Package: odoo13-addon-github-connector
This module allows you to:Fetch into Odoo social information from Github (Organizations, Teams, Users)Fetch into Odoo Code structure information from Github (Repositories,
Branches)Download source code from GithubAnalyze repository code from rules previously createdTable of contentsInstallationConfigurationTechnical InformationUsageInitial upload from GithubSelect branches to downloadTeam / members synchronizationRepositories synchronizationFetching the source codeAnalysis source codeData creation in GithubNoteReportingKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersInstallationTo install this addon, you need to install some python dependencies``sudopipinstallPyGitHub````sudopipinstallpygount````sudopipinstallpathspec``Analysis source code is generated byhttps://github.com/roskakori/pygountConfigurationOnce installed, you have to:Open your odoo.conf file and add extra settings to mention Github
credentials, and the local path where the source code will be downloaded:source_code_local_path = /workspace/source_code/Note: you can define the route as environment variable using the key
SOURCE_CODE_LOCAL_PATHNote: make sure that Odoo process has read / write access on that foldergithub_token = your_github_access_tokenorgithub_login = your_github_logingithub_password = your_github_passwordNote: if token and login/password are provided, the token will be used.
The login/password auth will be deprecated by GitHub in the future.Go to ‘Settings’ / ‘Technical’ / ‘Parameters’ / ‘System Parameters’
and define the following values:github.max_try: number of call to the API before an error
is raised. The more unstable/slow your connection, the higher should be
this valuegit.partial_commit_during_analysis: Set toTrueif you want to
commit the result of the analysis in the database after each repository
analysis. We recommend to set toTruewhen you perform the initial
download (potentially with a lot of repositories) in order to reduce the
size of the transactionGo to your(s) user(s) form to add them in the new ‘Connector Github Manager’
groups. The members of this group will have the possibility to run Github
synchronization.Technical InformationThis module provides 4 crons that you can enable:Synchronize All Organizations and Teams (cron_update_organization)Synchronize Branches List for All repositories (cron_update_branch_list)Download Source Code for All Github Branches (cron_download_code)Analyze Source Code for All Github Branches (cron_analyze_code)UsageInitial upload from GithubTo fetch information from Github, you have to:go to ‘Github’ / ‘Settings’ / ‘Sync Object’Select the object type you want to synchronize and its Gthub nameOnce done for your organization(s), go to ‘Github’ / ‘Github Commnunity’ /
‘Organizations’Optionally, once organization is created, you can create series for your
projects. Go to ‘Github’ / ‘Organizations’ / click on your organization /
‘Organization Series’ TabsSelect branches to downloadThis setting will prevent to download undesired branches, downloading only
main branches (releases):In the ‘Settings’ tab, set repositories you don’t want to download
(or repositories you want to download). If ‘Specific repositories’ is set,
‘Ignored Repositories’ value is ignored.In the ‘Settings’ tab, set the URL of the ‘External Services’ you use
for Continuous Integration and Coverage.Once done, click on buttons ‘Syncs’, to synchronize repositories, teams and
members. (This process can take a while depending of your size)Team / members synchronizationYou can synchronize members teams:Go to ‘Teams’ / tree view / ‘Actions’ / ‘Update from Github’.In each team, you can see the members list and the role of the membersIn each team, you can see the repositories list but not the permissions of the
team. (See ‘Known Issues’ Section)Repositories synchronizationYou can synchronize the branches of your repositories:Go to ‘Repositories’ /
tree view / ‘Actions’ / ‘Update from Github’In each repository, you can see the main branches list and the size of code
source.Fetching the source codeFinally, you can download locally the source code of all your branches:Go to ‘Repository Branches’ / tree view / ‘Actions’ / ‘Download and Analyse Source Code’.In the tree view you can update manually source code or refresh analysis.Analysis source codeIt’s possible to create custom analysis rules that relate to a GitHub organization, GitHub repository and/or GitHub repository branch to analyze code.Go to ‘Settings’ / ‘Analysis rule groups’ and create records that allow to organize the rulesGo to ‘Settings’ / ‘Analysis rules’ and create rules, for example:Name: All code, Group: General, Paths:*Name: Python code, Group: General, Paths:*.pyName: Xml code, Group: General, Paths:*.xmlName: Repository 1, Group: Custom, Paths: /path/Note: Paths field in ‘Analysis rule’ allow to put multiple paths for line, path format is according tohttps://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_formatGo toGitHub > GitHub Community > Organizationsand define Analysis rules (optional)Go toGitHub > GitHub Repository > Repositoriesand define Analysis rules (optional)Go toGitHub > GitHub Repository > Repository Branchesand define Analysis rules (optional)Analysis source code is executed when ‘Update Source Code Analysis’ button in some ‘Repository Branch’, get all the Analysis rules (Repository + Organization) and analyze code and generate info about it
Other option to Analysis source code is in cron called ‘Analyze Source Code for All Github Branches’You can see in ‘Repository Branch’ / ‘Code Analysis’ the info obtained from analysis rules.Data creation in GithubYou have the possibility to creates two items in Github directly from OdooTeams:Go to ‘Settings’ / ‘Create Team in Github’.Set the information and click on Create in Github.Odoo will try to create the team. If access right and datas are correct,
the creation will be done directly in GithubLater on, a synchronization will be performed, to create the according
team in the Odoo instance.Repositories:Go to ‘Settings’ / ‘Create Team in Github’.Set the information and click on Create in Github.NoteAnalysis in this module is basic: for the time being, it just gives branches
size.Nevertheless, you can develop an extra Odoo Custom module to extend analysis
function and get extra statistics, depending on your needs.In that way, you can see the module github_connector_odoo, if your repositories
contain Odoo modules.ReportingThis module provides several reportsBranches by SerieSizes by SerieRepository branch analysis ruleKnown issues / RoadmapFor the time being, Github API doesn’t provide some informations that are
available by the classic UI, that includes:team hierarchy: the field is present in the model github_team.parent_id,
but unused.Possible improvements:Create a new module github_connector_website, that could display
teams / repositories / branches informations for non logged users.Analyze commits (author, quantity by series, etc…):
this feature has been partially implemented in a V8.0 PR.Synchronize Pull Request, Issues, Comments:
this feature has been partially implemented in a V8.0 PR.Refactor the github connector:A python library called PyGitHub is available. It could be interesting
to use it, instead of using custom code. However, this lib doesn’t provide
good access to child object, generating for the time being, unnecessary
API calls. For example, updating a repository should call before a call to
the parent organization (The current module is so faster).Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
