Homework 8

Due by noon on Thursday, Mar 20th.

0. Merge hw7 into your master. Please don’t delete the ‘hw7’ branch.

   Hand in this homework on branch ‘hw8’ on your github account, and set up a pull request between hw8 and your master branch. Don’t merge it, just set up the PR.

1. Implement command line options in server.py to run the following WSGI apps:

   imageapp

   quixote.demo.altdemo

   your app from hw6.

   Specifically, ‘server.py -A image -p 8000’ should run imageapp on port 8000. ‘-A altdemo’ and ‘-A myapp’ should do the obvious. If ‘-p’ is not specified then the port should be chosen randomly.

   Use argparse to accomplish this.

2. Run the twill tests for the image and altdemo apps. The ‘imageapp’ and ‘altdemo’ tests (below) should run without modification.

   (Twill provides automated testing for Web apps; it’s basically a command-line browser.)

   You can get the twill tests here:

   https://github.com/ctb/cse491-serverz/tree/hw8-twill-tests

   To run the twill tests for the imageapp, change into the directory containing your server.py, and run:

   twill-sh -u http://localhost:8000/ twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill
   

   (You will need to have server.py running in another terminal window already.)

   You should see output like this:

   >> EXECUTING FILE twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill
   ==> at http://localhost:8000
   AT LINE: twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill:0
   ==> at http://localhost:8000/upload
   AT LINE: twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill:1
   
   Added file "imageapp/dice.png" to file upload field "file"

   AT LINE: twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill:6
   AT LINE: twill-tests/imageapp-1.twill:7

   1 of 1 files SUCCEEDED.
   

   The ‘run-qx’ and ‘run-imageapp’ scripts should already work; your challenge is to make sure that your server.py implementation (which should use YOUR WSGI server) works.

   Twill documentation is here. To install it in your virtualenv, do ‘pip install -U twill’; see Using virtualenv for full instructions.

3. Write a twill test for your app that executes all of the URLs and checks the return code (200); put the test in twill-tests/ and name it myapp-1.twill.

4. Pick 5 points worth of projects from Projects and implement.

   Make sure to explain what you did in the ChangeLog, in detail.

   As per the syllabus, you are allowed to work collaboratively but everything you hand in must have your own name on the commits. The only exception to this is if you are working with someone else’s hw8 project, but the sum of the project points must be N*5 (if you work in a group with N=2 people, each person must implement 5 pts worth of projects). Note that you are also responsible for making sure the other persons’ code doesn’t break your code.

---

After handing things in:

Do a clean checkout of your repo and make sure that all the tests pass and that all your functionality works on the clean checkout, on arctic.

Using ChangeLog, please explain your project choice and implementation in sufficient detail to let someone else (me) who is _not_ psychic understand what you’ve done and run it. Test your code and any instructions using a clean checkout. I mean it.
