pw_presubmit#

Python tools for running presubmit checks and linters

Stable Python

The presubmit module provides Python tools for running presubmit checks and checking and fixing code format. It also includes the presubmit check script for the Pigweed repository, pigweed_presubmit.py.

Presubmit checks are essential tools, but they take work to set up, and projects don’t always get around to it. The pw_presubmit module provides tools for setting up high quality presubmit checks for any project. We use this framework to run Pigweed’s presubmit on our workstations and in our automated building tools.

The pw_presubmit module also includes pw format, a tool that provides a unified interface for automatically formatting code in a variety of languages. With pw format, you can format Bazel, C, C++, Python, GN, and Go code according to configurations defined by your project. pw format leverages existing tools like clang-format, and it’s simple to add support for new languages. (Note: Bazel formatting requires buildifier to be present on your system. If it’s not Bazel formatting passes without checking.)

The pw_presubmit package includes presubmit checks that can be used with any project. These checks include:

Check code format of several languages including C, C++, and Python
Initialize a Python environment
Run all Python tests
Run pylint
Run mypy
Ensure source files are included in the GN and Bazel builds
Build and run all tests with GN
Build and run all tests with Bazel
Ensure all header files contain #pragma once (or, that they have matching #ifndef/#define lines)
Ensure lists are kept in alphabetical order
Forbid non-inclusive language
Check format of TODO lines
Apply various rules to .gitmodules or OWNERS files
Ensure all source files are in the build

Python 3

Creating a presubmit check for your project#

Creating a presubmit check for a project using pw_presubmit is simple, but requires some customization. Projects must define their own presubmit check Python script that uses the pw_presubmit package.

A project’s presubmit script can be registered as a pw_cli plugin, so that it can be run as pw presubmit.

Setting up the command-line interface#

The pw_presubmit.cli module sets up the command-line interface for a presubmit script. This defines a standard set of arguments for invoking presubmit checks. Its use is optional, but recommended.

Common `pw presubmit` command line arguments#

usage: pw presubmit [-h] [-b commit | --all] [-e regular_expression]
                    [--dry-run] [-k] [--continue-after-build-error]
                    [--rng-seed RNG_SEED]
                    [--output-directory OUTPUT_DIRECTORY]
                    [--package-root PACKAGE_ROOT] [--clear]
                    [pathspec ...]

Positional Arguments#

pathspec: Paths or patterns to which to restrict the checks. These are interpreted as Git pathspecs. If –base is provided, only paths changed since that commit are checked.

Named Arguments#

-b, --base

Git revision against which to diff for changed files. Default is the tracking branch of the current branch: @{upstream}

Default: “@{upstream}”

--all, --full

Run actions for all files, not just changed files.

-e, --exclude

Exclude paths matching any of these regular expressions, which are interpreted relative to each Git repository’s root.

Default: []

--dry-run

Execute the presubits with in dry-run mode. System commands thatpw_presubmit would run are instead printed to the terminal.

-k, --keep-going

Continue running presubmit steps after a failure.

--continue-after-build-error

Within presubmit steps, continue running build steps after a failure.

--rng-seed

Seed for random number generators.

Default: 1

--output-directory

Output directory (default: <repo root>/out/presubmit)

--package-root

Package root directory (default: <env directory>/packages)

--clear, --clean

Delete the presubmit output directory and exit.

`pw_presubmit.cli` Python API#

Argument parsing code for presubmit checks.

pw_presubmit.cli.add_arguments( parser: ArgumentParser, programs: Programs | None = None, default: str = '', ) → None#: Adds common presubmit check options to an argument parser.

pw_presubmit.cli.run(

default_program: Program | None,

program: Sequence[Program],

step: Sequence[Check],

substep: str,

output_directory: Path | None,

package_root: Path,

clear: bool,

root: Path | None = None,

repositories: Collection[Path] = (),

only_list_steps=False,

list_steps: Callable[[], None] | None = None,

dry_run: bool = False,

**other_args,

) → int#

Processes arguments from add_arguments and runs the presubmit.

