`repobee_plug` Module Reference¶

platform¶

Platform API specifications and wrappers.

class repobee_plug.platform.APIObject[source]¶: Base wrapper class for platform API objects.

class repobee_plug.platform.Issue(title, body, number=None, created_at=None, author=None, state=None, implementation=None)[source]¶

Wrapper class for an Issue API object.

static from_dict(asdict)[source]¶

Take a dictionary produced by Issue.to_dict and reconstruct the corresponding instance. The implementation field is lost in a to_dict -> from_dict roundtrip.

Return type: Issue

to_dict()[source]¶: Return a dictionary representation of this namedtuple, without the implementation field.

class repobee_plug.platform.IssueState(value)[source]¶: Enum specifying a possible issue state.

class repobee_plug.platform.PlatformAPI(base_url, token, org_name, user)[source]¶

API base class that all API implementations should inherit from. This class functions similarly to an abstract base class, but with a few key distinctions that affect the inheriting class.

Public methods must override one of the public methods of _APISpec. If an inheriting class defines any other public method, an PlatformError is raised when the class is defined.
All public methods in _APISpec have a default implementation that simply raise a NotImplementedError. There is no requirement to implement any of them.

assign_members(team, members, permission=TeamPermission.PUSH)¶

Assign members to a team.

Parameters

team (Team) – A team to assign members to.
members (Iterable[str]) – A list of usernames to assign as members to the team. Usernames that don’t exist are ignored.
permission (TeamPermission) – The permission to add users with.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

Return type

None

assign_repo(team, repo, permission)¶

Assign a repository to a team, granting any members of the team permission to access the repository according to the specified permission.

Parameters

team (Team) – The team to assign the repository to.
repo (Repo) – The repository to assign to the team.
permission (TeamPermission) – The permission granted to the team’s members with respect to accessing the repository.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

Return type

None

close_issue(issue)¶

Close the provided issue.

Parameters: issue (Issue) – The issue to close.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.
Return type: None

create_issue(title, body, repo, assignees=None)¶

Create an issue in the provided repository.

Parameters

title (str) – Title of the issue.
body (str) – Body of the issue.
repo (Repo) – The repository in which to open the issue.
assignees (Optional[Iterable[str]]) – Usernames to assign to the issue.

Return type

Issue

Returns

The created issue.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

create_repo(name, description, private, team=None)¶

Create a repository.

If the repository already exists, it is fetched instead of created. This somewhat unintuitive behavior is to speed up repository creation, as first checking if the repository exists can be a bit inconvenient and/or inefficient depending on the platform.

Parameters

name (str) – Name of the repository.
description (str) – Description of the repository.
private (bool) – Visibility of the repository.
team (Optional[Team]) – The team the repository belongs to.

Return type

Repo

Returns

The created (or fetched) repository.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

create_team(name, members=None, permission=TeamPermission.PUSH)¶

Create a team on the platform.

Parameters

name (str) – Name of the team.
members (Optional[List[str]]) – A list of usernames to assign as members to this team. Usernames that don’t exist are ignored.
permission (TeamPermission) – The permission the team should have in regards to repository access.

Return type

Team

Returns

The created team.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform, in particular if the team already exists.

delete_repo(repo)¶

Delete a repository.

Parameters: repo (Repo) – The repository to delete.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.
Return type: None

delete_team(team)¶

Delete the provided team.

Parameters: team (Team) – The team to delete.

Return type: None

extract_repo_name(repo_url)¶

Extract a repo name from the provided url.

Parameters: repo_url (str) – A URL to a repository.
Return type: str
Returns: The name of the repository corresponding to the url.

for_organization(org_name)¶

Create a copy of this API instance, targeting the given organization.

Parameters: org_name (str) – Name of the organization to target.
Return type: PlatformAPI
Returns: A copy of the receiver API, but targeting the provided organization.

get_repo(repo_name, team_name)¶

Get a single repository.

Parameters

repo_name (str) – Name of the repository to fetch.
team_name (Optional[str]) – Name of the team that owns the repository. If None, the repository is assumed to belong to the target organization.

Return type

Repo

Returns

The fetched repository.

Raises

exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform, in particular if the repo or team does not exist.

get_repo_issues(repo)¶

Get all issues related to a repo.

Parameters: repo (Repo) – The repo to fetch issues from.
Return type: Iterable[Issue]
Returns: The issues related to the provided repo.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

get_repo_urls(assignment_names, org_name=None, team_names=None, insert_auth=False)¶

Get repo urls for all specified repo names in the organization. As checking if every single repo actually exists takes a long time with a typical REST API, this function does not in general guarantee that the urls returned actually correspond to existing repos.

If the org_name argument is supplied, urls are computed relative to that organization. If it is not supplied, the target organization is used.

If the teams argument is supplied, student repo urls are computed instead of master repo urls.

Parameters

assignment_names (Iterable[str]) – A list of master repository names.
org_name (Optional[str]) – Organization in which repos are expected. Defaults to the target organization of the API instance.
team_names (Optional[List[str]]) – A list of team names specifying student groups.

Return type

List[str]

Returns

a list of urls corresponding to the repo names.

get_repos(repo_urls=None)¶

Get repositories from the platform.

Parameters: repo_urls (Optional[List[str]]) – Repository URLs to filter the results by. URLs that do not exist on the platform are ignored. If repo_urls=None, all repos are fetched.
Return type: Iterable[Repo]
Returns: Repositories matching the filters.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

get_team_repos(team)¶

Get all repos related to a team.

Parameters: team (Team) – The team to fetch repos from.
Return type: Iterable[Repo]
Returns: The repos related to the provided team.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

get_teams(team_names=None)¶

Get teams from the platform.

Parameters: team_names (Optional[Iterable[str]]) – Team names to filter by. Names that do not exist on the platform are ignored. If team_names=None, all teams are fetched.
Return type: Iterable[Team]
Returns: Teams matching the filters.
Raises: exceptions.PlatformError – If something goes wrong in communicating with the platform.

insert_auth(url)¶

Insert authorization token into the provided URL.

Parameters: url (str) – A URL to the platform.
Return type: str
Returns: The same url, but with authorization credentials inserted.
Raises: exceptions.InvalidURL – If the provided URL does not point to anything on the platform.

static verify_settings(user, org_name, base_url, token, template_org_name=None)¶

Verify the following (to the extent that is possible and makes sense for the specific platform):

An internet connection is available
Base url is correct
The token has sufficient access privileges
Target organization (specifiend by org_name) exists
- If template_org_name is supplied, this is also checked to exist.
User is owner in organization (verify by getting
- If template_org_name is supplied, user is also checked to be an owner of it.

organization member list and checking roles)

Should raise an appropriate subclass of PlatformError when a problem is encountered.

url¶

URL to the platform repository.

Type: str

path¶: Path to the local copy of this repository.

class repobee_plug.localreps.StudentTeam(members, name='')[source]¶

config¶

Helpers related to configuration.

class repobee_plug.config.Config(config_path)[source]¶

Object representing RepoBee’s config.

This class defines read-only inheritance. This means that when you read a value from the config, for example with get(), it will do a recursive lookup in parent configs.

Writing to a config object, e.g. config[section][option] = value does not respect inheritance, and unconditionally writes to this config, and not any of its parents. Similarly, writing to disk with store() only writes to the most local config, and not to any of the parent configs.

Important

Changes to the config are only persisted if the Config.store() method is called.

Warning

The behavior of this class is currently not stable. Any minor release of RepoBee might bring breaking changes.

create_section(section_name)[source]¶

Add a section to the config.

Parameters: section_name (str) – Name of the section.

Return type

Optional[Any]

Returns

The value for the section and key, or the fallback value if neither exist.

property parent: Optional[repobee_plug.config.Config]¶

Returns the parent config if defined, otherwise None.

Return type: Optional[Config]

property path: pathlib.Path¶

Path to the config file.

Return type: Path

refresh()[source]¶

cli¶

The cli subpackage contains the specific parts to extend RepoBee’s command line interface.

Important

The vast majority of the classes and functions of this package can be accessed from the cli package. Canonical usage of most functionality is like this:

import repobee_plug as plug

class ExtCommand(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):
    is_awesome = plug.cli.flag(help="whether or not everything is awesome")

    def command(self):
        print(f"Everything is awesome = {self.is_awesome}")

args¶

Command line options for extension commands.

class repobee_plug.cli.args.ConfigurableArguments(config_section_name, argnames)[source]¶: A container for holding a plugin’s configurable arguments.

repobee_plug.cli.args.flag(short_name=None, long_name=None, help='', const=True, default=None)[source]¶

Create a command line flag for a Command or a :py:class`CommandExtension`. This is simply a convenience wrapper around option().

A flag is specified on the command line as --flag, and causes a constant to be stored. If the flag is omitted, a default value is used instead. The default behavior is that specifying --flag stores the constant True, and omitting it causes it to default to False. It can also be used to store any other form of constant by specifying the const argument. If so, then omitting the flag will cause it to default to None instead of False. Finally, the default value can also be overridden by specifying the default argument.

Example:

ext.py¶

import repobee_plug as plug


class Flags(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):
    # a normal flag, which toggles between True and False
    is_great = plug.cli.flag()
    # a "reverse" flag which defaults to True instead of False
    not_great = plug.cli.flag(const=False, default=True)
    # a flag that stores a constant and defaults to None
    meaning = plug.cli.flag(const=42)
    # a flag that stores a constant and defaults to another constant
    approve = plug.cli.flag(const="yes", default="no")

    def command(self):
        print("is_great", self.is_great)
        print("not_great", self.not_great)
        print("meaning", self.meaning)
        print("approve", self.approve)

We can then call this command (for example) like so:

$ repobee -p ext.py flags --meaning --not-great
is_great False
not_great False
meaning 42
approve no

Danger

This function returns an _Option, which is an internal structure. You should not handle this value directly, it should only ever be assigned as an attribute to a command class.

Parameters

short_name (Optional[str]) – The short name of this option. Must start with -.
long_name (Optional[str]) – The long name of this option. Must start with –.
help (str) – A description of this option that is used in the CLI help section.
const (Any) – The constant to store.
default (Optional[Any]) – The value to default to if the flag is omitted.

Return type

_Option

Returns

A CLI argument wrapper used internally by RepoBee to create command line argument.

repobee_plug.cli.args.is_cli_arg(obj)[source]¶

Determine if an object is a CLI argument.

Parameters: obj (Any) – An object.
Return type: bool
Returns: True if the object is an instance of a CLI argument class.

repobee_plug.cli.args.mutually_exclusive_group(*, __required__=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Create a mutually exclusive group of arguments in a command.

Danger

This function returns a _MutuallyExclusiveGroup, which is an internal structure. You should not handle this value directly, it should only ever be assigned as an attribute to a command class.

Parameters

__required__ – Whether or not this mutex group is required.
kwargs – Keyword arguments on the form name=plug.cli.option().

repobee_plug.cli.args.option(short_name=None, long_name=None, help='', required=False, default=None, configurable=False, converter=None, argparse_kwargs=None)[source]¶

Create an option for a Command or a CommandExtension.

Example usage:

ext.py¶

import repobee_plug as plug


class Hello(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):
    name = plug.cli.option(help="Your name.")
    age = plug.cli.option(converter=int, help="Your age.")

    def command(self):
        print(
            f"Hello, my name is {self.name} "
            f"and I am {self.age} years old"
        )

This command can then be called like so:

$ repobee -p ext.py hello --name Alice --age 22
Hello, my name is Alice and I am 22 years old

Danger

This function returns an _Option, which is an internal structure. You should not handle this value directly, it should only ever be assigned as an attribute to a command class.

Parameters

short_name (Optional[str]) – The short name of this option. Must start with -.
long_name (Optional[str]) – The long name of this option. Must start with –.
help (str) – A description of this option that is used in the CLI help section.
required (bool) – Whether or not this option is required.
default (Optional[Any]) – A default value for this option.
configurable (bool) – Whether or not this option is configurable. If an option is both configurable and required, having a value for the option in the configuration file makes the option non-required.
converter (Optional[Callable[[str], Any]]) – A converter function that takes a string and returns the argument in its proper state. Should also perform input validation and raise an error if the input is malformed.
argparse_kwargs (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Keyword arguments that are passed directly to argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument()

Return type

_Option

Returns

A CLI argument wrapper used internally by RepoBee to create command line arguments.

repobee_plug.cli.args.positional(help='', converter=None, argparse_kwargs=None)[source]¶

Create a positional argument for a Command or a CommandExtension.

Example usage:

ext.py¶

import repobee_plug as plug


class Hello(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):
    name = plug.cli.positional(help="Your name.")
    age = plug.cli.positional(converter=int, help="Your age.")

    def command(self):
        print(
            f"Hello, my name is {self.name} "
            f"and I am {self.age} years old"
        )

This command can then be called like so:

$ repobee -p ext.py hello Alice 22
Hello, my name is Alice and I am 22 years old

Danger

This function returns an _Option, which is an internal structure. You should not handle this value directly, it should only ever be assigned as an attribute to a command class.

Parameters

help (str) – The help section for the positional argument.
converter (Optional[Callable[[str], Any]]) – A converter function that takes a string and returns the argument in its proper state. Should also perform input validation and raise an error if the input is malformed.
argparse_kwargs (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Keyword arguments that are passed directly to argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument()

Return type

_Option

Returns

A CLI argument wrapper used internally by RepoBee to create command line argument.

A plugin command must have a command function defined in the class on the following form:

def command(self) -> Optional[plug.Result]:
    pass

Note that the type hints are not required, so the callback can be defined like this instead:

def command(self):
    pass

Example usage:

command.py¶

import repobee_plug as plug

class Greeting(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):

    name = plug.cli.option(
        short_name="-n", help="your name", required=True
    )
    age = plug.cli.option(
        converter=int, help="your age", default=30
    )

    def command(self):
        print(f"Hello, my name is {self.name} and I am {self.age}")

Note that the file is called command.py. We can run this command with RepoBee like so:

$ repobee -p command.py greeting -n Alice
Hello, my name is Alice and I am 30

If your command requires the platform api, simply add an argument called api to the command function.

Command function that requires the platform API¶

def command(self, api: plug.PlatformAPI):
    pass

class repobee_plug.cli.commandmarkers.CommandExtension[source]¶: Mixin class for use with the Plugin class. Marks the extending class as a command extension, that adds options to an existing command.

io¶

IO functionality for plugins.

repobee_plug.cli.io.echo(msg)[source]¶

Echo a message to the command line.

Parameters: msg (Any) – Any kind of object that can be converted into a human-readable string with the str function.
Return type: None

repobee_plug.cli.io.progress_bar(it, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Create a progress bar for an iterable.

Danger

The API of this function is not stable and may change unexpectedly.

Parameters

it (Iterable[TypeVar(T)]) – An iterable.
args – Positional arguments passed directly to the underlying implementation (currently tqdm).
kwargs – Keyword arguments passed directly to the underlying implementation (currently tqdm).

Return type

Iterable[TypeVar(T)]

Returns

An iterable object that returns elements from it, and also updates a progress bar in the terminal.

settings¶

Settings for declarative command line extensions.

class repobee_plug.cli.settings.CommandExtensionSettings(actions, config_section_name)¶

property actions¶: Alias for field number 0

property config_section_name¶: Alias for field number 1

class repobee_plug.cli.settings.CommandSettings(action, category, help, description, base_parsers, config_section_name)¶

property action¶: Alias for field number 0

property base_parsers¶: Alias for field number 4

property category¶: Alias for field number 1

property config_section_name¶: Alias for field number 5

property description¶: Alias for field number 3

property help¶: Alias for field number 2

repobee_plug.cli.settings.command_extension_settings(actions, config_section_name=None)[source]¶

Settings for a CommandExtension.

Parameters

actions (List[Action]) – A list of actions to extend.
config_section_name (Optional[str]) – Name of the configuration section that the command extension will fetch configuration values from. Defaults to the name of the plugin in which the extension is defined.

Return type

CommandExtensionSettings

Returns

A wrapper object for settings.

repobee_plug.cli.settings.command_settings(action=None, category=None, help='', description='', base_parsers=None, config_section_name=None)[source]¶

Create a settings object for a Command.

Example usage:

ext.py¶

import repobee_plug as plug

class Ext(plug.Plugin, plug.cli.Command):
    __settings__ = plug.cli.command_settings(
        action_name="hello",
        category=plug.cli.CoreCommand.config,
    )

    def command(self):
        print("Hello, world!")

This can then be called with:

$ repobee -p ext.py config hello
Hello, world!

Parameters

action (Union[str, Action, None]) – The name of this command, or a Action object that defines both category and action for the command. Defaults to the name of the plugin class.
category (Optional[Category]) – The category to place this command in. If not specified, then the command will be top-level (i.e. uncategorized). If action is an Action (as opposed to a str), then this argument is not allowed.
help (str) – A help section for the command. This appears when listing the help section of the command’s category.
description (str) – A help section for the command. This appears when listing the help section for the command itself.
base_parsers (Optional[List[BaseParser]]) – A list of base parsers to add to the command.
config_section_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the configuration section the command should look for configurable options in. Defaults to the name of the plugin the command is defined in.

Return type

CommandSettings

Returns

A settings object used internally by RepoBee.

_corehooks¶

Important

The _corehooks module is part of the module reference only for specification purposes. Plugin developers should never try to import from this module.

Hookspecs for repobee core hooks.

Core hooks provide the basic functionality of repobee. These hooks all have default implementations, but are overridden by any other implementation. All hooks in this module should have the firstresult=True option to the hookspec to allow for this dynamic override.

repobee_plug._corehooks.api_init_requires()[source]¶

Return which of the arguments to apimeta._APISpec.__init__ that the given API requires. For example, the GitHubAPI requires all, but the GitLabAPI does not require user.

Return type: Tuple[str]
Returns: Names of the required arguments.

repobee_plug._corehooks.generate_repo_name(team_name, assignment_name)[source]¶

This hook allows for overriding the behavior of repobee_plug.name.generate_repo_name().

Danger

The implementations of this hook should never be invoked other than in repobee_plug.name.generate_repo_name().

Parameters

team_name (Union[str, StudentTeam, Team]) – Name of the associated team.
assignment_name (str) – Name of an assignment.

Return type

str

repobee_plug._corehooks.generate_review_allocations(teams, num_reviews)[source]¶

Generate ReviewAllocation tuples from the provided teams, given that this concerns reviews for a single master repo.

The provided teams of students should be treated as units. That is to say, if there are multiple members in a team, they should always be assigned to the same review team. The best way to merge two teams team_a and team_b into one review team is to simply do:

team_c = plug.StudentTeam(members=team_a.members + team_b.members)

This can be scaled to however many teams you would like to merge. As a practical example, if teams team_a and team_b are to review team_c, then the following ReviewAllocation tuple, here called allocation, should be contained in the returned list.

review_team = plug.StudentTeam(
    members=team_a.members + team_b.members
)
allocation = plug.ReviewAllocation(
    review_team=review_team,
    reviewed_team=team_c,
)

Note

Respecting the num_reviews argument is optional: only do it if it makes sense. It’s good practice to issue a warning if num_reviews is ignored, however.

Parameters

team – A list of student teams.
num_reviews (int) – Amount of reviews each student should perform (and consequently amount of reviewers per repo)

Return type

List[ReviewAllocation]

Returns

A list of review allocations tuples.

repobee_plug._corehooks.get_api_class()[source]¶

Return an API platform class. Must be a subclass of apimeta.API.

