[rset] fix infinite recursion introduced in c1eb5a676c80 The mechanism to avoid loops in c1eb5a676c80 "[rset] Always complete attribute/relation caches in ResultSet.get_entity" breaks down: we would loop forever if two entities that were already in the cache were linked by a relation with ? or 1 cardinality in both directions. To avoid that, keep a set of already-considered columns. Related to #9942503.

pep8 unittest_application and unittest_formfields

[rset] Always complete attribute/relation caches in ResultSet.get_entity RQL queries are often designed to fill up the ORM's caches when fetching entities out of the result set. Until now, if an entry already existed in the entity cache, ResultSet.get_entity would return it unchanged, not using the new ResultSet's contents to update the attribute cache, breaking expectations (if the attributes are needed, they'd then be fetched later one at a time, one entity at a time), resulting in loads of DB accesses. So we change ResultSet.get_entity so that: * if the entity is already cached and has been instantiated from the same rset, it is returned as-is (to avoid loops) * if the entity is not yet cached, it is instantiated * if the entity is cached via another rset, its attribute/relation caches are completed Closes #9942503

[rset] refactoring of _build_entity method define a method for entity instantiation and storage in cache (related to #9942503)

[entity] comparing two entities returns NotImplemented Fixes a test when using some versions of unittest2, where assertItemsEqual tries a sort and expects TypeError, which it doesn't get if we directly raise NotImplementedError.

[skeleton] do not import the __pkginfo__.py module to make cubes installable via setuptools When using a simple "import" statement, running 'python setup.py install' for a cube fails in a fresh virtualenv due to the fact the install of the dependencies (here cubicweb iteself) is done by the python process doing the cube's installation, so the __pkginfo__ module from the cube is already loaded (thus used) when installing cubicweb... So we apply the third technique from: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/single_source_version.html

[datafeed] do NOT call commit in DataFeedXMLParser.process() (closes #10928592) and so, remove more useless code. Doing a commit in DataFeedXMLParser.process() is a bad idea because this method is called for every imported/updated entity, before handling deletions. So if we commit here, odds are quite high that we're violating some integrity constraint and end up with a ValidationError.

[schema] restore constraint checking when running on old sqlite Old sqlite3 doesn't provide CHECK constraint names in error messages, preventing us from translating a backend integrity error into a ValidationError. This was added in 2012, but the sqlite3 version in RHEL6 is older; so if we run on old sqlite, keep checking the constraints in python rather than only in SQL. Closes #10927494

[web/autoform] fix regression introduced by #5758ba784ebd The changes from cset 5758ba784ebd "[autoform] when building inlined-form view for a relation, consider related entities intead of other views" lead to an unexpected 'add new' link on creation of an entity with inlined form for a relation of cardinality 1. To avoid this, we should consider formviews and not existing relations when the entity is being created. Closes #10860258

[tox] Generate test environments for Python 2.7 and 3.4 Test commands for each environment are written down explicitly since I could not find a way to extract the "package" name (e.g. "hooks") from the environment name (e.g. "py34-hooks"). For Python 3.4 interpreter, only environments (subpackages) that do not depend on cubes for their tests are listed since those test dependency cubes are not yet installable with Python 3.x. etwist is also not included since the Python 3 port is not complete at the moment. From local testing, py34 tests pass for the following subpackages: - dataimport - entities - ext - hooks - wsgi

So to be compatible with both centos7 and others we simply ignore these directories.

[devtools] fix config.repository signature Its argument is called 'vreg', not 'x'. Closes #10515113.

[predicates] fix paginated_rset when the class has no page_size_property Fixes test failure introduced by 70733b2dfd2a, which assumed paginated_rset would only be called on a class with a page_size_property attribute.

[repository] drop usage of no more necessary eschema_eid function since the previous cset, we are guaranteed that repository's entity schema will have their eid attribute properly set, so we don't have anymore to check everytime if some entity schema's .eid attributes is set or not (and retrieve it if not). Related to #10450092

[repository] set .eid on eschema when schema is loaded from the filesystem enforcing the contract that a repository's schema should have .eid attribute of entity schema set to the eid of the entity used to serialize them in the db. Before this cset, this was not true during tests or for some c-c commands where 'quick_start' is set (eg db-restore, i18ncube...). The change in server __init__ makes this assumption true during instance creation: the serializing code was actually setting eid on schema object, but a reference to a previously built schema was given instead of the one for the latest created repository. Closes #10450092

[dataimport] simplify SQLGenSourceWrapper.add_info At this point 'CWSource' is a thing (we're not in the middle of a migration), and source.eid won't be None (we read it from the db)

[web/component] guard against invalid page_size form parameter Same as dff28956f37e, except the almost same code exists in two places (yay us).

