Python Http Tutorial Source

This is the repository for the Python Http Tutorial source connector, written in Python. For information about how to use this connector within Airbyte, see the documentation.

Local development

Prerequisites

To iterate on this connector, make sure to complete this prerequisites section.

Minimum Python version required = 3.7.0

Build & Activate Virtual Environment and install dependencies

From this connector directory, create a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv

This will generate a virtualenv for this module in .venv/. Make sure this venv is active in your development environment of choice. To activate it from the terminal, run:

source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you are in an IDE, follow your IDE's instructions to activate the virtualenv.

Note that while we are installing dependencies from requirements.txt, you should only edit setup.py for your dependencies. requirements.txt is used for editable installs (pip install -e) to pull in Python dependencies from the monorepo and will call setup.py. If this is mumbo jumbo to you, don't worry about it, just put your deps in setup.py but install using pip install -r requirements.txt and everything should work as you expect.

Building via Gradle

You can also build the connector in Gradle. This is typically used in CI and not needed for your development workflow.

To build using Gradle, from the Airbyte repository root, run:

./gradlew :airbyte-integrations:connectors:source-python-http-tutorial:build

Create credentials

If you are a community contributor, follow the instructions in the documentation to generate the necessary credentials. Then create a file secrets/config.json conforming to the source_python_http_tutorial/spec.json file. Note that any directory named secrets is gitignored across the entire Airbyte repo, so there is no danger of accidentally checking in sensitive information. See sample_files/sample_config.json for a sample config file.

If you are an Airbyte core member, copy the credentials in Lastpass under the secret name source python-http-tutorial test creds and place them into secrets/config.json.

Locally running the connector

python main.py spec
python main.py check --config sample_files/config.json
python main.py discover --config sample_files/config.json
python main.py read --config sample_files/config.json --catalog sample_files/configured_catalog.json

Unit Tests

To run unit tests locally, from the connector directory run:

python -m pytest unit_tests

Locally running the connector docker image

Build

First, make sure you build the latest Docker image:

docker build . -t airbyte/source-python-http-tutorial:dev

You can also build the connector image via Gradle:

./gradlew :airbyte-integrations:connectors:source-python-http-tutorial:airbyteDocker

When building via Gradle, the docker image name and tag, respectively, are the values of the io.airbyte.name and io.airbyte.version LABELs in the Dockerfile.

Run

Then run any of the connector commands as follows:

docker run --rm airbyte/source-python-http-tutorial:dev spec
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/sample_files:/sample_files airbyte/source-python-http-tutorial:dev check --config /sample_files/config.json
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/sample_files:/sample_files airbyte/source-python-http-tutorial:dev discover --config /sample_files/config.json
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/sample_files:/sample_files -v $(pwd)/sample_files:/sample_files airbyte/source-python-http-tutorial:dev read --config /sample_files/config.json --catalog /sample_files/configured_catalog.json

Integration Tests

1. From the airbyte project root, run ./gradlew :airbyte-integrations:connectors:source-python-http-tutorial:integrationTest to run the standard integration test suite.
2. To run additional integration tests, place your integration tests in a new directory integration_tests and run them with python -m pytest -s integration_tests. Make sure to familiarize yourself with pytest test discovery to know how your test files and methods should be named.

Dependency Management

All of your dependencies should go in setup.py, NOT requirements.txt. The requirements file is only used to connect internal Airbyte dependencies in the monorepo for local development.

Publishing a new version of the connector

You've checked out the repo, implemented a million dollar feature, and you're ready to share your changes with the world. Now what?

1. Make sure your changes are passing unit and integration tests.
2. Bump the connector version in Dockerfile -- just increment the value of the LABEL io.airbyte.version appropriately (we use SemVer).
3. Create a Pull Request.
4. Pat yourself on the back for being an awesome contributor.
5. Someone from Airbyte will take a look at your PR and iterate with you to merge it into master.
