Table of Contents

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.

Pre-requisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

  1. Python: Version specified in .python-version. We recommend using pyenv for managing Python versions.
  2. Poetry: This is used to manage package dependencies and virtual environments.
  3. Docker
  4. Operation System: Ubuntu/MacOS

Installation

  1. Clone the repository and install the required dependencies.

    git clone https://github.com/ONSdigital/ons-python-template-demo.git

  2. Install dependencies

    Poetry is used to manage dependencies in this project. For more information, read the Poetry documentation.

    To install all dependencies, including development dependencies, run:

    make install-dev

    To install only production dependencies, run:

    make install

  3. Run the application

    make run

Development

Get started with development by running the following commands. Before proceeding, make sure you have the development dependencies installed using the make install-dev command.

A Makefile is provided to simplify common development tasks. To view all available commands, run:

make

Run Tests with Coverage

The unit tests are written using the pytest framework. To run the tests and check coverage, run:

make test

Linting and Formatting

Various tools are used to lint and format the code in this project.

Python

The project uses Ruff, pylint and black for linting and formatting of the Python code.

The tools are configured using the pyproject.toml file.

To lint the Python code, run:

make lint

To auto-format the Python code, and correct fixable linting issues, run:

make format

MegaLinter (Lint/Format non-python files)

MegaLinter is utilised to lint the non-python files in the project. It offers a single interface to execute a suite of linters for multiple languages and formats, ensuring adherence to best practices and maintaining consistency across the repository without the need to install each linter individually.

MegaLinter examines various file types and tools, including GitHub Actions, Shell scripts, Dockerfile, etc. It is configured using the .mega-linter.yml file.

To run MegaLinter, ensure you have Docker installed on your system.

Note: The initial run may take some time to download the Docker image. However, subsequent executions will be considerably faster due to Docker caching. :rocket:

To start the linter and automatically rectify fixable issues, run:

make megalint
