Developer Guide

Deploy for development

This project uses pip to manage the package. If you want to work on the project yourself you can create the necessary links via:

$ pip3 install --user -e .

That will install a backlink ~/.local/bin/kas to this project. Now you are able to call it from anywhere.

Docker image build

Just run:

$ docker build -t <image_name> .

When you need a proxy to access the internet, add:

--build-arg http_proxy=<http_proxy> --build-arg https_proxy=<https_proxy> --build-arg ftp_proxy=<ftp_proxy> --build-arg no_proxy=<no_proxy>

to the call.

Class for exceptions that appear in the include mechanism.

The includes can be specified in two ways: as a string containing the path, relative to the repository root from the current file, or as a dictionary. The dictionary must have a ‘file’ key containing the path to the include file and a ‘repo’ key containing the key of the repository. The path is interpreted relative to the repository root path.

The includes are read and merged from the deepest level upwards.
