This command should use mrbob with remote configuration:

mrbob -O interlegis.portalmodelo.policy --config https://raw.github.com/plonegovbr/bobtemplates.plonegovbr/master/test_answers_addon.ini https://github.com/plonegovbr/bobtemplates.plonegovbr/zipball/master#bobtemplates/plonegovbr/addon

but it is getting some erros

usage: mrbob [-h] [-O TARGET_DIRECTORY] [-v] [-c CONFIG] [-V] [-l] [-w] [-n]
             [-q]
             [template]
mrbob: error: TemplateConfigurationError: Config not found: /tmp/tmpkiFRWj/bobtemplates/plonegovbr/addon/.mrbob.ini

and the errors are invalid since the file .mrbob.ini exists:

https://github.com/plonegovbr/bobtemplates.plonegovbr/blob/master/bobtemplates/plonegovbr/addon/.mrbob.ini

Using mr.bob 0.1a7:
When using a bobtemplates.-package, checkout out via with mr.developer
the generated package contains .svn-folders from the original bobtemplates.-package.
These should be excluded, as well as other hidden (D)VCS-related directories.

If I'm informed correctly, it is possible to use a template via file system copy, or to specify the URL of an archive to be extracted.

What I'd like to be able to do, is: to clone my template. That way I could update my generated bobtemplates.plone packages when the template has improved.

Git

The template would be used by git clone <source.git> <dest-dir>.

Subversion

The template would be created by some svn copy <svn-url> <dest-url> command.

The dest-url could be constructed using the given dest-dir and a configured projects base url.
The commit message could be generated, e.g. as mr.bob: creating <dest-dir> and an information about the command used.

By default, the .../trunk of the source template would be copied (unless configured otherwise) to the trunk of the new package, and tags and branches would be created via svn mkdir <svn-url>... (it is possible to create more than one in one commit); the trunk would be used for the svn checkout ... <dest-dir>.

There would be several svn commits in the process; no problem, if you ask me.

When svn resources are copied this way, .svn folders in the copy are no problem anymore (#43).

Others

Once one is implemented, it shouldn't be difficult to add more.

Any SCM tool

Renamings would need to be done using the rename or mv command of the respective SCM tool; there are git mv and svn mv (which is an alias for svn move), for example.

Hi - I'm getting a bit confused about the versions of mr.bob.

In pypi there are two modules: mr.bob and mr.bob2.
The mr.bob2 latest version is 0.2.3, but there is no changelog for that, and i cannot see any tags matching the 0.2.x line here in this git repo.

Is this repo the place where mr.bob development takes place? Where is the 0.2.x line?

Kind regards, and thank you for all the good work!

Hi,

we are using mr.bob in version 0.1.2 with Python 3.6 and Plone 5.2.1. Everytime we add a new content type like you can see in the following block the __init__.py file inside my.app/src/my/app/content/ gets truncated.

$ mrbob bobtemplates.plone:content_type
Welcome to mr.bob interactive mode. Before we generate directory structure, some questions need to be answered.

>>> reading Plone version from bobtemplate.cfg

Generated file structure at /home/user/plone/zeocluster/src/my.addon

Also the addon creates a XML schema inside the content folder even if the question about using a XML model was answered with no.

For many needs, asking questions or not depends on answers to previous questions. For example, in the Kotti addon template, code for a content type is written by default. But perhaps the content type questions could be marked with something like:

ask_if     [(package.include_content_type, True), ]

And there could be an ini section for directory and file entries that are similarly marked with:

[conditionals]
    +content_type.classname+.pt.bob     [(package.include_content_type, True), ]

If a directory or file is not listed in the [conditionals] section, it is written by default.

On windows at least, trying to activate mrbob from an url fail with a I/O error 13, permission denied from urlretrieve in configurator.py / parse_template.

