Installation¶
Pre-requisite¶
- working Couchbase server / cluster
- working Sync-Gateway server
Requirements¶
couchbase==2.0.2
django-extensions==1.5.5
django-tastypie==0.12.2
requests==2.7.0
shortuuid==0.4.2
couchbase
package installation can be tricky. A recipe for Ubuntu 12:
sudo wget -O/etc/apt/sources.list.d/couchbase.list http://packages.couchbase.com/ubuntu/couchbase-ubuntu1204.list
wget -O- http://packages.couchbase.com/ubuntu/couchbase.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcouchbase-dev libcouchbase2-libevent
Quick Install¶
Install package:
pip install django-cbtools
The following configuration settings are used for the package (you can use the set below for the fast installation):
COUCHBASE_BUCKET = 'default'
COUCHBASE_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1']
COUCHBASE_PASSWORD = None
COUCHBASE_DESIGN = 'default'
SYNC_GATEWAY_BUCKET = 'default'
SYNC_GATEWAY_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:4984'
SYNC_GATEWAY_ADMIN_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:4985'
SYNC_GATEWAY_USER = "demo_admin"
SYNC_GATEWAY_PASSWORD = "demo_admin_password"
SYNC_GATEWAY_GUEST_USER = "demo_guest"
SYNC_GATEWAY_GUEST_PASSWORD = "demo_guest_password"
For more detals for settings see Django-Cbtools Settings.
Add django_cbtools
to INSTALLED_APPS
:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ...
'django_cbtools',
)
Create folder couchbase_views
in the project root.
Testing¶
You should create a testing couchbase bucket to run the package tests
(and further your apps tests). For example default_test
.
The testing bucket must contain test
in the name. Otherwise some
helper functions will raise exception.
Certianly SyncGateway configuration must also have to be configurated properly to take in account additional bucket, for example:
{
"adminInterface":"0.0.0.0:4985",
"databases": {
"default": {
"server": "http://127.0.0.1:8091",
"bucket": "default"
},
"default_test": {
"server": "http://127.0.0.1:8091",
"bucket": "default_test"
}
}
}
Also you need an alternative settings.py
to run tests. Probably you already have
similar file to run your own tests. If you don’t it’s time to create it now.
The following settings should be changed in order to run Couchbase-related tests properly:
COUCHBASE_BUCKET
is targetted to test bucketSYNC_GATEWAY_BUCKET
is targetted to test bucketCOUCHBASE_STALE
is set to disable Couchbase caching
Like that, in file settings_test.py
:
# ...
COUCHBASE_BUCKET = 'default_test'
COUCHBASE_STALE = False
SYNC_GATEWAY_BUCKET = 'default_test'
# ...
You will have to have at least one view-file in couchbase_views
folder, by_channel.js
:
function (doc, meta) {
if (doc.st_deleted) {
return;
}
for (channel in doc.channels) {
emit([doc.channels[channel], doc.doc_type], null)
}
}
Now run tests as usual for django:
python manage.py test --settings=<your-project>.settings_test django_cbtools
