Created a new script for generating scaffolding for new extensions.

Created a new script for generating scaffolding for new extensions.
I added some unit tests for naming convention testing and conversion, but otherwise all testing has been manual on Linux 3.1.8-1.
I have tried creating new extensions with each option, and installing the egg using easy_install name develop on a local environment.

Description From Last Updated

The convention is to have imports in alphabetical order.

ME medanat

this could be: return response[0].lower() == 'y'

ME medanat

This could be: return bool(re.match(self.REGEX, string))

ME medanat

You can use the bool() function here again.

ME medanat

This could be: return re.match(r'^[a-z]', string) != None

ME medanat

This may not be very readable. Consider breaking it into multiple lines.

ME medanat

This could be: if string: Since None and the empty string have the same boolean value of False in Python.

ME medanat

This could be: (I'm not 100% sure on this one) if not options.description:

ME medanat

Leave a space between imports and code body.

ME medanat

Again, if dashboard_link Also, why are you prefixing the tags with hyphens?

ME medanat

Again, if dashboard_link

ME medanat

This would be: URLHook(extension, pattern)

ME medanat

Same init issue: Class(arg1, ...)

ME medanat

init issue again.

ME medanat

I'm not sure what's going on here with the template tags: {{'{%'}} Is there a reason you're doing it this …

ME medanat

Place this in a trans block.

ME medanat

Place "To do..." in trans block.

ME medanat

These could be on the same line. Also, it seems that there's an extra single space before "To do..." "To …

ME medanat

Not sure if this applies in template pages, but this could be: {% if dashboard_link %}

ME medanat

Consider adding the an all caps case?

ME medanat

Isn't the comma at the end of this string a syntax error?

ME medanat

We'll want some documentation for this function, and the various classes / functions below.

mike_conleymike_conley

I wonder if it'd be clearer if the flow for the unrecognized input case was as follows: 1) Ask the …

mike_conleymike_conley

Possibly place this variable within __init__

ME medanat

Same thing, place within __init__

ME medanat

Same thing, place within __init__

ME medanat

--dashboard-link is optional - we should mention that in its help information.

mike_conleymike_conley

Newlines above and below this for block.

mike_conleymike_conley

This template is missing from your patch.

mike_conleymike_conley

Nitpicking here: {%- if dashboard_link is not none%} Add a single space after none

ME medanat

All this could be wrapped within the same: {%- if dashboard_link is not none %} {%- endif %}

ME medanat

Wrap within same if statement.

ME medanat

jinja2 is a third-party module, and belongs in a group after the built-in Python modules.

No need for the parens around question.

chipx86chipx86

No need for the len() check, I don't think.

Classes should always at least inherit from 'object'): class NamingConvention(object):

chipx86chipx86

Should use re.compile().

chipx86chipx86

The regex should be pulled out into a compiled regex in the class.

chipx86chipx86

This can be one statement.

chipx86chipx86

Make this part of the class, and compile it.

chipx86chipx86

One statement.

chipx86chipx86

This can be simplified to: if string: string = ... elif case.formatted(string): return

Blank line between these.

chipx86chipx86

Blank line between these. Basically: Blank line before/after a block of code.

Inherit from object.

chipx86chipx86

Should use the os.path stuff to parse the path.

chipx86chipx86

Use os.path.join instead.

chipx86chipx86

No need for parens when it's just one thing in the format arguments.

chipx86chipx86

chipx86chipx86

Use 'f', not 'FILE'. No uppercase unless it's a constant.

chipx86chipx86

chipx86chipx86

__init__ should take *args, **kwargs, and the super() should pass it. That allows us to expand down the road without …

chipx86chipx86

The URLs should be indented only 4 spaces, and use the url() stuff. Also, two blank lines above this.

If we're not providing any sort of default arguments, no need for the {} param to RequestContext.

  1. Well done, that's a large chunk of code. Good hustle!
    
    I pointed out a number of issues (mostly style), be sure to verify each one and double check the correctness of the code afterwards. 
    
    I would also suggest running a PEP8 guide checker on your code:
    
    PEP8: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
    PEP8 guide checker: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8

    Isn't the comma at the end of this string a syntax error? 
    1. I saw this multiple times across your code. It is not a syntax error, but the last comma in dict/list data types is not required. I would suggest removing it.
    2. I'm actually fine with the trailing comma - and I've seen multiple places throughout the Review Board codebase where we use it.
      
      I think the idea is:  this is a list of items, and sometime down the line, we might add something to this list.  The most likely point of error injection is the fact that we'll forget the comma on the preceding line.  So this pre-empts it a little bit.
      
      Note that I don't believe we can do this in Javascript.  IE fails out when it finds a trailing comma with nothing after it.

  2. rbtools/rb_extgen.py (Diff revision 2)
     
     
    PEP 8 seems to recommend that we explicitly check to see if it "is None".
  3. It might be a bit unclear (should I add a '.template' suffix to these files?), but this uses Jinja. The dashes suppress whitespace.
  4. It seems the suggested idiom for calling a superconstructor is to use something like super(ExtensionURLHook, self).__init__(arg1) (it's also used a few times in the reviewboard code)
  5. Yes. This is because otherwise Jinja will interpret it as Jinja templating rather than raw text: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#escaping
  6. The indentation for plain text in the HTML templates seems to be either one space or 2 spaces.
  7. setup.py (Diff revision 2)
     
     
    The line above it already ended with a comma. It always looked like an error to me but I can see the sense in keeping it as it allows you to easily add and remove individual lines anywhere in the list without worrying about commas.

    I wonder if it'd be clearer if the flow for the unrecognized input case was as follows:
    
    1) Ask the user the question
    2) User answers with something invalid
    3) Tell the user that their input was unrecognized
    4) Go to (1)
    
    This way, it's clearer what question the user is being asked to answer.

  1. This doesn't belong in RBTools. RBTools is meant to be used to talk to a Review Board server, but not for developing. This might be better suited as something in reviewboard/contrib/. We could probably build a package out of it later, or move it out to its own module.
    1. Should I open up a new review request, or am I able to submit a revision that spans multiple repositories?