The reason is that urlretrieve expect to open in write mode the file name passed in and fail since tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile already did that.

it seems that (temp_file_name, heasers)= urlretrieve(url) is enough to get a tempfile with the downloaded content in it. (from http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html)

Something like this seems to do the job

(temp_file_name, _ )= urlretrieve(url)
if not is_zipfile(temp_file_name):
    raise ConfigurationError("Not a zip file: %s" % temp_file_name)
zf = ZipFile(temp_file_name)
try:
   path = tempfile.mkdtemp()
   zf.extractall(path)
   return os.path.join(path, subpath), True
finally:
    zf.close()

I received the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

The problem is that my path is:

so the first "\u" is seen as a unicode escape. Fixed by adding repr();

def render_structure(fs_source_root, fs_target_root, variables, verbose, renderer):
    # ...
    if not isinstance(fs_source_root, six.text_type):  # pragma: no cover
        fs_source_root = six.u(repr(fs_source_root)) # <-- added repr() here

Hi,

Adding mr.bob specific entry points in template packages that registers templates would be helpful for auto discovery and documentation on installed templates.

In example:

mrbob --list-templates
flask: a bootstrap for a Flask application
package: a (possibliy namespaced) python package with nose and Sphinx support
buildout: a minimal zc.buildout based application
etc. etc.

This is easier for the end user than remembering (and googling for) which package has which template.

Think about how this can be done currently and improve/document if needed.

If you define a template file with the .bob suffix on its name it gets processed by mrbob, but somehow the file strips the last newline character.

It would be nice if it was kept (or even added unconditionally). This would make parsers like pep8 happier and so the users that run it :)

Hi,

Putting non ASCII characters in questions, answers or default values raise xxxUnicodeError .

My filesystem on Mac is case insensitive. So filename foo and FOO point to the same file, and they cannot coexist as two files.
So when I clone this repo, I get this:

$ git clone [email protected]:collective/mr.bob.git
Cloning into 'mr.bob'...
...
warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths
on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same
colliding group is in the working tree:

  'mrbob/tests/templates/encodingč/mapča/ća.bob'
  'mrbob/tests/templates/encodingč/mapča/ća.bob'

I don't even see a difference in file name. Actually, I don't see a difference on GitHub either, although I do see a slightly different history, with the first file being last changed in 73abeb9, and the last one in ecf4ad6:

• https://github.com/collective/mr.bob/tree/master/mrbob/tests/templates/encodingč/mapča
• https://github.com/collective/mr.bob/tree/master/mrbob/tests/templates/encodingč/mapča

@domenkozar and @jpcw You handled these files? Can you explain what is going on here? Would it be okay to remove these files? In that someone other than me should do it, because I probably cannot actually remove them.
No big deal, I guess.

If I do pip install mr.bob with Python 3.4 on I get Unicode decoding errors. This appears to be somehow related to Unicode filename handling. I haven't worked out the details, but I can confirm that removing the directory encodingč from mrbob/tests/templates fixes the install problem.

I don't follow the tests well enough to propose a patch, but I would suggest that the test that uses a Unicode directory builds the test files in a temporary location during tests setup, rather than shipping them in the sdist. This would avoid the issue - I have used this approach in the past.

[Later] It's a distutils bug ultimately, the --record option writes filenames using the system codepage, which is CP1252 on my Windows box, and that doesn't include the filename characters used here.

I'd like to have an option to tell mr.bob that "whatever is passed as -O on the command-line should be the default value for the 'name' variable (or some other variable)".

Goals:

• Ability to use multiple templates at the same time and depend on them (similar to Templer structures, but uses templates as structures you can depend on)
• Ability to have logic that decides what files get rendered

Implementation:

• variables and defaults are passed to all templates and all questions are collected from the dependency templates
• issue Configurator for each template given global settings
• keep ordered Configurator.dependencies list of templates
• provide include/exclude options for files
• pre/post hooks for executing dependencies
• document local commands can be used as simple as just commands inside a project
• test for multi inheritance
• specify [templates] section something like::

    [template]
    dependency.foobar.template = bobtemplates.foobar/
    dependency.foobar.destination = foobar/
    dependency.foobar.include = **
    dependency.foobar.pre_render_dependency = ....
    dependency.foobar.post_render_dependency = ....
    dependency.licenses.template = bobtemplates.licenses
    dependency.licenses.destination = .

@zupo suggested we should use variables to feed defaults, not answers.

This has important implication that user will be asked all questions and answer only those he doesn't like the default.

If user wishes to skip questions, --non-interactive will skip prompt and fail if a question is not answered.

Hey Domen,

mr.bob can currently be very destructive as it overwrites files by default. This is particularly dangerous when the -O option is not specified.

Here are my suggestions for solutions to this problem:

• Make the -O flag mandatory
• Disable overwriting of files by default (mr.bob should stop as soon as it encounters a file that it will overwrite) and provide a --force option or similar to force overwriting

Cheers
Fotis

[questions]
project.question = What year was the project started?
project.pre_ask_question = mrbob.hooks:set_current_datetime
project.datetime_format = %Y

results into:

configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError: '%' must be followed by '%' or '(', found: '%Y'

My source lives under a src/ folder which contains subdirectories each tied to the canonical dotted package name portion. This is like in java.

Example:

Package Name: mycompany.product.technology.component
File System: src/mycompany/product/technology/component/

I'd expect some magic like the +package.dottedname+

Proposal:

+functionname:param1,param2, paramN+

Example:

+split_on('.', package.dottedname)+

This would need a preprocessing phase for the template variables.To distinguish functions even more from plain variable substitutions you could use another prefix or an another like:

$split_on('.', package.dottedname)$
+%split_on('.', package.dottedname)%+
%split_on('.', package.dottedname)%

or mor lisp like with prefix notation:
+(split_on '.' package.dottedname)+
$(split_on '.' package.dottedname)$
%(split_on '.' package.dottedname)%

This would have to advantage of being easier to parse. The first parameter after the opening bracket is the function name and the rest are the parameters. Or you just use pythons evel to do the function evaluation without further parsing and supplying the variables and args.

This would need some basic functions supplied like the split_on and provide new or unknown ones in the hook.py from the package used.

When jinja2 fails (normally due to a refrenced undefined variables), provide a nice traceback.

Although my setup.py is "regular"
https://github.com/glenfant/bobtemplates.gillux/blob/master/setup.py#L35
When replacing in line 35 "mr.bob" by any other package ("unidecode", "lxml", anything, ...) it works, so I don't think this line is the source of the issue.

The only workaround is to :

pip install mr.bob
pip install bobtemplates.gillux

But I can't say at this stage if the source of that issue is in pip or mr.bob.

If you try to buildout a newly generated mr.bob plone package then an error is thrown.
http://pastebin.com/Z7dn14X1

It has for sure to do with the zc.buildout 2 release.

I am using the mrbob script directly to simply render a template, without any interactivity. (Previously I have used my own command line utility directly using render_structure but this seems redundant when mr.bob provides the mrbob script; perhaps it will be more maintainable or instructive if I reuse the existing command-line interface).

I get lots of output that I don't have any use for and would like to suppress, without having to swallow stdout entirely.

Sample:

> vim mrbob -O flup skeleton
Welcome to mr.bob interactive mode. Before we generate directory structure, some questions need to be answered.

Answer with a question mark to display help.
Value in square brackets at the end of the questions present default value if there is no answer.



Generated file structure at /home/sasha/code/shoring/flup

Although omitting the 'extra' output when there are no questions would be fine, I think it would be nicest to have a command line to suppress interactive prompts entirely (and bail with an error code if prompting would be required). e.g.: --no-prompts or whatever makes sense.

(Then, if people want a --quiet option which simply doesn't write to stdout, they can ask for that as a separate thing. I don't especially need that.)

Is it possible?

