test-pull-request is a python program written to help test pull requests on github. The way it works is:
- The program polls github repositories every 15 minutes for open pull requests. If the pull request is new, or the HEAD sha of the pull request is different, a job is pushed into the "build_queue".
- A user written program needs to have a blocking pop operation on the "build_queue". When a job comes in, run the tests and push the result into the "comment_queue".
- Whenever a comment is in the "comment_queue", the program posts the comment to the github pull request.
Install virtualenv

Download it from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
Set up virtual env
virtualenv .Install fabric
./bin/pip install fabricCheck whether paramiko is broken:
Try running:
./bin/fab -H localhost testIf you see this error "NameError: global name 'host' is not defined" then go to 4.2.
Patch paramiko: (See bug paramiko/paramiko#179)
sed -i "59 s/host/socket.gethostname().split('.')[0]/" local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/config.py
Have a look at what tasks are available:
./bin/fab -l
Start the master (which gets the list of open pull requests from repo)
./bin/fab -H localhost start_master:redis_server=localhost,repo=karenc/cnx-archiveStart the build worker (which set up the environment and runs the tests)
./bin/python run_tests.py archive localhost -n raring-clean-clone -i 192.168.122.101(inside karenc/connexions-setup)Start the comment worker (which posts comments to the pull requests)
./bin/fab -H localhost start_comment_worker:redis_server=localhost
