Intro +## Main purpose +PyAGL was written to be used as a testing framework replacing the Lua afb-test one, +however the modules are written in a way that could be used as standalone utilities to query +and evaluate apis and verbs from the App Framework Binder services in AGL. + +## High level overview +Python compatibility: +Initial development PyAGL was done with Python **3.6** in mind, heavily using f-strings and a few typings. As of writing this +documentation(June 3rd 2021), current stable AGL version is Koi 11.0.2 which has Python 3.8, and further development is +done using 3.8 and 3.9 runtimes although **no** version-specific features are used from later versions; +features **used** are kept within features **offered** by Python version first used for PyAGL in AGL Jellyfish. + +The test suite is written in a relatively standard way of extending **pytest** with a couple tweaks +tailored to Jenkins CI and LAVA for AGL with regards to output and timings/timeouts, and these tweaks are enabled by running `pytest -L` +in order to enable LAVA logging behavior. + +The way PyAGL works could be summarized in several bullets below: + * `websockets` package is used to communicate to the services, `x-afb-ws-json1` is used as a subprotocol, + * base.py provides AGLBaseService to be extended for each service + * AGLBaseService has a portfinder() routine which will use `asyncssh` if used remotely, +to figure out the port of the service's websocket that is listening on. When this was implemented services had a hardcoded listening port, +and was often changed when a new service was introduced. If you specify port, pyagl will connect to it directly. If no port is specified and +portfinder() cannot find the process or listening port should throw an exception and exit. + * main() implementations in most PyAGL services' bindings are intended to be used as a convenient standalone utility to query verbs, although +not necessarily available. + * PyAGL bindings are organized in classes, method names and respective parameters mostly adhere to service verbs/apis described +per service in https://git.automotivelinux.org/apps/agl-service-*/about +For example, in https://git.automotivelinux.org/apps/agl-service-audiomixer/about/ the docs for the service describe 5 verbs - +subscribe, unsubscribe, list_controls, volume, mute - and their respective methods in audiomixer.py. + * as mentioned above `pytest` package is required for unit tests. + * `pytest-async` is needed by pytest to cooperate with asyncio + * `pytest-dependency` is used in cases where specific testing order is needed and used via decorators + +# 1. Using PyAGL +There are few prerequisites to start using it. First, your AGL image **must** be bitbaked with **agl-devel** feature when sourcing aglsetup.sh; +if not - the running AGL instance won't have websocket services exposed to listening TCP ports and PyAGL will fail to connect. + +```bash +git clone "https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/pyagl" +``` +Preferably create a virtualenv and install the packages in the env +```bash +pip install -r requirements.txt +``` +Hard requirements are asyncssh, websockets, pytest, pytest-dependency, pytest-async; the others in the file are dependencies of the mentioned packages. +``` +cd pyagl/pyagl/services +python3 audiomixer.py 192.168.234.34 --list_controls +``` +or if you have installed PyAGL as python package +``` +python3 -m pyagl.services.audiomixer --list_controls +``` +should produce the following or similar result depending on how many controls are exposed and which AGL version you are running: +``` +matching services: ['afm-service-agl-service-audiomixer--0.1--main@1001.service'] +Requesting list_controls with id 359450446 +[RESPONSE][Status: success][359450446][Info: None][Data: [{'control': 'Master Playback', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, +{'control': 'Playback: Speech-Low', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, {'control': 'Playback: Emergency', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, +{'control': 'Playback: Speech-High', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, {'control': 'Playback: Navigation', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, +{'control': 'Playback: Multimedia', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, {'control': 'Playback: Custom-Low', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, +{'control': 'Playback: Communication', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}, {'control': 'Playback: Custom-High', 'volume': 1.0, 'mute': 0}]] +``` + +# 2.

Writing bindings and/or tests for new services +Templates directory contains barebone _cookiecutter_ templates to create your project. +If you do not intend to use cookiecutter, you need a simple service file in which you inherit AGLBaseService +from base.py. +You can take a look at pyagl/services/geoclue.py and pyagl/tests/test_geoclue.py which is probably the +simplest binding in PyAGL for a reference and example.
