"""
High-level API for the Nitrate test case management system.

This module provides a high-level python interface for the nitrate
module. Handles connection to the server automatically, allows to set
custom level of logging and data caching. Supports results coloring.


Config file
~~~~~~~~~~~

To be able to contact the Nitrate server a minimal user configuration
file ~/.nitrate has to be provided in the user home directory:

    [nitrate]
    url = https://nitrate.server/xmlrpc/

Logging
~~~~~~~

Standard log methods from the python 'logging' module are available
under the short name 'log', for example:

    log.debug(message)
    log.info(message)
    log.warn(message)
    log.error(message)

By default, messages of level WARN and up are only displayed. This can
be controlled by setting the current log level. See setLogLevel() for
more details. In addition, you can easily display info messages using:

    info(message)

which prints provided message (to the standard error output) always,
regardless the current log level.


Search support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Multiple Nitrate classes provide the static method 'search' which takes
the search query in the Django QuerySet format which gives an easy
access to the foreign keys and basic search operators. For example:

    Product.search(name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6")
    TestPlan.search(name__contains="python")
    TestRun.search(manager__email='login@example.com'):
    TestCase.search(script__startswith='/CoreOS/python')

For the complete list of available operators see Django documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#field-lookups


Test suite
~~~~~~~~~~~

For running the unit test suite additional sections are required in the
configuration file. These contain the url of the test server and the
data of existing objects to be tested, for example:

    [test]
    url = https://test.server/xmlrpc/

    [product]
    id = 60
    name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

    [component]
    id = 123
    name = wget
    product = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

    [testplan]
    id = 1234
    name = Test plan
    type = Function
    product = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
    version = 6.1
    status = ENABLED

    [testrun]
    id = 6757
    summary = Test Run Summary

    [testcase]
    id = 1234
    summary = Test case summary
    category = Sanity

To exercise the whole test suite just run "python nitrate.py". To test
only subset of tests pick the desired classes on the command line:

    python -m nitrate.api TestCase