Parameters:

default_program – program to use if neither –program nor –step is used
program – from the –program option
step – from the –step option
substep – from the –substep option
output_directory – from –output-directory option
package_root – from –package-root option
clear – from the –clear option
root – base path from which to run presubmit checks; defaults to the root of the current directory’s repository
repositories – roots of Git repositories on which to run presubmit checks; defaults to the root of the current directory’s repository
only_list_steps – list the steps that would be executed, one per line, instead of executing them
list_steps – list the steps that would be executed with their docstrings
**other_args – remaining arguments defined by by add_arguments

Returns:

exit code for sys.exit; 0 if successful, 1 if an error occurred

Presubmit output directory#

The pw_presubmit command line interface includes an --output-directory option that specifies the working directory to use for presubmits. The default path is out/presubmit. A subdirectory is created for each presubmit step. This directory persists between presubmit runs and can be cleaned by deleting it or running pw presubmit --clean.

Presubmit checks#

A presubmit check is defined as a function or other callable. The function must accept one argument: a PresubmitContext, which provides the paths on which to run. Presubmit checks communicate failure by raising an exception.

Presubmit checks may use the filter_paths decorator to automatically filter the paths list for file types they care about.

Either of these functions could be used as presubmit checks:

@pw_presubmit.filter_paths(endswith='.py')
def file_contains_ni(ctx: PresubmitContext):
    for path in ctx.paths:
        with open(path) as file:
            contents = file.read()
            if 'ni' not in contents and 'nee' not in contents:
                raise PresumitFailure('Files must say "ni"!', path=path)

def run_the_build(_):
    subprocess.run(['make', 'release'], check=True)

Presubmit checks functions are grouped into “programs” – a named series of checks. Projects may find it helpful to have programs for different purposes, such as a quick program for local use and a full program for automated use. The example script uses pw_presubmit.Programs to define quick and full programs.

By default, presubmit steps are only run on files changed since @{upstream}. If all such files are filtered out by filter_paths, then that step will be skipped. This can be overridden with the --base and --full arguments to pw presubmit. In automated testing --full is recommended, except for lint/format checks where --base HEAD~1 is recommended.

class pw_presubmit.presubmit_context.PresubmitContext( root: Path, repos: tuple[Path, ...], output_dir: Path, failure_summary_log: Path, paths: tuple[Path, ...], all_paths: tuple[Path, ...], package_root: Path, luci: LuciContext | None, override_gn_args: dict[str, str], format_options: FormatOptions, num_jobs: int | None = None, continue_after_build_error: bool = False, rng_seed: int = 1, full: bool = False, _failed: bool = False, dry_run: bool = False, use_remote_cache: bool = False, pw_root: Path = PosixPath('/b/s/w/ir/x/w/co'), )

Substeps#

Presubmit steps can define substeps that can run independently in other tooling. These steps should subclass SubStepCheck and must define a substeps() method that yields SubStep objects. SubStep objects have the following members:

name: Name of the substep
_func: Substep code
args: Positional arguments for _func
kwargs: Keyword arguments for _func

SubStep objects must have unique names. For a detailed example of a SubStepCheck subclass see GnGenNinja in build.py.

Existing Presubmit Checks#

A small number of presubmit checks are made available through pw_presubmit modules.

Code Formatting#

Formatting checks for a variety of languages are available from pw_presubmit.format_code. These include C/C++, Java, Go, Python, GN, and others. All of these checks can be included by adding pw_presubmit.format_code.presubmit_checks() to a presubmit program. These all use language-specific formatters like clang-format or black.

Example changes demonstrating how to add formatters:

These will suggest fixes using pw format --fix.

Options for code formatting can be specified in the pigweed.json file (see also SEED-0101). These apply to both pw presubmit steps that check code formatting and pw format commands that either check or fix code formatting.

python_formatter: Choice of Python formatter. Options are black (default, used by Pigweed itself) and yapf.
black_path: If python_formatter is black, use this as the executable instead of black.
black_config_file: Set the config file for the black formatter.
exclude: List of path regular expressions to ignore. Will be evaluated against paths relative to the checkout root using re.search.

