Contributing to the Network Linux System Role
=============================================
Where to start
--------------
- **Bugs and needed implementations** are listed on [Github
Issues](https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/issues). Issues labeled with
[**help
wanted**](https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22)
are likely to be suitable for new contributors!
- **Code** is managed on
[Github](https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network), using [Pull
Requests](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests).
- The code needs to be **compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8**.
Code structure
--------------
The repository is structured as follows:
- `./defaults/` - Contains the default role configuration.
- `./examples/` - Contains YAML examples for different configurations.
- `./library/network_connections.py` - Contains the internal Ansible module, which is
the main script. It controls the communication between the role and Ansible, imports
the YAML configuration and applies the changes to the provider (i.e. NetworkManager,
initscripts).
- `./meta/` - Metadata of the project.
- `./module_utils/network_lsr/` - Contains other files that are useful for the network
role (e.g. the YAML argument validator)
- `./tasks/` - Declaration of the different tasks that the role is going to execute.
- `./tests/playbooks/` - Contains the complete tests for the role. `./tests/test_*.yml`
are shims to run tests once for every provider. `./tests/tasks/` contains task
snippets that are used in multiple tests to avoid having the same code repeated
multiple times.
The rest of files in the root folder mostly serve as configuration files for diferent
testing tools and bots that help with the manteinance of the project.
The code files will always have the imports on the first place, followed by constants
and in the last place, classes and methods. The style of python coding for this project
is [**PEP 8**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/), with automatic formatting
thanks to [Python Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). Make sure to install
the formatter, it will help you a lot throughout the whole coding process!
Configuring Git
---------------
Before starting to contribute, make sure you have the basic git configuration: Your name
and email. This will be useful when signing your contributions. The following commands
will set your global name and email, althought you can change it later for every repo:
```bash
git config --global user.name "Jane Doe"
git config --global user.email janedoe@example.com
```
The git editor is your system's default. If you feel more comfortable with a different
editor for writing your commits (such as Vim), change it with:
```bash
git config --global core.editor vim
```
If you want to check your settings, use `git config --list` to see all the settings Git
can find.
How to contribute
-----------------
1. Make a
[fork](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo)
of this repository.
2. Create a new git branch on your local fork (the name is not relevant) and make the
changes you need to complete an issue.
3. Do not forget to run unit and integration tests before pushing any changes!
1. This project uses [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to run unit tests.
You can try it with `tox -e py36` in case you want to try it using Python 3.6, or
just `tox` if you want to run all the tests.
2. Check the formatting of the code with
[Python Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
3. Check the YAML files are correctly formatted using `tox -e yamllint`.
4. Integration tests are executed as
[Ansible Playbooks](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks.html).
To run them you can use a cloud image like the [CentOS Linux 8.1
VM](https://cloud.centos.org/centos/8/x86_64/images/CentOS-8-GenericCloud-8.1.1911-20200113.3.x86_64.qcow2)
and execute the command and download the package
`standard-test-roles-inventory-qemu` from the Fedora repository:
```bash
dnf install standard-test-roles-inventory-qemu
```
Note that the last path is the one of the test you want to run:
```bash
TEST_SUBJECTS=CentOS-8-GenericCloud-8.1.1911-20200113.3.x86_64.qcow2 \
ansible-playbook -v -i /usr/share/ansible/inventory/standard-inventory-qcow2 \
tests/test_default.yml
```
5. Check the markdown format with
[mdl](https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint) after changing any
markdown document.
4. Once the work is ready and commited, push the branch to your remote fork and click on
"new Pull Request" on Github.
5. All set! Now wait for the continuous integration to pass and go over your commit if
there are any errors. If there is no problem with your contribution, the mantainer
will merge it to the main project.
### Find other images for testing
The CentOS project publishes cloud images for
[CentOS Linux 6](https://cloud.centos.org/centos/6/images/),
[CentOS Linux 7](https://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/) and
[CentOS Linux 8](https://cloud.centos.org/centos/8/x86_64/images/).
- For qemu testing cases, we prefer the image architecture to be `x86_64-GenericCloud`.
- `2003` in `CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud-2003.qcow2c` stands for image released in
March 2020.
- We can use the image with extension `.qcow2` and `.qcow2c`.
- To save the image, right click on the link above, then select "Save link as...".
For Fedora, we recommend to use the [latest qcow2
images](https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/cloud/).
### Some important tips
- Make sure your fork and branch are up-to-date with the main project. First of all,
[configure a remote upstream for your
fork](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-a-remote-for-a-fork),
and keep your branch up-to-date with the upstream using
`git pull --rebase upstream main`.
- Try to make a commit per issue.
- If you are asked to make changes to your PR, don't panic! Many times it is enough to
amend your previous commit adding the new content to it (`git commit --amend`). Be
sure to pull the latest upstream changes after that, and use `git push
--force-with-lease` to re-upload your commit with the changes! Another way of doing
changes to a PR is by [squashing
commits](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-request-merges#squash-and-merge-your-pull-request-commits).
- There are times when someone has made changes on a file you were modifying while you
were making changes to your unfinished commit. At times like this, you need to make a
[**rebase**](https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/about-git-rebase) with
conflicts. On the rebase you have to compare what the other person added to what you
added, and merge both file versions into one that combines it all.