[predicates] fix paginated_rset for components that change page_size_property The predicate and component had better agree on the page size.

[devtools] fix get_bounds Say an attribute has two IntervalBoundConstraints, one with minvalue=0 and the other with maxvalue=10 (not literally, or that could be a single constraint, but e.g. with references to other attributes). We don't want to override the minvalue of the former with None just because the latter happens last in the constraints list. This doesn't fix the case where two constraints both have a min or a max value. Meh.

[devtools] "fix" boundary condition for autofill maxvalue in an IntervalBoundConstraint is inclusive. If the min and max values happened to coincide, we would call random.choice on an empty list, which it didn't like. This is still broken in the case of BoundaryConstraint('>', minvalue), as we assume the minvalue is in the range, but that's something for another time.

[test] Use stdlib doctest module instead of logilab-common class The former just works fine now but the later does not play well with py.test.

[test] Re-implement generative tests with subtests

[devtools] Re-implement generative tests using subtests Generative tests as implemented in logilab.common.testib are not compatible with tests runner other than lgc.pytest and this implementation differs from the standard library, which has support for subtests_ since Python 3.4. Use unittest2 to bridge the gap. Maybe it'd be good to implement this on logilab.common.testlib side at some point. Let's see how this gets received here first. .. _subtests: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#subtests

Handle virtualenv development mode Looking for VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable as a sign of virtualenv activation. This at least works for developing CubicWeb itself (not sure yet about cubes). And it makes `tox --develop` work as well. Add a test for cwconfig._find_prefix within a virtualenv. In tox.ini, use `develop option`_ accordingly. This makes tox running significantly faster since it avoids building and installing the sdist. Aside, the "develop" install is now performed *after* all test requirements are processed, which means that the cubicweb package should always be the one from source -- instead of a released version pulled by a cube through test dependencies, which may occur in "recreate" step. .. _`develop option`: <http://tox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config.html#confval-usedevelop=BOOL

[edit controller] Fix composite entity reparenting when inlined This implies handling the reparenting case sooner, otherwise the child entity modifications are cancelled (see 113e9da47afc). Add a new test to ensure non-regression in all previous tests. Closes #10291977.

[forms] Do not raise errors on composite required relation being deleted The entity included in the composite will be deleted in such a case, so the field is not required even when the cardinality is '1' or '+'. Related to #8529868

[edit controller] Cancel RQL queries to be performed on entities to be deleted Composite relation removal via the EditController trigger an entity removal. Changes on such a to-be-removed entity must be cancelled as they may trigger integrity errors before the deletion occurs. Closes #8529868.

[edit controller] fix handling of removal of subentities from an edit form In CubicWeb 3.18 the semantics of dropping a composite relation were changed. It had before the effect of deleting the subentities. Now the edit controller must handle this by itself (it was not adapted then by mistake). So if it detects the removal of a composite relation (on the browser side, the user clicked on the "remove" action), the subentity is now explicitly deleted. It was chosen not to change the form generation but the EditController: - to ensure pre-3.18 forms backward compat - to avoid the introduction of a specific entity-deletion API (RQL is probably our best API for complex DB operations) Related to #8529868.

[server] improve TZDatetime support by depending on logilab-database 1.15.0 including https://www.logilab.org/ticket/1485893, we can now keep the tzinfo attribute on datetime objects for TZDatetime attributes, so one knows that this is a tz-aware datetime. To easily make it work with backends that have no tz support, we keep converting tz-aware datetime objects into utc naive datetime objects before sending them to the database.

[schema] Use TZDatetime for creation_date and modification_date No work has been done for form fields/widgets since creation_date / modification_date are by default not editable through the default UI. One may want to add such feature at some point. Time will be displayed as UTC, let the end-application decide otherwise by customizing the tzdatetime printer if desired. Closes #4848923

[dataimport] massive_store: do not drop constraints multiple times It is now done in __init__.

