#1131 shows that `direnv` installation is _most_ of the CI overhead introduced by #1105. Instead of using `direnv`, let's just use a simple `.env` file that can be loaded with `source` or [`direnv`'s `dotenv` directive](https://direnv.net/man/direnv-stdlib.1.html#codedotenv-ltdotenvpathgtcode).

Setup
Rust, a C compiler, and CMake are required to build Puffin.
Testing Puffin requires multiple specific Python versions. We provide a script to bootstrap development by downloading the required versions.
Linux
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, you can install the C compiler and CMake with
sudo apt install build-essential cmake
macOS
CMake may be installed with Homebrew:
brew install cmake
The Python bootstrapping script requires coreutils
and zstd
; we recommend installing them with Homebrew:
brew install coreutils zstd
See the Python section for instructions on installing the Python versions.
Windows
You can install CMake from the installers or with pipx install cmake
(make sure that the pipx install path is in PATH
, pipx complains if it isn't).
Python
Install required Python versions with the bootstrapping script:
scripts/bootstrap/install.sh
The installed Python binaries will be available in <repo>/bin
and must be added to your path to be used. We
provide a .env
file with the proper environment variables for development. You may activate it with:
source .env
Or, if you use direnv
to manage your environment:
echo "dotenv" >> .envrc
direnv allow
Testing
To run the tests we recommend nextest. Make sure to run the tests with --all-features
, otherwise you'll miss most of our integration tests.
Running inside a docker container
Source distributions can run arbitrary code on build and can make unwanted modifications to your system (https://moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/someones-been-messing-with-my-subnormals.html, https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/), which can even occur when just resolving requirements. To prevent this, there's a Docker container you can run commands in:
docker buildx build -t puffin-builder -f builder.dockerfile --load .
# Build for musl to avoid glibc errors, might not be required with your OS version
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --profile profiling --features vendored-openssl
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app puffin-builder /app/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/profiling/puffin-dev resolve-many --cache-dir /app/cache-docker /app/scripts/popular_packages/pypi_10k_most_dependents.txt
We recommend using this container if you don't trust the dependency tree of the package(s) you are trying to resolve or install.
