Element - Base element class
============================


.. _core_element_abstract_methods:

Abstract Methods
----------------
For loading and configuration purposes, Elements must implement the
:ref:`Plugin base class abstract methods <core_plugin_abstract_methods>`.


.. _core_element_build_phase:

Build Phase
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following methods are the foundation of the element's *build
phase*, they must be implemented by all Element classes, unless
explicitly stated otherwise.

* :func:`Element.configure_sandbox() <buildstream.element.Element.configure_sandbox>`

  Configures the :class:`.Sandbox`. This is called before anything else

* :func:`Element.stage() <buildstream.element.Element.stage>`

  Stage dependencies and :class:`Sources <buildstream.source.Source>` into
  the sandbox.

* :func:`Element.prepare() <buildstream.element.Element.prepare>`

  Call preparation methods that should only be performed once in the
  lifetime of a build directory (e.g. autotools' ./configure).

  **Optional**: If left unimplemented, this step will be skipped.

* :func:`Element.assemble() <buildstream.element.Element.assemble>`

  Perform the actual assembly of the element


Miscellaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miscellaneous abstract methods also exist:

* :func:`Element.generate_script() <buildstream.element.Element.generate_script>`

  For the purpose of ``bst source checkout --include-build-scripts``, an Element may optionally implement this.

    # - Artifact state
    #   - Cache key
    #     - Must be known to compute this state
    # - Build status
    #   - Artifact state
    #     - Must be known before we can decide whether to build
    #
    # Note that sub-states are dependent on each other, and changes to
    # one state will effect changes in the next.
    #
    # Changes to these states can be caused by numerous things,
    # notably jobs executed in sub-processes. Changes are performed by
    # invocations of the following methods:
    #
    # - __update_resolved_state()
    #   - Computes the state of all sources of the element.
    # - __update_cache_keys()
    #   - Computes the strong and weak cache keys.
    # - _update_artifact_state()
    #   - Computes the state of the element's artifact using the
    #     cache key.
    # - _schedule_assembly_when_necessary()
    #   - Schedules assembly of an element, iff its current state
    #     allows/necessitates it
    # - __update_cache_key_non_strict()
    #   - Sets strict cache keys in non-strict builds
    #     - Some non-strict build actions can create artifacts
    #       compatible with strict mode (such as pulling), so
    #       this needs to be done
    #
    # When any one of these methods are called and cause a change,
    # they will invoke methods that have a potential dependency on
    # them, causing the state change to bubble through all potential
    # side effects.
    #
    # *This* method starts the process by invoking
    # `__update_resolved_state()`, which will cause all necessary state
    # changes. Other functions should use the appropriate methods and
    # only update what they expect to change - this will ensure that
    # the minimum amount of work is done.