Example section from a pigweed.json file:

{
  "pw": {
    "pw_presubmit": {
      "format": {
        "python_formatter": "black",
        "black_config_file": "$pw_env{PW_PROJECT_ROOT}/config/.black.toml"
        "black_path": "black",
        "exclude": [
          "\\bthird_party/foo/src"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Sorted Blocks#

Blocks of code can be required to be kept in sorted order using comments like the following:

# keep-sorted: start
bar
baz
foo
# keep-sorted: end

This can be included by adding pw_presubmit.keep_sorted.presubmit_check to a presubmit program. Adding ignore-case to the start line will use case-insensitive sorting.

By default, duplicates will be removed. Lines that are identical except in case are preserved, even with ignore-case. To allow duplicates, add allow-dupes to the start line.

Prefixes can be ignored by adding ignore-prefix= followed by a comma-separated list of prefixes. The list below will be kept in this order. Neither commas nor whitespace are supported in prefixes.

# keep-sorted: start ignore-prefix=',"
'bar',
"baz",
'foo',
# keep-sorted: end

Inline comments are assumed to be associated with the following line. For example, the following is already sorted. This can be disabled with sticky-comments=no.

# keep-sorted: start
# TODO: b/1234 - Fix this.
bar,
# TODO: b/5678 - Also fix this.
foo,
# keep-sorted: end

By default, the prefix of the keep-sorted line is assumed to be the comment marker used by any inline comments. This can be overridden by adding lines like sticky-comments=%,# to the start line.

Lines indented more than the preceding line are assumed to be continuations. Thus, the following block is already sorted. keep-sorted blocks can not be nested, so there’s no ability to add a keep-sorted block for the sub-items.

# keep-sorted: start
* abc
  * xyz
  * uvw
* def
# keep-sorted: end

The presubmit check will suggest fixes using pw keep-sorted --fix.

Future versions may support additional multiline list items.

.gitmodules#

Various rules can be applied to .gitmodules files. This check can be included by adding pw_presubmit.gitmodules.create() to a presubmit program. This function takes an optional argument of type pw_presubmit.gitmodules.Config. Config objects have several properties.

allow_submodules: bool = True — If false, don’t allow any submodules.
allow_non_googlesource_hosts: bool = False — If false, all submodule URLs must be on a Google-managed Gerrit server.
allowed_googlesource_hosts: Sequence[str] = () — If set, any Google-managed Gerrit URLs for submodules most be in this list. Entries should be like pigweed for pigweed-review.googlesource.com.
require_relative_urls: bool = False — If true, all submodules must be relative to the superproject remote.
allow_sso: bool = True — If false, sso:// and rpc:// submodule URLs are prohibited.
allow_git_corp_google_com: bool = True — If false, git.corp.google.com submodule URLs are prohibited.
require_branch: bool = False — If true, all submodules must reference a branch.
validator: Callable[[PresubmitContext, Path, str, dict[str, str]], None] = None — A function that can be used for arbitrary submodule validation. It’s called with the PresubmitContext, the path to the .gitmodules file, the name of the current submodule, and the properties of the current submodule.

#pragma once#

There’s a pragma_once check that confirms the first non-comment line of C/C++ headers is #pragma once. This is enabled by adding pw_presubmit.cpp_checks.pragma_once to a presubmit program.

#ifndef/#define#

There’s an ifndef_guard check that confirms the first two non-comment lines of C/C++ headers are #ifndef HEADER_H and #define HEADER_H. This is enabled by adding pw_presubmit.cpp_checks.include_guard_check() to a presubmit program. include_guard_check() has options for specifying what the header guard should be based on the path.

This check is not used in Pigweed itself but is available to projects using Pigweed.

TODO(b/###) Formatting#

There’s a check that confirms TODO lines match a given format. Upstream Pigweed expects these to look like TODO: https://pwbug.dev/### - Explanation, but projects may define their own patterns instead.

For information on supported TODO expressions, see Pigweed’s TODO style.

