# Setup for running perltidy via pre-commit
## Purpose
Periodically it makes sense to be able to compare to our original upstream repository ([Fedora openQA](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora)) or even to cherry pick select improvements to our code. In the best case we might even contribute improvements or bug fixes back to Fedora. In order to do any of those things effectively it is good to keep the code we share with upstream as closely matching as possible.
After we forked from upstream the Fedora QA team [began using `perltidy`](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pull-request/271) to apply and enforce consistent coding stardards to their openQA test code. Additionally, they modified all existing code to implement these coding standards uniformly across the entire repository.
If we adopt the same standard we will benefit from being able to...
- directly compare code in our fork originating from upstream,
- more easily import any existing upstream code
- and we'll also improve our own code quality.
## Pre-Requisites
- pre-commit - [https://pre-commit.com/](https://pre-commit.com/)
- perltidy - [https://metacpan.org/dist/Perl-Tidy/view/bin/perltidy](https://metacpan.org/dist/Perl-Tidy/view/bin/perltidy)
- tidyall - [https://metacpan.org/dist/Code-TidyAll/view/bin/tidyall](https://metacpan.org/dist/Code-TidyAll/view/bin/tidyall)
Install above in your dev system via you preferred method. I used [`cpanm`](https://metacpan.org/dist/App-cpanminus/view/bin/cpanm) to install `Perl::Tidy` and `Code::TidyAll` in my macOS system and `cpanm` was installed with Homebrew.
### install `cpanm`
```
$ brew install cpanminus

Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
$ which cpanm
/usr/local/bin/cpanm
```
**NOTE: Homebrew automatically configures your default shell for `cpanm`.**
### install `perltidy`

