Generating releases has only been tested on Linux, but it ought to work the same way also on OSX and other unixes. Creating releases is only supported with Python 3.6 or newer.
The pip and invoke commands below are also expected to run on Python
3.6+. Alternatively, it's possible to use the python3.6 -m pip approach
to run these commands.
Many steps are automated using the generic Invoke tool with a help by our rellu utilities, but also other tools and modules are needed. A pre-condition is installing all these, and that's easiest done using pip and the provided requirements.txt file:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Invoke tasks are defined in the tasks.py file and they are executed from the command line like:
inv[oke] task [options]
Test that everything works:
python demoapp/server.py robot login_tests
Move regenerated log and report to docs:
inv move-docs
If README.rst has changed, generate project documentation based on it:
inv project-docs
