We use custom gettext classes (e.g. GettextFactory &
NGettextFactory). We should exercise those classes with an installed
binary mo file to demonstrate we are actually returning the expected
translated strings for all strings defined as being translatable.
The test logic in install/po/test_i18n.py was recently enhanced to
make this type of testing easier and more complete.
tests/test_ipalib/test_text.py should import the new i18n test support
and run it.
Previously tests/test_ipalib/test_text.py made a feeble but incomplete
attempt to do the above but even that was often not run because the
test would skip because the necessary test files were not available
unless they had been manually created in the install/po subdir. It is
now possible to correct those deficiencies in the test.
This patch does the following:
* Moves the location of i18n test code and adjust references to it.
install/po/test_i18n.py was moved to tests/i18n.py. This permits
tests/test_ipalib/test_text.py to import the i18n test utilities
in a clean fashion. The Makefile in install/po now calls this
same file.
* Modfies test function in test_i18n.py to accept function pointers
for retreiving a translation.
* Imports test_i18n.py from the install/po directory in the tree
* Creates a tmp directory for the test localedir
* Parses the current ipa.pot file in install/po and generates
a test po and mo file with special unicode markers. It installs
the test mo file in the tmp localedir. This is accomplished by
calling create_po() from the test_i18n.py file.
* If any of the above does not work it raises nose.SkipTest with
the reason, and skips the test.
* It sets up functions to get a translation and a plural translation
via our text.GettextFactory class and text.NGettextFactory class
respectively. This are the functions we use intenally to get
translations. It set the localdir and lang which are used by those
classes to match our test configuration. It then runs a validation
test on every translation and it's plural found in the test.po file
by calling po_file_iterate and passed it the function pointers to
our internal routines.
* At the conclusion of the test it cleans up after itself.
Note: extraneous files are not created in the tree, only a tmp
directory is utilized.
Validating msgid's in C code was insufficient.
* Make the discovery of format conversions much more robust by authoring
a new function parse_printf_fmt() that is able to discover each
format conversion in a string and break it into it's individual
subparts. One of those subparts is the argument selector index. In c
code we need to know if the argumenet selector index is present to
know if translator can reorder the substitution strings.
This replaces the simplistic python_anonymous_substitutions_regexp
which was insufficient to deal with other programming languages
(e.g. c).
* Add get_prog_langs() function to return the set of programming
languages a msgid appears in. This is necessar because the msdid
validation is programming language specific.

Replace all occurences of create_default with equivalent default_from
and remove create_default from the framework. This is needed for
proper parameter validation, as there is no way to tell which
parameters to validate prior to calling create_default, because
create_default does not provide information about which parameters are
used for generating the default value.
Splitting on commas is not an idempotent operation:
'a,b\,c' -> ('a', 'b,c') -> ('a', 'b', 'c')
That means we can't do it when the call is forwarded, so this is only
done on the CLI. The UI already sends values as a tuple.
Replace escaping in the csv parser with quoting. Quoted strings can have
embedded commas instead of having to escape them. This prevents the csv
parser from eating all escape characters.
Also, document Param's csv arguments, and update tests.

Having float type as a base type for floating point parameters in
ipalib introduces several issues, e.g. problem with representation
or value comparison. Python language provides a Decimal type which
help overcome these issues.
This patch replaces a float type and Float parameter with a
decimal.Decimal type in Decimal parameter. A precision attribute
was added to Decimal parameter that can be used to limit a number
of decimal places in parameter representation. This approach fixes
a problem with API.txt validation where comparison of float values
may fail on different architectures due to float representation error.
In order to safely transfer the parameter value over RPC it is
being converted to string which is then converted back to
decimal.Decimal number on a server side.

Add new class "cachedproperty" for creating property-like attributes
that cache the return value of a method call.
Also fix few issues in the unit tests to enable them to succeed.
ticket 1959
Remove "List" parameter type and replace all occurences of it with appropriate
multi-valued parameter ("Str" in most cases) with csv enabled.
Add new parameter type "Any", capable of holding values of any type. This is
needed by the "batch" command, as "Str" is not suitable type for the "methods"
parameter.
ticket 2007
This patch changes the way plugins are initialized. Instead of
finalizing all the plugins at once, plugins are finalized only after
they are accessed (currently applies to Command, Object and
Attribute subclasses, only in CLI by default).
This change provides significant performance boost, as only the
plugins that are actually used are finalized.