Why? I.e. Why is it meant to replace those tools and what feature(s) does mr.bob provide that are not provided by PasteScript? You will be asked this question approximately FIVE MILLION TIMES, so I thought I'd save you the trouble of having to answer it over and over, by suggesting that you add an explanation to your README now. You're welcome. :-)

Since Jinja2 is an optional dependency it would be nice if it wasn't forced to be installed. I want to ship mr.bob with a library I'm creating but I use Mako instead of Jinja2

Show simple example of using ScriptTest.

So, you shouldn't do:

mrbob . -O test

Hello,

Not sure what the error is, since I am pretty new to Python. I am getting the following error when installing mrbob (pip install mr.bob). I am using Windows 10, python 3.5.2, and pip 9.0.1.

Let me know if you need anything else or if this is a newbie issue. I was trying to install Flask-Diamond to walk through the tutorials originally when I got this error, then I just tried to install mr.bob from pip to see if that was issue and got the below error.

Thanks,

C:\Users\mrstu>pip install mr.bob

Hello, just wanted to open up an issue on this to discuss the possibility of making all of mr.bob's code fully flake8 compliant (no exclusions).

Particularly the long lines were a bit unusual to work with when updating the code (having gotten used to the 79 character limit that PEP8 dictates).

I understand that everyone naturally has their own preferences about code style, but just thought I'd throw this out there for discussion.

I'm happy to put the work in to do this if you're interested 😄

Cheers
Fotis

Hi, and thanks again for this very valuable tool,

Could you please write in the doc how to order the questions ?

Many thanks by advance.

This is a feature request. I could help cause I you accept another pull request.

See:

-> if question.name in self.variables:
(Pdb) question.name
'package.namespace'
(Pdb) self.variables
{'author': {'github': {'user': u'niteoweb'}, 'irc': u'irc.freenode.org#niteoweb', 'email': u'[email protected]', 'name': u'NiteoWeb Ltd.'}, 'package': {'namespace': u'niteoweb'}}

Any chance to publish a new version on pypi to get the support to 3.10 ?

Because os.sep on window happens to be ... "" ...

variables_regex = re.compile("+[^+" + os.sep + "]++")

I am not really sure of what pattern you try to capture with regex at the moment, so I can't fix it in a general way (doing os.sep*2 when on windows is a ugly patch and I am not even sure it is what you wanted to do).

Is that regex about that:
Variables can also be used on folder and file names. Surround variables with plus signs. For example foo/+author+/+age+.bob given variables author being Foo and age being 12, foo/Foo/12 will be rendered.

I ran across this one on my project so thought I'd mention it.

Recent versions of pip return the following error when attempting to install mr.bob:

$ pip install mr.bob
Downloading/unpacking mr.bob
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mr.bob (from versions: 0.1a1, 0.1a2, 0.1a3, 0.1a4, 0.1a5, 0.1a6, 0.1a7, 0.1a8, 0.1a9)

The quick fix is to add the --pre (pre-release) flag on the command line:

$ pip install --pre mr.bob
Downloading/unpacking mr.bob
  Downloading mr.bob-0.1a9.zip
  Running setup.py egg_info for package mr.bob
  ...

Since version 1.4, pip ignores "pre-release" versions when looking for a package to install. http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/news.html#id2

This is handy if you also have a stable release in PyPI, but can be very confusing for users when there are only pre-release versions and the install just fails without explanation. Unfortunately pip doesn't suggest the --pre flag when it finds no stable versions.

On my project, I just removed the 'a9' suffix from my version string (was 'b1' in my case).

Currently we don't cover a use case where user might ignore copying a file based on a value of the question variable.

It will mask the regular Python "exceptions" module from everywhere in "mrbob".

hello,

I would like to add a computed variable to my template.
For example adding the current year in a file:
# Copyright {{{ current.year }}}

Any pointer? TIA

For multi templating we could just provide ability to say something like:

• hg+http://blabla/
• git+http://..

Think about benfits and cons.
