Bases: Generic[TSCMClient], Patcher

A Patcher provided by a SCMClient.

SCMClients that define custom patchers can subclass this to implement a new patcher. It takes care of storing initial state for the patcher based on the SCMClient, providing access to the parent SCMClient instance, and generating commits from patches.

New in version 5.1.

__init__(*, scmclient: TSCMClient, **kwargs: Unpack[PatcherKwargs]) → None[source]¶

Initialize the patcher.

Parameters:

scmclient (BaseSCMClient) – The SCMClient object.

scmclient: TSCMClient¶

The SCMClient that owns the patcher.

create_commit(*, patch_result: PatchResult, run_commit_editor: bool) → None[source]¶

Internal method to create a commit based on a patch result.

This will invoke the SCMClient’s logic for committing files from a patch.

Parameters:

New in version 5.0.1.

Type:

str

requires_diff_tool: Union[bool, List[str]] = False¶

Whether this tool requires a command line diff tool.

alias of SCMClientPatcher

__init__(config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, options: Optional[Namespace] = None) → None[source]¶

Initialize the client.

Parameters:

• config (dict, optional) – The loaded user config.

• options (argparse.Namespace, optional) – The parsed command line arguments.

config: RBToolsConfig¶

User configuration.

Any user configuration loaded via .reviewboardrc files. This may be empty.

Type:

rbtools.config.config.RBToolsConfig

options: Optional[argparse.Namespace]¶

Command line arguments passed to this client.

This may be empty, and makes assumptions about which command line arguments are registered with a command. It’s intended for use within RBTools.

This may be None.

Type:

argparse.Namespace

capabilities: Optional[Capabilities]¶

Capabilities returned by the server.

This will be None if not set by the server.

Type:

rbtools.api.capabilities.Capabilities

is_setup: bool¶

Whether the client is set up and ready for operations.

Operations may fail or crash if this is False.

Callers must call setup() or has_dependencies() before performing operations using this client.

New in version 4.0.

Type:

bool

setup() → None[source]¶

Set up the client.

This will perform checks to ensure the client can be used. Callers should make sure to either call this method or has_dependencies() before performing any other operations on this client.

If checks succeed, is_setup will be True, and operations using this client can be performed.

If checks fail, an exception may be raised, and is_setup will be False.

Note that this will not check requires_diff_tool, as that is only required for certain operations. Checking for a compatible diff tool is the responsibility of the caller whenever working with diffs.

New in version 4.0.

Raises:

rbtools.clients.errors.SCMClientDependencyError – One or more required dependencies are missing.

has_dependencies(expect_checked: bool = False) → bool[source]¶

Return whether all dependencies for the client are available.

Either this or setup() must be called before any operations are performed with this client.

New in version 4.0.

Parameters:

expect_checked (bool, optional) –

Whether the caller expects that dependency checking has already been done.

If True, and dependencies have not yet been checked via check_dependencies(), this will raise a deprecation warning.

Starting in RBTools 4.0, this will raise an exception if check_dependencies() hasn’t yet been called.

Returns:

True if dependencies are all available. False if one or more are not.

Return type:

bool

check_dependencies() → None[source]¶

Check whether the base dependencies needed are available.

This is responsible for checking for any command line tools or Python modules required to consider this client as an option when scanning repositories or selecting a specific client.

This should not check for diff implementations or anything specific about a local filesystem. It’s merely a first-pass dependency check.

This function is normally called via setup() (which will re-raise any exceptions here) or has_dependencies(). It doesn’t need to be called manually unless attempting to re-generate the exception.

Subclasses can log any failed checks in the debug log, to help with debugging missing tools. If checking against multiple possible names, they may also record information needed to locate the matching executable for future operations.

It’s recommended to use rbtools.utils.checks.check_install() to help with executable dependency checks.

New in version 4.0.

Raises:

rbtools.clients.errors.SCMClientDependencyError – One or more required dependencies are missing.

is_remote_only() → bool[source]¶

Return whether this repository is operating in remote-only mode.

For some SCMs and some operations, it may be possible to operate exclusively with a remote server and have no working directory.

New in version 3.0.

Returns:

Whether this repository is operating in remote-only mode.

Return type:

bool

get_local_path() → Optional[str][source]¶

Returns:

The filesystem path of the repository on the client system.

Return type:

str

get_repository_info() → Optional[RepositoryInfo][source]¶

Return repository information for the current working tree.

This is expected to be overridden by subclasses.

New in version 3.0.

Returns:

The repository info structure.

Return type:

rbtools.clients.base.repository.RepositoryInfo

get_diff_tool() → Optional[BaseDiffTool][source]¶

Return a diff tool for use with this client.

This can be used by subclasses, and by callers that want to check if a compatible diff tool is available before calling diff().

The value is cached for the client.

New in version 4.0.

Returns:

The diff instance, if a compatible instance is found.

This will be None if requires_diff_tool is False.

Return type:

rbtools.diffs.tools.base.BaseDiffTool

Raises:

• TypeError – requires_diff_tool was an unsupported type.

• rbtools.diffs.tools.errors.MissingDiffToolError – No compatible diff tool could be found.

get_server_tool_names(capabilities: Optional[Capabilities]) → Optional[str][source]¶

Return the list of supported tool names on the server.

New in version 5.0.1.

Parameters:

capabilities (rbtools.api.capabilities.Capabilities) – The server capabilities, if present.

find_matching_server_repository(repositories: ListResource) → Tuple[Optional[ItemResource], Optional[ItemResource]][source]¶

Find a match for the repository on the server.

New in version 3.0.

Parameters:

repositories (rbtools.api.resource.ListResource) – The fetched repositories.