## `perltidy` usage
With the `.perltidyrc` configuration adopted from upstream analysis (and repair) of Perl source files is possible. For example...
```
$ perltidy -st main.pm > main.pm.tidy
```
```
$ diff main.pm main.pm.tidy
36c36
< my @a = @{ needle::tags($tag) };
---
> my @a = @{needle::tags($tag)};
52c52
< NEEDLE: for my $needle ( needle::all() ) {
---
> NEEDLE: for my $needle (needle::all()) {
54c54
< for my $tag ( @{$needle->{'tags'}} ) {
---
> for my $tag (@{$needle->{'tags'}}) {
59c59
< for my $value ( @{$valueref} ) {
---
> for my $value (@{$valueref}) {
88c88
< unregister_prefix_tags('DESKTOP', [ get_var('DESKTOP') ])
---
> unregister_prefix_tags('DESKTOP', [get_var('DESKTOP')]);
94c94
< my $langref = [ get_var('LANGUAGE') || 'english' ];
---
> my $langref = [get_var('LANGUAGE') || 'english'];
198c198
< if (! $partitioning || $partitioning ~~ ['guided_empty', 'guided_free_space']) {
---
> if (!$partitioning || $partitioning ~~ ['guided_empty', 'guided_free_space']) {
202c202
< $storage = "tests/disk_".$partitioning.".pm";
---
> $storage = "tests/disk_" . $partitioning . ".pm";
206c206
< if (get_var("ENCRYPT_PASSWORD")){
---
> if (get_var("ENCRYPT_PASSWORD")) {
333c333
< if (get_var("UEFI") &! get_var("NO_UEFI_POST") &! get_var("START_AFTER_TEST")) {
---
> if (get_var("UEFI") & !get_var("NO_UEFI_POST") & !get_var("START_AFTER_TEST")) {
```
It should be evident from the above that without these changes it will become challenging to detect differences between our code and upstream code moving forward from the point where Fedora QA applied these code standards to all sources.
## Using `tidy` to check and/or fix code
The utility wrapper `tidy` provided by Fedora in the upstream repository can be used to launch `tidyall` with options described in `tidy`.
For example, dropping an untidy'd copy of our `main.pm` as `foo.pm`...
```
[geekotest@openqa-dev ~]$ cd /var/lib/openqa/tests/rocky
[geekotest@openqa-dev rocky]$ ./tidy --check foo.pm
[checked] foo.pm
*** needs tidying
[geekotest@openqa-dev rocky]$ ./tidy foo.pm
[tidied] foo.pm
[geekotest@openqa-dev rocky]$ ls .tidyall.d/backups/
foo.pm-20230212-203202.bak
```
```
[geekotest@openqa-dev rocky]$ diff .tidyall.d/backups/foo.pm-20230212-203202.bak foo.pm
36c36
< my @a = @{ needle::tags($tag) };
---
> my @a = @{needle::tags($tag)};
52c52
< NEEDLE: for my $needle ( needle::all() ) {
---
> NEEDLE: for my $needle (needle::all()) {
54c54
< for my $tag ( @{$needle->{'tags'}} ) {
---
> for my $tag (@{$needle->{'tags'}}) {
59c59
< for my $value ( @{$valueref} ) {
---
> for my $value (@{$valueref}) {
88c88
< unregister_prefix_tags('DESKTOP', [ get_var('DESKTOP') ])
---
> unregister_prefix_tags('DESKTOP', [get_var('DESKTOP')]);
94c94
< my $langref = [ get_var('LANGUAGE') || 'english' ];
---
> my $langref = [get_var('LANGUAGE') || 'english'];
198c198
< if (! $partitioning || $partitioning ~~ ['guided_empty', 'guided_free_space']) {
---
> if (!$partitioning || $partitioning ~~ ['guided_empty', 'guided_free_space']) {
202c202
< $storage = "tests/disk_".$partitioning.".pm";
---
> $storage = "tests/disk_" . $partitioning . ".pm";
206c206
< if (get_var("ENCRYPT_PASSWORD")){
---
> if (get_var("ENCRYPT_PASSWORD")) {
333c333
< if (get_var("UEFI") &! get_var("NO_UEFI_POST") &! get_var("START_AFTER_TEST")) {
---
> if (get_var("UEFI") & !get_var("NO_UEFI_POST") & !get_var("START_AFTER_TEST")) {
```
## Automatic application with pre-commit
While it's possible to manually apply these corrections using `tidy` when adding tests it is easy to forget this step and may be preferable to to use `pre-commit` to automatically check/apply these changes during normal workflow of developing and adding tests to openQA.
With `pre-commit` setup in your local clone you are able to do this easily for any new tests added to the repository.
For example...
```
$ cp main.pm foo.pm
$ git add foo.pm
$ pre-commit run
trim trailing whitespace.................................................Passed
fix end of files.........................................................Passed
check json...........................................(no files to check)Skipped
check yaml...........................................(no files to check)Skipped
check for added large files..............................................Passed
perltidy.................................................................Failed
- hook id: perltidy
- files were modified by this hook
```
...the issues are detected and automatically corrected...

## Automatic application of check/modify with git pre-commit hook
By adding the perltidy hook to the `pre-commit` configuration the hook is automatically run when trying to commit Perl code. If problems are found they are fixed and the the commit is rejected allowing you an opportunity to investigate before continuing.

## Automatically tidying all existing code
`perltidy` and `tidy` can check specific files and the `pre-commit` hook can check any new files added to the repository in new commits.
How do we repair all of the existing code in the repository so that it matches upstream?
For that we can use `tidyall` for everything in the hierarchy of our openQA repository. For example...
```
$ tidyall --check-only -a
[checked] main.pm
*** needs tidying
[checked] tests/server_cockpit_default.pm
*** needs tidying
[checked] tests/disk_guided_delete_partial_postinstall.pm
*** needs tidying
...<snip>...
[checked] lib/utils.pm
*** needs tidying
[checked] lib/anacondatest.pm
*** needs tidying
```
```
$ tidyall -a
[tidied] main.pm
[tidied] tests/server_cockpit_default.pm
[tidied] tests/disk_guided_delete_partial_postinstall.pm
