openEO Aggregator Driver

Driver to run an openEO back-end that combines the collections and compute power of a set of openEO back-ends.

Install

Basic install from source, preferably in some kind of virtual environment:

pip install .

When planning to do development, it is recommended to install it in development mode with the dev "extra":

pip install -e .[dev]

Usage

Flask dev mode

To run locally in development mode, with standard Flask workflow, for example (also see ./scripts/run-flask-dev.sh):

export FLASK_APP=openeo_aggregator.app
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

The webapp should be available at http://localhost:5000/openeo/1.0

With gunicorn

To run the app as gunicorn application, with desired options, for example (also see ./scripts/run-gunicorn.sh):

gunicorn --workers=4 --bind 0.0.0.0:8080 'openeo_aggregator.app:create_app()'

The webapp should be available at http://localhost:8080/openeo/1.0

Docker image

There is a Dockerfile to build a Docker image, for example:

docker build -t openeo-aggregator .

The image runs the app in gunicorn by default, serving on 0.0.0.0:8080. For example, to run it locally:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 openeo-aggregator

The webapp should be available at http://localhost:8080/openeo/1.0

Configuration

The flask/gunicorn related configuration can be set through standard flask/gunicorn configuration means like command line options or env variables, as shown above.

Gunicorn config

For gunicorn there is an example config at src/openeo_aggregator/config/examples/gunicorn-config.py, for example to be used like this:

gunicorn --config=src/openeo_aggregator/config/examples/gunicorn-config.py openeo_aggregator.app:create_app()

Application/Flask config

The openEO-Aggregator specific configuration, is grouped by an AggregatorBackendConfig container object (subclass of OpenEoBackendConfig as defined in the openeo-python-driver framework project). The most important config value is aggregator_backends, which defines the backends to "aggregate". See src/openeo_aggregator/config/config.py for more details and other available configuration options.

The conf folder contains config files for the dev and production variant of this application config:

• conf/aggregator.dev.py
• conf/aggregator.prod.py

Use the env var OPENEO_BACKEND_CONFIG to point to the desired config path. For example, using the example dummy config from the repo:

export OPENEO_BACKEND_CONFIG=src/openeo_aggregator/config/examples/aggregator.dummy.py

Also note that these concrete config files will be refactored out of the openeo-aggregator repo at some point in the future (#117) and probably only a dummy default config will be preserved.

Logging

Logging is set up (by default) through config/logging-json.conf.

Running tests

You can run the unit tests with pytest, the usual way.

pytest

This will only pick up the unit tests, which you can find in the directory tests.

That is to say, when you run the command pytest without specifying a specific directory or file it will not run the integration tests, only the unit tests. That is a deliberate choice because the integration tests could take long and they run against a backend server. We want to avoid that you have to wait a long time for each test run during your development cycle.

So if you want integration tests then you have to run those separately, as described below in Running integration tests.

Running subsets of tests

Pytest provides various options to run a subset or just a single test.

Run pytest -h for a quick overview or check the pytest documentation for more information.

Some examples (that can be combined):

• Select by substring of the name of a test with the -k option:

    # Run all tests with `collections` in their name
    pytest -k collections
  

• Skip tests that are marked as slow:

    # Run all tests that do not have the maker "slow": @pytest.mark.slow
    pytest -m "not slow"
  

Running integration tests

To make it easier to run the integration test suite against the default backend you can run the following shell script (from the root of your local git repository):

./scripts/run-integration-tests.sh

To run the integration test suite against any other OpenEO backend:

• first, specify the backend base URL in environment variable OPENEO_BACKEND_URL ,
• then run the tests with pytest integration-tests/

For example:

export OPENEO_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8080/
pytest integration-tests/

Debugging and troubleshooting tips

• The tmp_path fixture provides a fresh temporary folder for a test to work in. It is cleaned up automatically, except for the last 3 runs, so you can inspect generated files post-mortem. The temp folders are typically situated under /tmp/pytest-of-$USERNAME.

• To disable pytest's default log/output capturing, to better see what is going on in "real time", add these options:

    --capture=no --log-cli-level=INFO