Returns:

A 2-tuple of matching repository information:

Tuple:

• 0 (rbtools.api.resource.ItemResource) – The matching repository resource, if found.

  If not found, this will be None.

• 1 (rbtools.api.resource.ItemResource) – The matching repository information resource, if found.

  If not found, this will be None.

Return type:

tuple

get_repository_name() → Optional[str][source]¶

Return any repository name configured in the repository.

This is used as a fallback from the standard config options, for repository types that support configuring the name in repository metadata.

New in version 3.0.

Returns:

The configured repository name, or None.

Return type:

str

check_options() → None[source]¶

Verify the command line options.

This is expected to be overridden by subclasses, if they need to do specific validation of the command line.

Raises:

rbtools.clients.errors.OptionsCheckError – The supplied command line options were incorrect. In particular, if a file has history scheduled with the commit, the user needs to explicitly choose what behavior they want.

get_changenum(revisions: SCMClientRevisionSpec) → Optional[str][source]¶

Return the change number for the given revisions.

This is only used when the client is supposed to send a change number to the server (such as with Perforce).

Parameters:

revisions (dict) – A revisions dictionary as returned by parse_revision_spec().

Returns:

The change number to send to the Review Board server.

Return type:

str

scan_for_server(repository_info: RepositoryInfo) → Optional[str][source]¶

Find the server path.

This will search for the server name in the .reviewboardrc config files. These are loaded with the current directory first, and searching through each parent directory, and finally $HOME/.reviewboardrc last.

Parameters:

repository_info (rbtools.clients.base.repository.RepositoryInfo) – The repository information structure.

Returns:

The Review Board server URL, if available.

Return type:

str

parse_revision_spec(revisions: List[str] = []) → SCMClientRevisionSpec[source]¶

Parse the given revision spec.

The ‘revisions’ argument is a list of revisions as specified by the user. Items in the list do not necessarily represent a single revision, since the user can use SCM-native syntaxes such as “r1..r2” or “r1:r2”. SCMTool-specific overrides of this method are expected to deal with such syntaxes.

Parameters:

revisions (list of str, optional) – A list of revisions as specified by the user. Items in the list do not necessarily represent a single revision, since the user can use SCM-native syntaxes such as r1..r2 or r1:r2. SCMTool-specific overrides of this method are expected to deal with such syntaxes.

Returns:

A dictionary containing keys found in SCMClientRevisionSpec.

Additional keys may be included by subclasses for their own internal use.

These will be used to generate the diffs to upload to Review Board (or print). The diff for review will include the changes in (base, tip], and the parent diff (if necessary) will include (parent, base].

If a single revision is passed in, this will return the parent of that revision for “base” and the passed-in revision for “tip”.

If zero revisions are passed in, this will return revisions relevant for the “current change”. The exact definition of what “current” means is specific to each SCMTool backend, and documented in the implementation classes.

Return type:

dict

Raises:

• rbtools.clients.errors.InvalidRevisionSpecError – The given revisions could not be parsed.

• rbtools.clients.errors.TooManyRevisionsError – The specified revisions list contained too many revisions.

get_tree_matches_review_request(review_request: ReviewRequestResource, *, revisions: SCMClientRevisionSpec, **kwargs) → Optional[bool][source]¶

Return whether a review request matches revisions or tree state.

This works along with review request matching in tools like rbt post to match state in a review request (such as in extra_data) with the state in the local tree (such as the local branch or SCM-specific identifiers other than a commit ID).

Subclasses can override this to implement their own matching logic. By default, no additional logic is implemented.

New in version 3.1.

Parameters:

• review_request (rbtools.api.resource.ReviewRequestResource) – The review request being matched.

• revisions (dict) – A dictionary of revisions, as returned by parse_revision_spec().

• **kwargs (dict, unused) – Additional keyword arguments, for future expansion.

Returns:

True if the review request is considered an exact match.

False if the review request should be explicitly discarded as a possible match.

None if a match could not be determined based on available information.

Return type:

bool

diff(revisions: SCMClientRevisionSpec, *, include_files: List[str] = [], exclude_patterns: List[str] = [], no_renames: bool = False, repository_info: Optional[RepositoryInfo] = None, extra_args: List[str] = [], with_parent_diff: bool = True) → SCMClientDiffResult[source]¶

Perform a diff using the given revisions.

Callers should make sure that the appropriate diff tool is installed by calling rbtools.diffs.tools.registry.get_diff_tool() and passing requires_diff_tool if it’s a list.

This is expected to be overridden by subclasses, which should:

1. Set requires_diff_tool based on the client’s needs.

2. Optionally use options for any client-specific diff functionality.

3. Call get_diff_tool() early, if needed.

Subclasses that need to support special arguments should use options.

Changed in version 4.0:

• All arguments except revisions must be specified as keyword arguments.

• Subclasses should now use requires_diff_tool and get_diff_tool() instead of manually invoking diff tools.

Parameters:

• revisions (dict) – A dictionary of revisions, as returned by parse_revision_spec().

• include_files (list of str, optional) – A list of files to whitelist during the diff generation.

• exclude_patterns (list of str, optional) – A list of shell-style glob patterns to blacklist during diff generation.

• no_renames (bool, optional) – Whether to avoid rename detection.

• repository_info (rbtools.clients.base.repository.RepositoryInfo, optional) – The repository info structure.

• extra_args (list, unused) – Additional arguments to be passed to the diff generation.

• with_parent_diff (bool, optional) – Whether or not to compute a parent diff.

Returns:

A dictionary containing keys documented in SCMClientDiffResult.

Return type:

dict

get_commit_history(revisions: SCMClientRevisionSpec) → Optional[List[SCMClientCommitHistoryItem]][source]¶
