fix: Adapt versioning scheme to Home Assistant and switch to uv (#896)
Home Assistant expects versioning always increases numbers. Add
a date component to the development version to comply with this
expectation. The scheme is now 0.0.0.dev<date><hash>.

Use uv for creating and managing the virtual environment for developement.
This enourmously speeds up dependency updates. For this change
dependency requirements are now solely handled in pyproject.toml.
requirements.tx and requirements-dev.txt are deleted.

Development Guide

Development Prerequisites

Have or create a GitHub account.

Make shure all the source installation prequistes are installed. See the installation guideline for a detailed list of tools.

Under Linux the make tool should be installed as we have a lot of pre-fabricated commands for it.

Install your favorite editor or integrated development environment (IDE):

Step 1 Fork the Repository

Fork the EOS repository to your GitHub account.

Clone your fork locally and add the EOS upstream remote to track updates.

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        git clone https://github.com/<YOURUSERNAME>/EOS.git
        cd EOS
        git remote add eos https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS.git

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        git clone https://github.com/<YOURUSERNAME>/EOS.git
        cd EOS
        git remote add eos https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS.git

Replace <YOURUSERNAME> with your GitHub username.

Step 2 Development Setup

This is recommended for developers who want to modify the source code and test changes locally.

Step 2.1 Create a Virtual Environment

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run python scripts/get_version.py > version.txt
        uv sync --extra dev

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run python scripts/get_version.py > version.txt
        uv sync --extra dev

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make install

Step 2.2 - Install pre-commit

Our code style and commit message checks use pre-commit.

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        pre-commit install
        pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg --hook-type pre-push

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        pre-commit install
        pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg --hook-type pre-push

Step 3 - Run EOS

Make EOS accessible at http://localhost:8503/docs and EOSdash at http://localhost:8504.

Option 1 Using Python Virtual Environment

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eos

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eos

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make run

To have full control of the servers during development you may start the servers independently - e.g. in different terminal windows. Don't forget to activate the virtual environment in your terminal window.

:::{admonition} Note :class: note If you killed or stopped the servers shortly before, the ports may still be occupied by the last processes. It may take more than 60 seconds until the ports are released. :::

You may add the --reload true parameter to have the servers automatically restarted on source code changes. It is best to also add --startup_eosdash false to EOS to prevent the automatic restart interfere with the EOS server trying to start EOSdash.

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eosdash --host localhost --port 8504 --log_level DEBUG --reload true

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eosdash --host localhost --port 8504 --log_level DEBUG --reload true

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make run-dash-dev
.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eos --host localhost --port 8503 --log_level DEBUG --startup_eosdash false --reload true

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eos --host localhost --port 8503 --log_level DEBUG --startup_eosdash false --reload true

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make run-dev

Option 2 Using Docker

Step 3.1 Build the Docker Image

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        docker build -t akkudoktoreos .

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        docker build -t akkudoktoreos .

Step 3.2 Run the Container

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        docker run -d `
          --name akkudoktoreos `
          -p 8503:8503 `
          -p 8504:8504 `
          -e OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 `
          -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 `
          -e MKL_NUM_THREADS=1 `
          -e EOS_SERVER__HOST=0.0.0.0 `
          -e EOS_SERVER__PORT=8503 `
          -e EOS_SERVER__EOSDASH_HOST=0.0.0.0 `
          -e EOS_SERVER__EOSDASH_PORT=8504 `
          --ulimit nproc=65535:65535 `
          --ulimit nofile=65535:65535 `
          --security-opt seccomp=unconfined `
          akkudoktor-eos:latest

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

          docker run -d \
            --name akkudoktoreos \
            -p 8503:8503 \
            -p 8504:8504 \
            -e OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 \
            -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 \
            -e MKL_NUM_THREADS=1 \
            -e EOS_SERVER__HOST=0.0.0.0 \
            -e EOS_SERVER__PORT=8503 \
            -e EOS_SERVER__EOSDASH_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
            -e EOS_SERVER__EOSDASH_PORT=8504 \
            --ulimit nproc=65535:65535 \
            --ulimit nofile=65535:65535 \
            --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
            akkudoktor-eos:latest

Step 3.3 Manage the Container

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        docker logs -f akkudoktoreos
        docker stop akkudoktoreos
        docker start akkudoktoreos
        docker rm -f akkudoktoreos

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        docker logs -f akkudoktoreos
        docker stop akkudoktoreos
        docker start akkudoktoreos
        docker rm -f akkudoktoreos

For detailed Docker instructions, refer to Installation Guideline

Step 4 - Create the changes

Step 4.1 - Create a development branch

Create a local development branch and make it know on your GitHub repo.

git checkout -b <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH>
git push --set-upstream origin <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH>

Replace <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH> with the development branch name. The branch name shall be of the format (feat|fix|chore|docs|refactor|test)/[a-z0-9._-]+, e.g:

  • feat/my_cool_new_feature
  • fix/this_annoying_bug
  • ...

Step 4.2 Edit the sources

Use your fovourite editor or IDE to edit the sources.

Step 4.3 - Check the source code for correct format

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        pre-commit run --all-files

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        pre-commit run --all-files

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make format

Step 4.4 - Test the changes

At a minimum, you should run the module tests:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run pytest -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run pytest -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make test

:::{admonition} Note :class: Note Depending on your changes you may also have to change the version.py and documentation files. Do as suggested by the tests. You may ignore the version.py and documentation changes up until you finalize your change. :::

You should also run the system tests. These include additional tests that interact with real resources:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run pytest --system-test -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run pytest --system-test -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make test-system

To do profiling use:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run python tests/single_test_optimization.py --profile

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run python tests/single_test_optimization.py --profile

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make test-profile

Step 4.5 - Commit the changes

Add the changed and new files to the commit.

Create a commit.

Step 5 - Pull request

Before creating a pull request assure the changes are based on the latest EOS upstream.

Update your local main branch:

git checkout main
git pull eos main

Switch back to your local development branch and rebase to main.

git checkout <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH>
git rebase -i main

During rebase you can also squash your changes into one (preferred) or a set of commits that have proper commit messages and can easily be reviewed.

After rebase run the tests once again.

If everything is ok push the commit(s) to your fork on Github.

git push -f origin

If your push by intention does not comply to the rules you can skip the verification by:

git push -f --no-verify origin

Once ready, submit a pull request with your fork to the Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS@master repository.

Developer Tips

Keep Your Fork Updated

Regularly pull changes from the eos repository to avoid merge conflicts:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        git checkout main
        git pull eos main
        git push origin

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        git checkout main
        git pull eos main
        git push origin

Rebase your development branch to the latest eos main branch.

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        git checkout  <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH>
        git rebase -i main

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        git checkout  <MY_DEVELOPMENT_BRANCH>
        git rebase -i main

Create Feature Branches

Work in separate branches for each feature or bug fix:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        git checkout -b feat/my-feature

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        git checkout -b feat/my-feature

Run Tests Frequently

Ensure your changes do not break existing functionality:

.. tabs::

  .. tab:: Windows

     .. code-block:: powershell

        uv run pytest -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux

     .. code-block:: bash

        uv run pytest -vs --cov src --cov-report term-missing

  .. tab:: Linux Make

     .. code-block:: bash

        make test

Follow Coding Standards

Keep your code consistent with existing style and conventions.

Keep Python Docstrings RST Compatible

The docstrings will be parsed by Sphinx in automatic documentation generation.

Use Issues for Discussion

Before making major changes, open an issue or discuss with maintainers.

Document Changes

Update docstrings, comments, and any relevant documentation.