Python Checks#

There are two checks in the pw_presubmit.python_checks module, gn_pylint and gn_python_check. They assume there’s a top-level python GN target. gn_pylint runs Pylint and Mypy checks and gn_python_check runs Pylint, Mypy, and all Python tests.

Inclusive Language#

The inclusive language check looks for words that are typical of non-inclusive code, like using “master” and “slave” in place of “primary” and “secondary” or “sanity check” in place of “consistency check”.

These checks can be disabled for individual lines with “inclusive-language: ignore” on the line in question or the line above it, or for entire blocks by using “inclusive-language: disable” before the block and “inclusive-language: enable” after the block.

OWNERS#

There’s a check that requires folders matching specific patterns contain OWNERS files. It can be included by adding module_owners.presubmit_check() to a presubmit program. This function takes a callable as an argument that indicates, for a given file, where a controlling OWNERS file should be, or returns None if no OWNERS file is necessary. Formatting of OWNERS files is handled similary to formatting of other source files and is discussed in Code Formatting.

JSON#

The JSON check requires all *.json files to be valid JSON files. It can be included by adding json_check.presubmit_check() to a presubmit program.

Source in Build#

Pigweed provides checks that source files are configured as part of the build for GN, Bazel, and CMake. These can be included by adding source_in_build.gn(filter) and similar functions to a presubmit check. The CMake check additionally requires a callable that invokes CMake with appropriate options.

pw_presubmit#

The pw_presubmit package provides tools for running presubmit checks.

exception pw_presubmit.PresubmitFailure(description: str = '', path: Path | None = None, line: int | None = None)#

Optional exception to use for presubmit failures.

__init__(description: str = '', path: Path | None = None, line: int | None = None)#

class pw_presubmit.Programs(**programs: Sequence)#

A mapping of presubmit check programs.

Use is optional. Helpful when managing multiple presubmit check programs.

__init__(**programs: Sequence)#

Initializes a name: program mapping from the provided keyword args.

A program is a sequence of presubmit check functions. The sequence may contain nested sequences, which are flattened.

pw_presubmit.call(*args, call_annotation: dict[Any, Any] | None = None, **kwargs) → None#: Optional subprocess wrapper that causes a PresubmitFailure on errors.

pw_presubmit.filter_paths( *, endswith: Iterable[str] = (), exclude: Iterable[Pattern[str] | str] = (), file_filter: FileFilter | None = None, always_run: bool = False, ) → Callable[[Callable], Check]#

Decorator for filtering the paths list for a presubmit check function.

Path filters only apply when the function is used as a presubmit check. Filters are ignored when the functions are called directly. This makes it possible to reuse functions wrapped in @filter_paths in other presubmit checks, potentially with different path filtering rules.

Parameters:

endswith – str or iterable of path endings to include
exclude – regular expressions of paths to exclude
file_filter – FileFilter used to select files
always_run – Run check even when no files match

Returns:

a wrapped version of the presubmit function

Git hook#

You can run a presubmit program or step as a git hook using pw_presubmit.install_hook. This can be used to run certain presubmit checks before a change is pushed to a remote.

We strongly recommend that you only run fast (< 15 seconds) and trivial checks as push hooks, and perform slower or more complex ones in CI. This is because,

Running slow checks in the push hook will force you to wait longer for git push to complete, and
If your change fails one of the checks at this stage, it will not yet be uploaded to the remote, so you’ll have a harder time debugging any failures (sharing the change with your colleagues, linking to it from an issue tracker, etc).

Example#

A simple example presubmit check script follows. This can be copied-and-pasted to serve as a starting point for a project’s presubmit check script.

See pigweed_presubmit.py for a more complex presubmit check script example.

Code formatting tools#

The pw_presubmit.format_code module formats supported source files using external code format tools. The file format_code.py can be invoked directly from the command line or from pw as pw format.

Example#

A simple example of adding support for a custom format. This code wraps the built in formatter to add a new format. It could also be used to replace a formatter or remove/disable a PigWeed supplied one.
