Deploying a code change

After having your PR reviewed and merged create a new release on github. A new pypi release will be automatically triggered by Travis.

Installing from pypi

• To install this package from pypi run:

pip install python_moztelemetry

Updating parse_histograms.py

moztelemetry/parse_histograms.py is a mirror of its counterpart from mozilla-central. To update it to the latest version you can run

bin/update_parser_scripts

Note that this file was formerly called histogram_tools.py and was renamed in Bug 1419761.

Updating message_pb2.py

moztelemetry/heka/message_pb2.py is generated from mozilla-services/heka. To regenerate it, you'll need to install a protobuf package for your system. To avoid installing go-specific extensions, remove the gogo.proto import and the gogoproto options and then run protoc:

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka
mkdir pythonfiles/
protoc -I heka/message --python_out pythonfiles/ heka/message/message.proto

Testing locally

To test/debug this package locally, you can run exactly the job that CircleCI runs for continuous integration by installing the CircleCI local CLI and invoking:

circleci build --job py36

See [.circleci/config.yml] for the other configured job names (for running tests on different python versions).

The above process takes a few minutes to run every time, so there is also a bin/test script that builds a docker image and python environment (both of which are cached locally) and allows you to run a subset of tests. Here are some sample invocations:

./bin/test tests/ -k test_unpack  # runs only tests with key "test_unpack"
./bin/test tests/heka/            # runs only tests in tests/heka
PYTHON_VERSION=2.7 ./bin/test     # specify a python version

It's also possible to run the tests locally outside of docker by invoking tox directly, but the details of doing so depend on your local development environment and are outside the scope of these docs. Be aware that you will need to have a working installation of Java and libsnappy, likely via your OS's package manager (i.e. brew install snappy on MacOS).

If you're receiving mysterious errors, try removing cached files via:

./bin/clean
