This document explains the processes and practices recommended for contributing enhancements to this operator.

• Generally, before developing enhancements to this charm, you should consider opening an issue explaining your use case.
• If you would like to chat with us about your use-cases or proposed implementation, you can reach us at Canonical Mattermost public channel or Discourse.
• Familiarising yourself with the Charmed Operator Framework library will help you a lot when working on new features or bug fixes.
• All enhancements require review before being merged. Additionally, new code must pass the tests. Code review typically examines
  • code quality
  • test coverage
  • user experience for Juju administrators of this charm.
• Please help us out in ensuring easy to review branches by rebasing your pull request branch onto the main branch. This also avoids merge commits and creates a linear Git commit history.

This operator charm can be deployed locally using Juju on a localhost LXD cloud. If you do not already have a Juju controller bootstrapped, you can set one up by doing the following:

# install requirements 
sudo snap install charmcraft --classic
sudo snap install lxd
sudo snap install juju --classic

# configure lxd
sudo adduser $USER lxd
newgrp lxd
lxd init --auto
lxc network set lxdbr0 ipv6.address none

# bootstrap controller to lxd
juju clouds
juju bootstrap localhost overlord

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/canonical/object-storage-integrator.git
cd object-storage-integrator/

Create and activate a virtualenv, and install the development requirements:

virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

tox run -e format        # update your code according to linting rules
tox run -e lint          # code style
tox run -e unit          # unit tests
tox run -e integration   # integration tests
tox                      # runs 'lint' and 'unit' environments

Build the charm in this git repository using:

charmcraft pack

# Create a model
juju add-model development

# Enable DEBUG logging
juju model-config logging-config="<root>=INFO;unit=DEBUG"

# Deploy the charm
juju deploy ./object-storage-integrator_ubuntu-22.04-amd64.charm

The core implementation of this charm is represented by the azure-storage-integrator class. This class will handle the core lifecycle events associated with the charm.