Returns: An apimeta.API subclass.

repobee_plug._corehooks.parse_students_file(students_file)[source]¶

Parse the students file and return any student teams from it.

This hook is responsible for parsing the students file. The file passed to implementations of this hook is guaranteed to be non-empty, but it is up to implementations to verify that it’s syntactically correct.

Danger

This hook is unstable and may change without notice.

Parameters: students_file (Path) – Path to a non-empty file.
Return type: Iterable[StudentTeam]
Returns: An iterable of student teams parsed from the file.

_exthooks¶

Important

The _exthooks module is part of the module reference only for specification purposes. Plugin developers should never try to import from this module.

Hookspecs for repobee extension hooks.

Extension hooks add something to the functionality of repobee, but are not necessary for its operation. Currently, all extension hooks are related to cloning repos.

repobee_plug._exthooks.clone_parser_hook(clone_parser)[source]¶

Do something with the clone repos subparser before it is used used to parse CLI options. The typical task is to add options to it.

Danger

This hook no longer has any effect, it is only kept for testing purposes.

Parameters: clone_parser (ArgumentParser) – The clone subparser.
Return type: None

repobee_plug._exthooks.config_hook(config_parser)[source]¶

Hook into the config file parsing.

Deprecated since version 3.6.0: Use handle_config() instead.

Parameters: config_parser (ConfigParser) – The config parser after config has been read.
Return type: None

repobee_plug._exthooks.get_configurable_args()[source]¶

Get the configurable arguments for a plugin.

Danger

This is not a public hook, don’t implement this manually!

Return type: ConfigurableArguments
Returns: The configurable arguments of a plugin.

repobee_plug._exthooks.handle_config(config)[source]¶

Handle the config.

This hook is allowed both to read the config, and to modify it before it’s passed to the core RepoBee application.

Warning

The Config class is currently not stable and its behavior may change.

Parameters: config (Config) – RepoBee’s config.
Return type: None

repobee_plug._exthooks.handle_parsed_args(args)[source]¶

Handle the parsed args from the parser, before any processing is applied.

Parameters: args (Namespace) – The full namespace returned by argparse.ArgumentParser.parse_args()
Return type: None

repobee_plug._exthooks.handle_processed_args(args)[source]¶

Handle the parsed command line arguments after RepoBee has applied processing.

Parameters: args (Namespace) – A processed version of the parsed CLI arguments.
Return type: None

repobee_plug._exthooks.post_clone(repo, api)[source]¶

Operate on a student repository after it has been cloned.

Parameters

repo (StudentRepo) – A local representation of a student repo. The path attribute is always set to a valid directory containing the repo.
api (PlatformAPI) – An instance of the platform API.

Return type

Optional[Result]

Returns

Optionally returns a Result for reporting the outcome of the hook. May also return None, in which case no reporting will be performed for the hook.

repobee_plug._exthooks.post_setup(repo, api, newly_created)[source]¶

Operate on a student repo after the setup command has executed.

Parameters

repo (StudentRepo) – A student repository.
api (PlatformAPI) – An instance of the platform API.
newly_created (bool) – False if the student repo already existed.

Return type

Optional[Result]

Returns

Optionally returns a Result for reporting the outcome of the hook. May also return None, in which case no reporting will be performed for the hook.

repobee_plug._exthooks.pre_setup(repo, api)[source]¶

Operate on a template repository before it is distributed to students.

Note

Changes to the template repo can be persisted by comitting them, making on-the-fly preprocessing possible. An example of this would be squashing the commits of the template repo before pushing it to students. Note that making any commit makes it impossible to later update student repos with the repos update command, as on-the-fly commits are unique by timestamp.

Parameters

repo (TemplateRepo) – Representation of a local template repo.
api (PlatformAPI) – An instance of the platform API.

Return type

Optional[Result]

Returns

Optionally returns a Result for reporting the outcome of the hook. May also return None, in which case no reporting will be performed for the hook.
