It aims at enabling people with little development skills to serve their own data, to be used with a LDP application.

Testing

Packaged with DjangoLDP is a tests module, containing unit tests

You can extend these tests and add your own test cases by following the examples in the code. You can then run your tests with: python -m unittest djangoldp.tests.runner

Check your datas integrity

Because of the way the DjangoLDP's federation work, you can reach some integrity issue within your datas.

You can check them with:

./manage.py check_integrity

You can ignore some servers:

./manage.py check_integrity --ignore "https://server/,https://another-server/"

Add you own commands to the check_integrity from your own package

Create a check_integrity.py file within your app folder containing:

def add_arguments(parser):
  parser.add_argument(
    "--my-own-argument",
    default=False,
    nargs="?",
    const=True,
    help="Some help text",
  )

def check_integrity(options):
  if(options["my_own_argument"]):
    print("You ran a check_integrity with --my-own-argument!")
  else:
    print("Run me with `./manage.py check_integrity --my-own-argument`")

You can see a sample on the check_integrity.py file of DjangoLDP.
