Improve options and compatibility when initializing Review Board.
Review Request #10536 — Created April 17, 2019 and submitted
This change aims to improve the initialization of Review Board (through
theinitialize()
method), to give callers more control over that
process, and to reduce the work needed by callers.
initialize()
now has a few new arguments for controlling the
initialization process. Extensions can now be turned off for callers
that don't need them, as can some custom template support ({% url %}
tag on Django 1.6 and some template serial generation for caching).
Logging can also be turned off, in case the caller has set things up
already.Callers no longer need to set the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
environment
variable first. If not already set,initialize()
will set this to
reviewboard.settings
automatically.We also already had some code that attempted to initialize Django (using
django.setup()
), but it was doing this a bit later than we wanted. We
now try to do this earlier, before we import anything from Django. We
also only do it now if we've detected that Django isn't yet set up.
rbssh
has been updated to take advantage of these changes as well,
removing all extension loading, template serial generation, and unwanted
logging setup (which is being overridden anyway) to minimize startup
time.
Unit tests pass on Python 2.7/Django 1.6 and Python 3.7/Django 1.11.
Manually tested rbssh with and without debug logging.
