Merge lp:~milo/linaro-ci-dashboard/views-refactoring into lp:linaro-ci-dashboard

[Milo Casagrande]

Here there is all the refactoring work trying to unify the various views with a more hierarchical structure.
The diff here might be really huge!

Work done so far:
- refactored the create, update and detail views of each sub-application, creating a generic super class for each views, and inheriting from it. The generic classes are stored in `frontend/views'.
- created generic HTML templates for the views, to be used as super class always for inheritance. All the generic templates are stored in `frontend/templates'.
- the HTML templates have been created using a "<div>" approach, defining also some CSS class that might be used for visual layout.
- refactored the code where necessary, adding also some tests.

[Milo Casagrande (milo)]

This is moslty all that there is.

For the "build" part, I tried a couple of different approaches, but none really worked. Using even the get_model static method, we need to recunstruct the model from the class, so or we override __init__ or create some custom methods for each loop. I still think that defining for each loop the build URL and a basic build_view is probably better than having the heavily depend on getattr.

There might still be some tweaks to do in the future if we insert ManyToMany fields or other relationship fields in the model and we need to show them, since we will need to traverse the PK and get the real values.

Fixed test regression.

Merged from trunk.

Thanks for the extensive refactoring Milo !!1!

Couple of things to fix while I go further through the code:

1. 'Schedule build' does not work on kernel loops (no appropriate javascript handler on the page).
2. 'Next loop in chain' on detail page (at least one, textfield loop) is not a link as suggested, but it just states 'Loop object'
3. 'Schedule build' breaks if the loop has chained loop. This is because the AndroidLoop model has overriden method schedule_build with only one parameter instead of two like the parent model (I know this is not of your doing, at least not in this branch) but this looks like a good place to fix it).

2.5 fixed.
The only missing part is the link part for the chainable loop,
deliberately left out from this, since I wanted to find a better way
to do it (otherwise I will have to check if the value comes from the
"next_loop" field). The "Loop object" thing was a regression, it
should have been the name anyway.

The point 3, was it broken only in AndroidLoop? The others seem to
work for me locally.

3. happens when you chain AndroidLoop on the AndroidTextFieldLoop create page. I'll double check if it's something on my side but you can include the proposed fix for now. (it makes sense that other modules work because the broken method definition is in the AndroidLoop model only)

[Stevan Radaković (stevanr)]

Also, didn't we agreed to have the Build detail view page as well as part of this WI? :/

Yep, but I left it out of the refactoring. Will probably split the WI
if I can't land it by today.

 Tests should be written and defined inside each sub-application.
 
+== Class Hierarchy ==
+
+=== Templates & Views ===
+
+The `frontend' base application includes the general HTML Django templates that
+each sub-application should base itself on. These templates are stored in the
+`frontend/templates/' directory.
+
+The `base.html' template is the basic structures for all the HTML pages in the
+application.
+The `login.html' template is the one used for login capabilities.
+The `home.html' template is empty for the moment.
+The `list_chainable' template is used for defining chainability of a loop.
+
+The templates with `create', `update', `detail' and `build' words in them are
+used to implement the views of each loop. These are the templates each loop
+templates should inherit from.
+
+This is the inheritance hierarchy for the HTML templates, in this case for the
+`create' view:
+
+base.html
+   ^
+   |
+   ^
+   |
+loop_create_view.html
+   ^
+   |
+   ^
+   |
+android_build_create_view.html
+
+In a sub-application template, if nothing particular is needed, it is only
+necessary to specify the correct URL name, as defined in each sup-application
+`urls.py' file.
+
+This is the inheritance hierarchy for the Python view classes, always for a
+`create' view:
+
+loop_create_view.py
+   ^
+   |
+   ^
+   |
+android_build_create_view.py
+
+Based on the view Python class, in each sub-application, if nothing special is
+needed, it is only necessary to override the following variables:
+ * template_name
+ * form_class
+ * model
+ * reverse_url or build_path
+
+What should never be overridden is:
+ * context_object_name
+ * slug_field
+
+
+
