The oops_wsgi package provides integration glue between wsgi web servers and
the oops error reporting system (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oops).

Dependencies
============

* Python 2.6+ or 3.3+

* oops (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oops)

Testing Dependencies
====================

* subunit (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-subunit) (optional)

* testtools (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/testtools)

Usage
=====

oops_wsgi provides integration with an oops.Config, permitting errors in your
web application to be gathered centrally, with tracebacks and other diagnostic
information.

Typically, something like this:

* Setup your configuration::

  >>> from oops import Config
  >>> config = Config()

Note that you will probably want at least one publisher, or your reports will
be discarded.

* Add in wsgi specific hooks to the config::

  >>> oops_wsgi.install_hooks(config)

This is a convenience function - you are welcome to pick and choose the creation
or filter hooks you want from oops_wsgi.hooks.

* Create your wsgi app as normal, and then wrap it::

  >>> app = oops_wsgi.make_app(app, config)

If any exception bubbles up through this middleware, an oops will be logged. If
the body of the request had not started, then a custom page is shown that
shows the OOPS id, and the exception is swallowed. Exceptions that indicate
normal situations like end-of-file on a socket do not trigger OOPSes. If the
OOPS is filtered, or no publishers are configured, then the exception will
propogate up the stack - the oops middleware cannot do anything useful in these
cases. (For instance, if you have a custom 404 middleware above the oops
middleware in the wsgi stack, and filter 404 exceptions so they do not create
reports, then if the oops middleware did anything other than propogate the
exception, your custom 404 middleware would not work.

If the body had started, then there is no way to communicate the OOPS id to the
client and the exception will propogate up the wsgi app stack.

You can customise the error page if you supply a helper that accepts (environ,
report) and returns HTML to be sent to the client.

   >>> def myerror_html(environ, report):
   ...    return '<html><body><h1>OOPS! %s</h1></body></html>' % report['id']
   >>> app = oops_wsgi.make_app(app, config, error_render=myerror_html)

Or you can supply a string template to be formatted with the report.

   >>> json_template='{"oopsid" : "%(id)s"}'
   >>> app = oops_wsgi.make_app(app, config, error_template=json_template)

For more information see pydoc oops_wsgi.

Installation
============

Either run setup.py in an environment with all the dependencies available, or
add the working directory to your PYTHONPATH.


Development
===========

Upstream development takes place at https://launchpad.net/python-oops-wsgi.
To setup a working area for development, if the dependencies are not
immediately available, you can use ./bootstrap.py to create bin/buildout, then
bin/py to get a python interpreter with the dependencies available.

To run the tests use the runner of your choice, the test suite is
oops_wsgi.tests.test_suite.

For instance::

  $ bin/py -m testtools.run oops_wsgi.tests.test_suite

If you have testrepository you can run the tests with that::

  $ testr run
