by-buildspecs
                        Show maintainers breakdown by buildspecs
  -p, --paths           print all root buildspec paths
  -t, --tags            List all available tags

The buildtest buildspec find command will discover all buildspecs by recursively searching all .yml extensions. buildtest will validate each buildspec file with the json schema and buildtest will display all valid buildspecs in the output, all invalid buildspecs will be stored in a file for post-processing.

buildtest will load all discovered buildspecs in a cache file (JSON) which is created upon running buildtest buildspec find. Any subsequent runs will read from cache and update if any new buildspecs are added. If you make changes to buildspec you should rebuild the buildspec cache by running:

$ buildtest buildspec find --rebuild

If you want to find all buildspec files in cache you can run buildtest buildspec find --buildspec. Shown below is an example output.

$ buildtest buildspec find --buildspec
                               List of Buildspecs

The buildtest buildspec find --paths will display a list of root directories buildtest will search for buildspecs when runninh buildtest buildspec find. One can define these directories in the configuration file or pass them via command line.

$ buildtest buildspec find --paths
/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials
/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/general_tests

buildtest will search buildspecs in buildspecs root defined in your configuration, which is a list of directory paths to search for buildspecs. If you want to load buildspecs from a directory path, you can specify a directory via --root option in the format: buildtest buildspec find --root <path> --rebuild. buildtest will load all valid buildspecs into cache and ignore the rest. It’s important to add --rebuild if you want to regenerate buildspec cache.

Filtering buildspec

Once you have a buildspec cache, we can query the buildspec cache for certain attributes. When you run buildtest buildspec find it will report all buildspecs from cache which can be difficult to process. Therefore, we have a filter option (--filter) to restrict our search. Let’s take a look at the available filter fields that are acceptable with filter option.

$ buildtest buildspec find --helpfilter
             Filter Field Description              
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Field      ┃ Description               ┃ Type   ┃

│ tags       │ Filter by tag name        │ STRING │
│ type       │ Filter by schema type     │ STRING │
└────────────┴───────────────────────────┴────────┘

The --filter option expects an arguments in key=value format as follows:

buildtest buildspec find --filter key1=value1,key2=value2,key3=value3

We can filter buildspec cache by tags=fail which will query all tests with associated tag field in test.

$ buildtest buildspec find --filter tags=fail
                                buildspec cache

In addition, we can query buildspecs by schema type using type property. In this example we query all tests by type property

$ buildtest buildspec find --filter type=script
                                buildspec cache

We can filter output of buildspec cache by buildspec using --filter buildspec=<path> which expects a path to buildspec file. The buildspec must be in the cache and file path must exist in order to fetch the result. The path can be absolute or relative path.

In this next example, we will filter cache by file tutorials/pass_returncode.yml and use --format name,buildspec to format columns. The --format buildspec will show full path to buildspec and name refers to name of test. For more details on –format see Format buildspec cache.

$ buildtest buildspec find --filter buildspec=tutorials/pass_returncode.yml --format name,buildspec

Format buildspec cache

We have seen how one can filter buildspecs, but we can also configure which columns to display in the output of buildtest buildspec find. By default, we show a pre-selected format fields in the output, however there are more format fields available that can be configured at the command line.

The format fields are specified in comma separated format such as buildtest buildspec find --format <field1>,<field2>,.... You can see a list of all format fields by --helpformat option as shown below

$ buildtest buildspec find --helpformat
              Format Field Description

In the next example, we utilize --format field with --filter option to show how format fields affect table columns. buildtest will display the table in order of format fields specified in command line.

Querying buildspec tags

If you want to retrieve all unique tags from all buildspecs you can run buildtest buildspec find --tags. This can be useful if you want to know available tags in your buildspec cache.

In addition, buildtest can group tests by tags via buildtest buildspec find --group-by-tags which can be useful if you want to know which tests get executed when running buildtest build --tags. The output is grouped by tag names, followed by name of test and description.

$ buildtest buildspec find --group-by-tags

Querying buildspec executor

If you want to know all executors in your buildspec cache use the buildtest buildspec find --executors command. This can be useful when you want to build by executors (buildtest build --executor).

$ buildtest buildspec find --executors
     List of Executors

Similar to --group-by-tags, buildtest has an option to group tests by executor using --group-by-executor option. This will show tests grouped by executor, name of test and test description. Shown below is an example output.

$ buildtest buildspec find --group-by-executor

Query Maintainers

When you are writing your buildspecs, you can specify the maintainers field to assign authors to buildspecs. buildtest can query the maintainers from the cache once buildspecs are loaded. You can retrieve all maintainers using --maintainers option or -m short option. In this example, we show all maintainers for buildspecs in buildspec cache

$ buildtest buildspec find --maintainers
List of Maintainers 
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Maintainers      ┃

│ @johndoe         │

If you want to see a breakdown of maintainers by buildspec file you can use --maintainers-by-buildspecs or -mb short option. This can be useful to get correlation between maintainers and the buildspec file.

$ buildtest buildspec find -mb
                     Breakdown of buildspecs by maintainers

Terse Output

You can use the --terse option to print output of buildtest buildspec find in terse format that can be useful if you want to parse content of file. In example below, we will print output of tags in terse format, the first entry tags is the header followed by list of unique tags. The --no-header option can be used to disable printing of header title.

$ buildtest buildspec find -t --terse

Invalid Buildspecs - buildtest buildspec find invalid

buildtest will store invalid buildspecs in the cache file which can be retrieved using buildtest buildspec find invalid. buildtest will attempt to parse each buildspec and store error message for every buildspec. If you run without any options it will report a list of invalid buildspecs as shown below

$ buildtest buildspec find invalid
                               Invalid Buildspecs

Validate Buildspecs - buildtest buildspec validate

buildtest can validate buildspecs through the buildtest buildspec validate command which provides analogous options for buildtest build for selecting buildspecs such as -b, -e, -t and -e. This command can be used to validate buildspecs with the JSON Schema which can be useful if you are writing a buildspec and want to validate the buildspec without running the test.

Shown below are the available command options.

$ buildtest buildspec validate --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] buildspec validate [-h] [-b BUILDSPEC]
                                                         [-x EXCLUDE]
                                                         [-e EXECUTOR]
                                                         [-t TAG]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BUILDSPEC, --buildspec BUILDSPEC
                        Specify path to buildspec (file, or directory) to
                        validate
  -x EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE
                        Specify path to buildspec to exclude (file or
                        directory) during validation
  -e EXECUTOR, --executor EXECUTOR
                        Specify buildspecs by executor name to validate
  -t TAG, --tag TAG     Specify buildspecs by tag name to validate

The -b option can be used to specify path to buildspec file or directory to validate buildspecs. If its a directory, buildtest will traverse all directories recursively and find any .yml file extensions and attempt to validate each buildspec. Shown below is an example output of what it may look like

$ buildtest buildspec validate -b tutorials/vars.yml
Processing buildspec: /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials/vars.yml
All buildspecs passed validation!!!

If buildtest detects an error during validation, the error message will be displayed to screen as we see in this example

$ buildtest buildspec validate -b tutorials/invalid_tags.yml
─ /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.… ─
<ValidationError: "['network', 'network'] is not valid under any of the given schemas">


Processing buildspec: /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials/invalid_tags.yml
1 buildspecs failed to validate

Similarly we can search buildspecs based on tags if you want to validate a group of buildspecs using the -t option. We can append -t option multiple times to search by multiple tag names. In this next example, we will validate all buildspecs for python and pass tags.

$ buildtest buildspec validate -t python -t pass
Processing buildspec: /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials/python-hello.yml
Processing buildspec: /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials/python-shell.yml
Processing buildspec: /home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.13.0/tutorials/pass_returncode.yml
All buildspecs passed validation!!!

Edit buildspecs buildtest edit

Note

buildtest et is an alias for buildtest edit command.

The buildtest edit command can be used to edit buildspec with your preferred editor defined by environment $EDITOR, if this environment is not set buildtest will resort to vim. Once you make change, the file will be written back to disk and validated with the jsonschema. If it passes validation you will see a message such as follows:

$ buildtest edit tutorials/vars.yml
Writing file: /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest.tmp/tutorials/vars.yml
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest.tmp/tutorials/vars.yml is valid

If there is an error during validation, buildtest will print the exception to stdout and it is your responsibility to fix the buildspec based on error message. In example below, the user provided an invalid value for type field.

$ buildtest edit tutorials/vars.yml
Writing file: /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest.tmp/tutorials/vars.yml

Show buildspec buildtest buildspec show

buildtest can display content of buildspec file given a test name via buildtest buildspec show command which expects a positional argument that is the name of test. This can be quick way to see content of buildspec without remembering the full path to the buildspec.

In this next example, we will instruct buildtest to show content of buildspec for test name python_hello.

$ buildtest buildspec show python_hello

There is bash completion for this command which will show list of test names available in the cache assuming you have run buildtest buildspec find. If you specify an invalid test name you will get an error followed by list of tests that are available in the cache