[dataimport] massive_store: do not drop constraints with `cascade` since it breaks things We want to be able to restore constraints at the end of the import. If they are silently dropped due to a CASCADE, we can't do that.

[dataimport] massive_store: drop all constraints in __init__ and restore all in finish This should avoid dependency issues when dropping specific constraints (e.g. when dropping a primary constraint referenced by a foreign key constraint). We only do this in master mode, slave mode stores are supposed to work with an initialized db already.

[dataimport] massive_store: ignore primary key when requesting indexes on a table Primary keys show up in both lists of constraints and indexes. Pick a side and stick to it.

[dataimport] massive_store: reformat sql query

[devtools] Use super() in TestServerConfiguration.__init__() While cleaning up the use of init_config() in WSGIAppTC, I wondered why the method was trying to set the 'https_uiprops' and 'https_datadir_url' attributes on the config, when WebConfiguration's __init__ should be taking care of setting them. WSGIAppTC uses the default configuration - one that derives from ApptestConfiguration (noted as G below). The issue is that the class hierarchy of ApptestConfiguration includes TestServerConfiguration (C in the graph below) which calls ServerConfiguration's __init__ directly (B below). As B does not have an __init__ method, CubicWebConfiguration's __init__ is called directly (A below). This has the unintended consequence of preventing WebConfiguration's __init__ from being called. A / \ B D | | C E \ / F | G | ... A: cwconfig.CubicWebConfiguration B: server.serverconfig.ServerConfiguration C: devtools.TestServerConfiguration D: web.webconfig.WebConfiguration E: etwist.twconfig.WebConfigurationBase F: devtools.BaseApptestConfiguration G: devtools.ApptestConfiguration NB: unittest_wsgi wasn't really broken, as it's the only test in wsgi/test/, but I figured I might as well clean it up.

[migration/test] avoid test interdependency by removing fakecustomtype cube There is still a failing test afterward but it doesn't seem related to changes in this series.

[migration/test] use numeric(precision, scale) instead of geometry The latter requires the postgis extension which is overkill for this test.

[server, hooks] allow callable in dbh.TYPE_MAPPING This is necessary for cubes introducing new custom final types whose generated sql may depend on some extra configuration, avoiding ugly-buggy hack as done currently by the postgis cube. Closes #7569998

[migration] consider extra_props in rdef created during attribute creation hook else we may miss important data such as type parametrization (see postgis.Geometry for instance). Related to #7569998

[migration] only define variable if needed

[migration] handle non-existing attribute type when adding an entity type The final type needs to be added to the schema first. Related to #7569998.

[migration] handle the case where new final entity type is not yet in the schema This may occur on new cube addition. Related to #7569998.

[migration] config.add_cubes should ensure site_cubicweb of new cubes is called Related to #7569998

[migration] test addition of a cube providing a custom final type This does not work yet. Related to #7569998

[server] add test demonstrating cache update pb since cw > 3.21 Fixed by the previous changeset.

Bring back the separate web-side entity cache Prior to changeset 635cfac73d28 "[repoapi] fold ClientConnection into Connection", we had two entity caches: one on the client/dbapi/web side, and one on the server/repo side. This is a waste, but it is actually needed as long as we have the magic _cw attribute on entities which must sometimes be a request and sometimes a cnx. Removing the duplication caused weird problems with entity._cw alternating between both types of objects, which is unexpected by both the repo and the web sides. We add an entity cache on ConnectionCubicWebRequestBase, separate from the Connection's, and bring back the _cw_update_attr_cache/dont-cache-attrs mechanism, to let the server/edition code let caches know which attributes have been modified Entity.as_rset can be cached again, as ResultSet no longer modifies the entity when fetching it from a cache. Contrary to the pre-3.21 code, _cw_update_attr_cache now handles web requests and connections in the same way (otherwise the cache ends up with wrong values if a hook modifies attributes), but dont-cache-attrs is never set for (inlined) relations. Closes #6863543

Backout "[entity,storage] remove hackish code from the bfss path The merge of the repo-side and web-side entity caches doesn't actually work, because entities have a _cw attribute which is sometimes a connection and sometimes a web request, and whose nature changes not-really-predictably whenever ResultSet.get_entity() is called and brings it out of the cache. This reverts commit 59a79300f213.

merge with 3.21.5-2

[doc] add documentation about drop_cube
