Running Tests

Thanks for your interest in contributing to aiobotocore, there are multiple ways and places you can contribute.

Fist of all just clone repository:

$ git clone [email protected]:aio-libs/aiobotocore.git

Create virtualenv with at least python3.5 (older version are not supported). For example using virtualenvwrapper commands could look like:

$ cd aiobotocore
$ mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3.5` aiobotocore

After that please install libraries required for development:

$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ pip install -e .

Congratulations, you are ready to run the test suite:

$ make cov

To run individual use following command:

$ py.test -sv tests/test_monitor.py -k test_name

Reporting an Issue

If you have found issue with aiobotocore please do not hesitate to file an issue on the GitHub project. When filing your issue please make sure you can express the issue with a reproducible test case.

When reporting an issue we also need as much information about your environment that you can include. We never know what information will be pertinent when trying narrow down the issue. Please include at least the following information:

  • Version of aiobotocore and python.
  • Version fo botocore.
  • Platform you're running on (OS X, Linux).

Background and Implementation

aiobotocore adds async functionality to botocore by replacing certain critical methods in botocore classes with async versions. The best way to see how this works is by working backwards from AioEndpoint._request. Because of this tight integration aiobotocore is typically version locked to a particular release of botocore.

How to Upgrade Botocore

aiobotocore's file names try to match the botocore files they functionally match. For the most part botocore classes are sub-classed with the majority of the botocore calls eventually called...however certain methods like PageIterator.next_page had to be re-implemented so watch for changes in those types of methods.

The best way I've seen to upgrade botocore support is by downloading the sources of the release of botocore you're trying to upgrade to, and the version of botocore that aiobotocore is currently locked to and do a folder based file comparison (tools like DiffMerge are nice). You can then manually apply the relevant changes to their aiobotocore equivalent(s). In order to support a range of versions one would need validate the version each change was introduced and select the newest of these to the current version. This is further complicated by the aiobotocore "extras" requirements which need to be updated to the versions that are compatible with the above changes.

Notable changes we've seen in the past:

  • new parameters added
  • classes being moved to new files
  • bodies of methods being updated

basically your typical code refactoring :)

NOTE: we've added hashes of the methods we replace in test_patches.py so if a
aiohttp/botocore method changes that we depend on the test should fail.

The Future

The long term goal is that botocore will implement async functionality directly. See botocore issue: boto/botocore#458 for details, tracked in aiobotocore here: aio-libs#36
