Local development of Pioreactor

Local development

To install the Pioreactor codebase locally, it should be enough to clone the repo pioreactor/pioreactor and run:

pip3 install -e .
pip3 install -r requirements/requirements_dev.txt

MQTT

You will need to set up MQTT locally. On OSX, homebrew can be used to install the MQTT broker mosquitto. Also enable logging in /usr/local/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf by adding a line like:

log_dest file path/to/somewhere/.mosquitto/log

The CLI tools mosquitto_pub and mosquitto_sub should work as well.

Testing

py.test pioreactor/tests

Running jobs locally

TESTING=1 pio run <job name>

You can also modify to hostname and experiment with

TESTING=1 \
HOSTNAME=<whatever> \
EXPERIMENT=<up to you> \
pio run <job name>

Raspberry Pi Images

Raspberry Pi images are built in the Pioreactor/CustoPizer repo, though these aren't needed for development.
