If there is a non-zero number of arguments, run_tests.sh now passes through the arguments to `manage.py test`, skipping the default horizon/openstack_dashboard suites. The correct settings module is chosen based on the first module given in the argument. E.g., horizon.test.tests.tables chooses the horizon.test.settings module.

Horizon (OpenStack Dashboard)
Horizon is a Django-based project aimed at providing a complete
OpenStack Dashboard along with an extensible framework for building new
dashboards from reusable components. The
openstack_dashboard
module is a reference implementation of
a Django site that uses the horizon
app to provide
web-based interactions with the various OpenStack projects.

Dependencies
To get started you will need to install Node.js (http://nodejs.org/) on your machine. Node.js is used with Horizon in order to use LESS (http://lesscss.org/) for our CSS needs. Horizon is currently using Node.js v0.6.12.
For Ubuntu use apt to install Node.js:
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
For other versions of Linux, please see here:: http://nodejs.org/#download for how to install Node.js on your system.
Getting Started
For local development, first create a virtualenv for the project. In
the tools
directory there is a script to create one for
you:
$ python tools/install_venv.py
Alternatively, the run_tests.sh
script will also install
the environment for you and then run the full test suite to verify
everything is installed and functioning correctly.
Now that the virtualenv is created, you need to configure your local
environment. To do this, create a local_settings.py
file in
the openstack_dashboard/local/
directory. There is a
local_settings.py.example
file there that may be used as a
template.
If all is well you should able to run the development server locally:
$ tools/with_venv.sh manage.py runserver
or, as a shortcut:
$ ./run_tests.sh --runserver
Settings Up OpenStack
The recommended tool for installing and configuring the core OpenStack components is Devstack. Refer to their documentation for getting Nova, Keystone, Glance, etc. up and running.
Note
The minimum required set of OpenStack services running includes the following:
- Nova (compute, api, scheduler, network, and volume services)
- Glance
- Keystone
Optional support is provided for Swift.
Development
For development, start with the getting started instructions above. Once you have a working virtualenv and all the necessary packages, read on.
If dependencies are added to either horizon
or
openstack-dashboard
, they should be added to
tools/pip-requires
.
The run_tests.sh
script invokes tests and analyses on
both of these components in its process, and it is what Jenkins uses to
verify the stability of the project. If run before an environment is set
up, it will ask if you wish to install one.
To run the unit tests:
$ ./run_tests.sh
Building Contributor Documentation
This documentation is written by contributors, for contributors.
The source is maintained in the doc/source
folder using
reStructuredText
and built by Sphinx
Building Automatically:
$ ./run_tests.sh --docs
Building Manually:
$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=local.local_settings $ python doc/generate_autodoc_index.py $ sphinx-build -b html doc/source build/sphinx/html
Results are in the build/sphinx/html directory