- If you have any doubt, do not hesitate to ask! You can join IRC channel \#systemroles
on freenode, or ask on the PR/issue itself.
### Naming Ansible Items
- All YAML or Python files, variables, arguments, repositories, and other such names
should follow standard Python naming conventions of being in
`snake_case_naming_schemes`.
- Names should be mnemonic and descriptive and not strive to shorten more than
necessary. Systems support long identifier names, so use them to be descriptive
- All defaults and all arguments to a role should have a name that begins with the role
name to help avoid collision with other names. Avoid names like `packages` in favor of
a name like `network_packages`.
- Same argument applies for modules provided in the roles, they also need a `$ROLENAME_`
prefix: `network_module`. While they are usually implementation details and not intended
for direct use in playbooks, the unfortunate fact is that importing a role makes them
available to the rest of the playbook and therefore creates opportunities for name
collisions.
- Moreover, internal variables (those that are not expected to be set by users) are to
be prefixed by two underscores: `__network_variable`. This includes variables set by
`set_fact` and `register`, because they persist in the namespace after the role has
finished!
- Do not use special characters other than underscore in variable names, even if
YAML/JSON allow them. (Using such variables in Jinja2 or Python would be then very
confusing and probably not functional.)
*Find more explanation on this matter in the [meta
standards](https://github.com/oasis-roles/meta_standards#naming-things).*
### Write a good commit message
Here are a few rules to keep in mind while writing a commit message
1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
3. Capitalize the subject line
4. Do not end the subject line with a period
5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
A good commit message looks something like this:
```text
Summarize changes in around 50 characters or less
More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Wrap it to about 72
characters or so. In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
subject of the commit and the rest of the text as the body. The
blank line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless
you omit the body entirely); various tools like `log`, `shortlog`
and `rebase` can get confused if you run the two together.
Explain the problem that this commit is solving. Focus on why you
are making this change as opposed to how (the code explains that).
Are there side effects or other unintuitive consequences of this
change? Here's the place to explain them.
Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
- Bullet points are okay, too
- Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded
by a single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions
vary here
If you use an issue tracker, put references to them at the bottom,
like this:
Resolves: #123
See also: #456, #789
Do not forget to sign your commit! Use `git commit -s`
```

```
### Debugging
When using the `nm` provider, NetworkManager create a checkpoint and reverts the changes
on failures. This makes it hard to debug the error. To disable this, set the Ansible
variable `__network_debug_flags` to include the value `disable-checkpoints`. Also tests
clean up by default in case there are failures. They should be tagged as
`tests::cleanup` and can be skipped. To use both, run the test playbooks like this:
```bash
ansible-playbook --skip-tags tests::cleanup \
-e "__network_debug_flags=disable-checkpoints" \
-i testhost, tests/playbooks/tests_802_1x.yml
```
### NetworkManager Documentation
- [NM 1.0](https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#NM-1.0), it contains a full explanation
about the NetworkManager API.
### Integration tests with podman
1. Create `~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/containers/podman/` if this
directory does not exist and `cd` into this directory.
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/containers/podman/
cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/containers/podman/
```
2. Clone the collection plugins for Ansible-Podman into the current directory.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/containers/ansible-podman-collections.git .
```
3. Change directory into the `tests` subdirectory.
```bash
cd ~/network/tests
```
4. Use podman with `-d` to run in the background (daemon). Use `c7` because
`centos/systemd` is centos7.
```bash
podman run --name lsr-ci-c7 --rm --privileged -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
-d registry.centos.org/centos/systemd
```
5. Use `podman unshare` first to run "podman mount" in root mode, use `-vi` to run
ansible as inventory in verbose mode, use `-c podman` to use collection plugins. Note,
the following tests are currently not working with podman:
- `tests_802_1x_nm.yml`
- `tests_802_1x_updated_nm.yml`
- `tests_bond_initscripts.yml`
- `tests_bond_nm.yml`
- `tests_bridge_initscripts.yml`
- `tests_bridge_nm.yml`
- `tests_default_nm.yml`
- `tests_ethernet_nm.yml`
- `tests_reapply_nm.yml`
- `tests_states_nm.yml`
- `tests_vlan_mtu_initscripts.yml`
- `tests_vlan_mtu_nm.yml`
- `tests_wireless_nm.yml`
```bash
podman unshare
ansible-playbook -vi lsr-ci-c7, -c podman tests_provider_nm.yml
```
6. NOTE that this leaves the container running in the background, to kill it:
```bash
podman stop lsr-ci-c7
podman rm lsr-ci-c7
```
### Continuous integration
The [continuous integration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration) (CI)
contains a set of automated tests that are triggered on a remote server. Some of them
are immediately triggered when pushing new content to a PR (i.e. the tests hosted on
TravisCI) while other need to be triggered by members of the project. This second
set of tests can be manually triggered. To trigger them, write a command as a PR
comment. The available commands are:
- [citest] - Trigger a re-test for all machines.
- [citest bad] - Trigger a re-test for all machines with an error or failure status.
- [citest pending] - Trigger a re-test for all machines with a pending status.
- [citest commit:<sha1\>] - Whitelist a commit to be tested if the submitter is not
trusted.
