# Setting up for development

* The project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management and [tox](https://tox.wiki) for testing environments.

* Install dependencies using uv:

```
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```

* Run the development version of otava using uv:

```
uv run otava ...
```

See the [uv docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for more.

# Running tests

```
uv run pytest
```

...or using [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/):

```
uv run tox
```

# Linting and formatting

Code-style is enforced using [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) and [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/); import optimisation is handled by [isort](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/) and [autoflake](https://pypi.org/project/autoflake/).  Linting is automatically applied when tox runs tests; if linting fails, you can fix trivial problems with:

```
uv run tox -e format
```

# Changing the LICENSE header

To change the license header:
1. Add the `--remove-header` arg to `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
2. Run formatting (this will remove the license header entirely)
```
uv run tox -e format
```
3. Remove the `--remove-header` arg from `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
4. Update `ci-tools/license-templates/LICENSE.txt`
5. Run formatting
```
uv run tox -e format
```

# Build a docker image

```
uv run tox -e docker-build
```
