mksetup: resulting setup.py not working about viur-base

[xnopasaranx]

Tried to debug this and cannot figure out exactly what setup.py does regarding directory structure. There is a number of things that are done redundantly and which clean-base subsequently clobbers.

• The script does not differentiate between python2 and python3 installs, so running it simply with python mksetup.py > setup.py will fail on systems which default to python3
• it downloads vi and server from the latest builds url, instead of using git like clean-base.py is doing, which leads to unpleasantness.

We should throw out at least one of these scripts! There needs to be a consistent way to initialize a fresh project.

Hello @xnopasaranx,

• The setup.py script is generated from the base project's deploy directory's contents to provide a way to quickly setup a ViUR project with the latest server and vi, without any compromise. It is the simplest and easiest way to start with a fresh ViUR project. There is no other dependency than just gcloud SDK to run it.
• The clean-base.py script uses the base project's git repository itself as a development base for a new project, which is intended to be managed by git and uses all required ViUR modules as submodules to be easier updated. This way is the "professional" way in how to set up a clean base project for a new application that will be developed on top of it, including customized Vi extensions and third-party libraries.

I tested both way, running the generated setup.py that fell our from the same call as you generated it, and running clean-base.py after cloning base into a fresh directory, both ways work well and as expected, so there might be a problem with your Python versions or another issue that causes your tests to fail.

Here is my protocol of the setup.py-based way:

neo@falcon ~/Mausbrand/base $ mkdir /tmp/v
neo@falcon ~/Mausbrand/base $ python2 mksetup.py >/tmp/v/setup.py
neo@falcon ~/Mausbrand/base $ cd /tmp/v
neo@falcon /tmp/v $ python2 setup.py

Welcome to the raw setup utility!

I tested to call http://localhost:8080 on both installations, and it worked as expected.

We should throw out at least one of these scripts! There needs to be a consistent way to initialize a fresh project.

No, this is exactly the thing we don't want. We provide any way to easily use ViUR, both in the git-based repository setup and in an entirely independent, one-script setup. Surely, with some future developments like ViUR control, the setup.py script might be abandoned, but currently, it is not and shall be kept, especially because the entire documentation depends on it.

So long,
Jan