We have a larger goal of replacing all DN creation via string
formatting/concatenation with DN object operations because string
operations are not a safe way to form a DN nor to compare a DN. This
work needs to be broken into smaller chunks for easier review and
testing.
Addressing the unit tests first makes sense because we don't want to
be modifying both the core code and the tests used to verify the core
code simultaneously. If we modify the unittests first with existing
core code and no regressions are found then we can move on to
modifying parts of the core code with the belief the unittests can
validate the changes in the core code. Also by doing the unittests
first we also help to validate the DN objects are working correctly
(although they do have an extensive unittest).
The fundamental changes are:
* replace string substitution & concatenation with DN object
constructor
* when comparing dn's the comparision is done after promotion
to a DN object, then two DN objects are compared
* when a list of string dn's are to be compared a new list is
formed where each string dn is replaced by a DN object
* because the unittest framework accepts a complex data structure of
expected values where dn's are represeted as strings the unittest
needs to express the expected value of a dn as a callable object
(e.g. a lambda expression) which promotes the dn string to a DN
object in order to do the comparision.
The DN unittest was lacking a test for i18n. The unittest was
updated to store "Hello" in Arabic with both utf-8 and unicode
and verify the values could be properly retrieved and converted
to dn string syntax.
During the testing a few problems were discovered and corrected.
* passing in utf-8 caused an ASCII decode error becuase of Python's
silly default encoding of ASCII. The fix was to explictly use
the utf-8 codec.
* there were a couple of places where encode/decode were not
called correctly.
* the internal attr and value members of the AVA class were renamed
to explicitly show they are stored as unicode.
Of course the unittest was updated as well.
Replace deepcopy with constructor (i.e. type call)
Can now "clone" with configuration changes by passing object
of the same type to it's constructor, e.g.
dn1 = DN(('cn', 'foo'))
dn2 = DN(dn1)
dn2 = DN(dn1, first_key_match=False)
Remove pairwise grouping for RDN's. Had previously removed it
for DN's, left it in for RDN's because it seemed to make sense
because of the way RDN's work but consistency is a higher goal.
Add keyword constructor parameters to pass configuration options.
Make first_key_match a configuration keyword.
Updated documentation.
Updated unit test.
FWIW, I noticed the unittest is now running 2x faster, not sure why,
removal of deepcopy? Anyway, hard to argue with performance doubling.
The pairwise grouping used to form RDN's and AVA's proved to be
confusing in practice, this patch removes that functionality thus
requiring programmers to explicitly pair attr,value using a tuple or
list.
In addition it was discovered additional functionality was needed to
support some DN operations in freeipa. DN objects now support
startswith(), endswith() and the "in" membership test. These functions
and operators will accept either a DN or RDN.
The unittest was modified to remove the pairwise tests and add new
explicit tests. The unittest was augmented to test the new
functionality. In addition the unittest was cleaned up a bit to use
common utilty functions for improved readabilty and robustness.
The documentation was updated.
fix test_role_plugin use of DN to avoid pairwise grouping
Allow a long to get as far as the min/max constraints where we can
compare it to min/max int values and reject with a proper error message.

The hostname is passed in during the server installation. We should use
this hostname for the resulting server as well. It was being discarded
and we always used the system hostname value.
Important changes:
- configure ipa_hostname in sssd on masters
- set PKI_HOSTNAME so the hostname is passed to dogtag installer
- set the hostname when doing ldapi binds
This also reorders some things in the dogtag installer to eliminate an
unnecessary restart. We were restarting the service twice in a row with
very little time in between and this could result in a slew of reported
errors, though the server installed ok.
ticket 1052
This patch removes some individual work-arounds of converting strings
to unicode, they only masked the problem. String values are not
passed to the validator or normalizers so things like adding the
realm automatically to services weren't happening.
ticket 941
This patch contains 2 parts.
The first part is a small utility to create and validate the current
API. To do this it needs to load ipalib which on a fresh system
introduces a few problems, namely that it relies on a python plugin
to set the default encoding to utf8. For our purposes we can skip that.
It is also important that any optional plugins be loadable so the
API can be examined.
The second part is a version exchange between the client and server.
The version has a major and a minor version. The major verion is
updated whenever existing API changes. The minor version is updated when
new API is added. A request will be rejected if either the major versions
don't match or if the client major version is higher than then server
major version (though by implication new API would return a command not
found if allowed to proceed).
To determine the API version of the server from a client use the ping
command.
ticket 584
The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
When a Requirement fails we throw an exception including the name of the
field that is missing. To make the command-line friendlier we have a
cli_name defined which may or may not match the LDAP attribute. This can
be confusing if you are using ipalib directly because the attribute name
missing may not match what is actually required (desc vs description is
a good example).
If you use the context 'cli' then it will throw exceptions using cli_name.
If you use any other context it will use the name of the attribute.
ticket 187
This adds a new global option to the ipa command, -f/--no-fallback. If this
is included then just the server configured in /etc/ipa/default.conf is used.
Otherwise that is tried first then all servers in DNS with the ldap SRV record
are tried.
Create a new Local() Command class for local-only commands. The help
command is one of these. It shouldn't need a remote connection to execute.
ticket #15
It would work if you ran the test from its location in tests/test_ipalib
but this isn't the most common method. If you want to run it individually
you can do:
$ ./make-test tests/test_ipalib/test_text.py
This patch:
- bumps up the minimum version of python-nss
- will initialize NSS with nodb if a CSR is loaded and it isn't already
init'd
- will shutdown NSS if initialized in the RPC subsystem so we use right db
- updated and added a few more tests
Relying more on NSS introduces a bit of a problem. For NSS to work you
need to have initialized a database (either a real one or no_db). But once
you've initialized one and want to use another you have to close down the
first one. I've added some code to nsslib.py to do just that. This could
potentially have some bad side-effects at some point, it works ok now.
A number of doc strings were not localized, wrap them in _().
Some messages were not localized, wrap them in _()
Fix a couple of failing tests:
The method name in RPC should not be unicode.
The doc attribute must use the .msg attribute for comparison.
Also clean up imports of _() The import should come from
ipalib or ipalib.text, not ugettext from request.
Before the patch that allows to create unshared instances of Connectible
objects, all Connection object were deleted at once in destroy_context().
It made sense at the time, because there was always at most one Connection
per Connectible subclass and Connectible.disconnect() was called only
internally by the Executioner class. Now that we can make arbitrary
connections, it makes more sense to delete the Connection object when
Connectible.disconnect() is called.
