Dev Setup

Requires poetry for dependency management and packaging. Run poetry --version to verify it is installed. A minimum of Poetry 1.2 is required.

Our development workflow leverages a Makefile to define "targets" for most of the routine development tasks for this project, like running tests or producing a build. These targets can be run with the venerable build tool GNU Make or one of its variants, like remake.

While the make command is possibly already installed on your computer, we recommend remake which extends GNU Make to add profiling, debugging, improved error messages, and usage help text for targets. remake --tasks will output a list of the commonly-used make targets. remake may be substituted for make in any of the commands below.

Package setup and build

make install
make build

Examples

Check out the Example Application overview.

Note: Changes to python files in src/hyperdx/opentelemetry should propagate to the example applications upon save. Changes in the hyperdx.opentelemetry's pyproject.toml may need a poetry build to take effect in the example applications.

Running with Docker-Compose

In the smoke-tests directory there exists a docker-compose.yml to run in Docker.

Because each example uses the same port, either comment out the other apps in the docker-compose file, or specify the app to run:

cd smoke-tests && docker-compose up --build app-sdk-grpc

Testing

Unit Tests

make test

Smoke Tests

Install bats-core and jq for local testing:

brew install bats-core
brew install jq

make smoke-sdk
# or specify a single protocol like with http or grpc:
make smoke-sdk-grpc

# To tidy up after a test run, use:
make unsmoke

Linting & Code Style

make lint
make style

Troubleshooting

Sometimes cache can cause unexpected behavior.

Clear pycache and dist

Use make clean to clear out all dist directories and caches in __pycache__

Clear poetry cache

To see where the poetry virtual environment exists, use poetry env info or poetry env list --full-path as referenced in Poetry docs.

For example, here's an interaction that removes a poetry virtual environment that exists for the main project on a user's macbook:

# list path to virtual environment
➜ poetry env list --full-path
/Users/alice/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/hyperdx-opentelemetry-p9yAYVmc-py3.10 (Activated)
# remove virtual environment
➜ poetry env remove python3.10
Deleted virtualenv: /Users/alice/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/hyperdx-opentelemetry-p9yAYVmc-py3.10

Then go through the steps again to install and build, and there will be a new virtual environment.
