Development Quickstart
----------------------
This quickstart guide gets your environment set up with searx. Furthermore, it gives a
short introduction to the new manage.sh script.
How to setup your development environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, clone the source code of searx to the desired folder. In this case the source
is cloned to ~/myprojects/searx. Then create and activate the searx-ve
virtualenv and install the required packages using manage.sh.
.. code:: sh
cd ~/myprojects
git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
cd searx
virtualenv searx-ve
. ./searx-ve/bin/activate
./manage.sh update_dev_packages
How to run tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tests can be run using the manage.sh script.
Following tests and checks are available:
- Unit tests
- Selenium tests
- PEP8 validation
- Unit test coverage check
For example unit tests are run with the command below:
.. code:: sh
./manage.sh unit_tests
For further test options, please consult the help of the manage.sh script.
How to compile styles and javascript
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to build styles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Less is required to build the styles of searx. Less can be installed using either NodeJS or Apt.
.. code:: sh
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm install -g less
OR
.. code:: sh
sudo apt-get install node-less
After satisfying the requirements styles can be build using manage.sh
.. code:: sh
./manage.sh styles
How to build the source of the oscar theme
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Grunt must be installed in order to build the javascript sources. It depends on NodeJS, so first
Node has to be installed.
.. code:: sh
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
After installing grunt, the files can be built using the following command:
.. code:: sh
./manage.sh grunt_build

Tips for debugging/development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Turn on debug logging
Whether you are working on a new engine or trying to eliminate a bug, it is always a good idea
to turn on debug logging. When debug logging is enabled a stack trace appears,
instead of the cryptic ``Internal Server Error`` message. It can be turned on by setting
``debug: False`` to ``debug: True`` in settings.yml.
2. Run ``./manage.sh tests`` before creating a PR.
Failing build on Travis is common because of PEP8 checks. So a new commit must be created
containing these format fixes. This phase can be skipped if ``./manage.sh tests`` is run
locally before creating a PR.
