Handle properly the '/https/*' urls CW uses a url prefix to detect https behing a reverse-proxy. A more proper way to do that is documented here in the waitress documentation (waitress is the default pyramid wsgi server): https://waitress.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#using-behind-a-reverse-proxy A later version should implement this, or use waitress in the 'pyramid' command. Related to #4291181

Correctly pass the multiple parameters to the cubicweb request When naively converted to a dict, the webob MultiDict will not set the multiple parameters (a same name with several values) in a way CW can understand. MultiDict.mixed() however, does exactly what CW needs: list values for keys with multiple values, and single value for the others. Related to #4291181

Add a wsgi application factory suitable for wsgi servers. This factory can generate a wsgi application for a cubicweb instance. It reads the instance name from the CW_INSTANCE environment variable, and activates the debugmode if CW_DEBUG is defined in environment. It is usable by uwsgi as the 'module' parameter : CW_INSTANCE=test uwsgi --plugins python,http --http 0.0.0.0:8080 --module pyramid_cubicweb:wsgi_application()

If any cube has a 'includeme' attribute, call config.include on it Related to #4291181

Add a make_cubicweb_application function This function will be used by the 'pyramid' cubicweb-ctl command. Related to #4291173

Use registry['cubicweb.registry'] instead of registry['cubicweb.appli'].vreg because the application may not be present. Related to #4291173

Use a predicate based view selection for handling /login This will allow easy addition of login handlers from the application or cubes Related to #4291173

Use a tween application instead of a catchall route. Using a catchall route has some drawbacks. Especially, we have no mean to have a route that would match only if no other one does AND no view matches either. Said differently, our default handler cannot be plugged on the route level nor the view level, because it is has to be activated only if nothing else works in the pyramid application. Using a tween application allow to handle requests that raises a HTTPNotFound error, while having the pyramid error handler still active between our tween app and the outside world.

Put the login view in a separate module. Related to #4291173

Separate into 4 modules * init_instance: load the cubicweb repository from the `pyramid_cubicweb.instance` configuration key * defaults: provides cw-like defaults for the authentication and session management * core: make cubicweb use the authentication and session management of pyramid. It assumes the application provides the auth policies and session factory, and that the `cubicweb.*` registry entries are correctly initialised. This is this only required module or pyramid_cubicweb, the other ones are optional if the application provides its own versions of what they do. * bwcompat: provides a catchall route that delegate the request handling to an old-fashion cubicweb publisher (ie using url_resolver and controllers).

Add comments on parts we want to reconsider later Related to #4291173

Skip core_handle, add a context manager to handle cubicweb errors The context manager is also used to catch errors in render_view. It handles the 'external' errors raised by cubicweb code. The more internal errors, the one that should occur only in url resolving and cubicweb controllers, are handled directly in CubicWebPyramidHandler. ValidationError is handled by CubicWebPyramidHandler for now, but should probably be handled by cw_to_pyramid Related to #4291173

Use short-lived cubicweb sessions to let pyramid actually handle the web sessions Related to #4291173

Isolate the default handler and extend its role The handler now does the job of CubicWebPublisher.main_handle_request() and calls CubicWebPublisher.core_handle(). Instead of using config.add_notfound_view, a catchall route is defined and the handler plugged to it. Related to #4291173

Add a basic sample application Related to #4291173

Integration pyramid and cubicweb authentication. We use pyramid sessions to store the cubicweb sessionid so we can reuse it when needed, or regenerate it if it was lost. The cubicweb sessionid is obtained from a login in the repo OR directly from the user identified by pyramid. Related to #4291173

[doc] Escape _ in README.md So that the Markdown is okay.

Initial implementation Set up a default route that passes requests to a cubicweb instance. The requests are wrapped in an adequate adapter so that cubicweb works with no change. Related to #4291173

Project Structure Related to #4291173

[tox] Have less test environments This is to reduce the load on CI server because of parallel clones of the repository in Docker containers. Only keep "server", and "web" environments separated. All other prior environments are in "misc". To avoid duplicate entries in requirements files, move them all in a "requirements" directory (this appears to be a "common" practice, see e.g. Celery). Adjustments in tests: * Rename cubicweb/hooks/test/unittest_notification.py so that it does not conflict with cubicweb/sobjects/test/unittest_notification.py during test discovery as they would have the same module name but different __file__ attribute. * Add "comment" cube to the list of expected cubes in unittest_cwconfig.py as this cube is pulled by requirements/test-mist.txt. Closes #15440662.

[repo] Don't crash on start when fs schema is missing some db schema entities This occurs usually while developping and we don't want systematically to rebuild the database to start the instance or run e.g. i18ninstance.
