Development Toolkit is a library of modules intended to help with development task automation, and more generally with writing scripts for software development. This notably includes building and packaging applications, running tests, software delivery, interacting with processes, communicating with web services, managing configuration files, parsing logs, managing artifacts, etc.
See the Automation documentation page for more information on the topic.
This project is free and open source software. See About for more information.
This toolkit is about providing interfaces for common development tools as well as utilities for simple, commonplace operations. It does not replace compilers, editors, test runners, etc., but provides means to unify their interfaces and aggregate their results. It also helps with the shortcomings of tools when they cannot be addressed directly.
The project is developed using Python and supports the usual workflows with pip, pylint and pytest. It is highly recommended to use a Python virtual environment.
Additionally, there are commands to automate development related tasks, as can be found under Automation. Use the Automation/Setup/setup.py script for a quick setup. Following that, the commands will be available through .venv-automation/scripts/automation, or automation directly after activating the venv-automation virtual environment. This executable corresponds to the Automation/Scripts/automation_scripts/run_command.py script. Use the --help option for information, and the --simulate option if you wish to check a command's behavior before actually running it.
