    Classes

    Install(transport_cls, stdout, stderr, stdin)

    Install a dependency.

    class rbtools.commands.install.Install(transport_cls: type[Transport] = <class 'rbtools.api.transport.sync.SyncTransport'>, stdout: TextIO = <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>, stderr: TextIO = <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stderr>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>, stdin: TextIO = <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdin>' mode='r' encoding='utf-8'>)[source]¶

    Bases: BaseCommand

    author: ClassVar[str] = 'The Review Board Project'[source]¶

    The author of the command.

    Type:

    str

    description: ClassVar[str] = 'Install an optional dependency.'[source]¶

    A short description of the command, suitable for display in usage text.

    Type:

    str

    args: ClassVar[str] = '<package>'[source]¶

    Usage text for what arguments the command takes.

    Arguments for the command are anything passed in other than defined options (for example, revisions passed to rbt post).

    Type:

    str

    option_list: ClassVar[list[Union[Option, OptionGroup]]] = [][source]¶

    Command-line options for this command.

    Type:

    main(package)[source]¶

    Run the command.

    Parameters:

    package (unicode) – The name of the package to install.

    Raises:

    rbtools.commands.CommandError – An error occurred during installation.

    check_download(url, zip_filename)[source]¶

    Check to see if the file was successfully downloaded.

    If the user has gpg installed on their system, use that to check that the package was signed. Otherwise, check the sha256sum.

    Parameters:
    • url (unicode) – The URL that the file came from.

    • zip_filename (unicode) – The filename of the downloaded copy.

    unzip(zip_filename, package_dir)[source]¶

    This method will unpack the contents of a .zip file into a target directory. If that directory already exists, it will first be removed.

    Parameters:
    • zip_filename (unicode) – The absolute path to the .zip file to unpack.

    • package_dir (unicode) – The directory to unzip the files into.

    Raises:

    rbtools.commands.CommandError – The file could not be unzipped.

    download_file(url, label=None)[source]¶

    Download the given file.

    This is intended to be used as a context manager, and the bound value will be the filename of the downloaded file.

    Parameters:
    • url (unicode) – The URL of the file to download.

    • label (unicode, optional) – The label to use for the progress bar. If this is not specified, no progress bar will be shown.

    Yields:

    unicode – The filename of the downloaded file.

    Raises:
