# devx — Reusable Development & CI/CD Tools
A Python package providing reusable development and CI/CD automation tools for
oblachno-oss projects. devx consolidates release management, PR automation,
wiki sync, badge generation, translation checks, documentation coverage,
parallel test distribution, and more into a single installable package.
It was extracted from the [GRM](https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/grm)
project to be reusable across all oblachno-oss repositories. Any project hosted
on a Gitea instance with Gitea Actions can install devx and inherit a complete,
opinionated CI/CD pipeline: conventional commits, automated versioning via
git-cliff, squash-merge automation, Vikunja task tracking, wiki sync, and
quality badges.
> An open source project from **Oblachno** (облачно means *cloudy* in Bulgarian).

## Why devx?
Every oblachno-oss project shares the same CI/CD needs: automated releases,
PR review, task tracking, documentation sync, and quality badges. Without a
shared package, each repository duplicates this logic in shell scripts and
workflow YAML, leading to drift, bugs, and maintenance burden.
devx solves this by providing a single, tested Python package that any
oblachno-oss project can install. The project declares its configuration via
environment variables and `pyproject.toml`, and devx handles the rest. Updates
to the CI/CD pipeline ship as new devx releases — consumer projects pick them
up by bumping their devx dependency.
### Key features
- **Automated releases** — git-cliff-driven semver versioning, changelog
generation, tagging, and publishing to a Gitea PyPI registry.
- **PR automation** — squash-merge with task ID validation, automated PR
review with inline comments, and conventional commit enforcement.
- **Smart change classification** — user-facing vs workflow-only change
detection so infrastructure-only changes skip releases.
- **Documentation sync** — push `docs/` markdown to the Gitea wiki with
integrity verification.
- **Quality badges** — generate self-contained SVG badges for coverage,
tests, docs, quality, version, and Python version.
- **Translation checks** — validate i18n keys against source code, detect
dead keys and missing languages.
- **Parallel test distribution** — split test files or molecule scenarios
across CI runners with cross-runner fail-fast.
- **Developer tools** — environment setup, CI tool installation, test speed
enforcement, repository configuration.
- **i18n** — built-in translations for English, Bulgarian, German, Russian,
Chinese, and Polish; projects can extend with their own keys.
## Installation
devx is published to the Gitea PyPI registry at
`https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/packages/oblachno-oss/pypi/simple`.
The registry is publicly readable — no authentication required to install.
### Quick install (one-off)
```bash
pip install devx --index-url https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/packages/oblachno-oss/pypi/simple
```
### Persistent configuration (recommended)
Add the registry to `~/.pip/pip.conf` so `pip install devx` works without
specifying `--index-url` every time:
```ini
[global]
extra-index-url = https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/packages/oblachno-oss/pypi/simple
```
### As a dependency in another project
To use devx as a dependency in your `pyproject.toml`, add the registry as an
extra index and list devx in your dependencies:
```toml
[project]
dependencies = [
"devx>=0.49.0",
]
[tool.pip]
extra-index-url = "https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/packages/oblachno-oss/pypi/simple"
```
Then install normally:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
> **Note:** If your project requires a specific devx version, pin it in
> `dependencies` (for example, `"devx==0.49.0"`) or use a version constraint
> (for example, `"devx>=0.49.0,<0.50"`).
### Optional extras
devx ships optional dependency groups for different use cases:
```bash
pip install "devx[ci,lint]" # CI runners and linting (pytest, ruff, pyright, bandit, build, twine)
pip install "devx[molecule]" # Molecule testing for Ansible projects
pip install "devx[dev]" # Full local development (ci + lint + build + twine)
```
## Quick start
After installing devx, set the required environment variables (see
[Configuration](#configuration)) and invoke modules via `python -m devx.*` or
the `devx` CLI.
### CI/CD automation
CI/CD modules are invoked via `python -m devx.ci.*`. Each module is also
available as a `devx ci <command>` subcommand.
```bash
# Release automation (versioning, changelog, tagging)
python -m devx.ci.release
python -m devx.ci.release --dry-run # preview without changes
python -m devx.ci.release --verify # check tag/version/changelog alignment

--runner-index 1 --max-runners 3 --github-env
# Run pytest with cross-runner fail-fast
python -m devx.ci.integration_guard -- test_a.py test_b.py
```
### Developer tools
Developer tooling modules are invoked via `python -m devx.tools.*` or the
`devx tools <command>` subcommand.
```bash
# Set up a development environment (venv, deps, hooks, tea login)
python -m devx.tools.setup --bin .venv/bin
python -m devx.tools.setup --bin .venv/bin --extras "ci,lint" --no-pre-commit
# Install CI tools (actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner, tea)
python -m devx.tools.install_tools
python -m devx.tools.install_tools --tool git-cliff --tool tea
python -m devx.tools.install_tools --list
# Install checkmake (Makefile linter)
python -m devx.tools.install_checkmake
# Check unit test speed
python -m devx.tools.check_test_speed --max-seconds 10
python -m devx.tools.check_test_speed --max-seconds 4 --max-single-seconds 0.5
# Configure repository (branch protection, labels)
python -m devx.tools.configure_repo --repo devx --owner oblachno-oss
# Generate badge SVG files locally
python -m devx.tools.generate_badges --output-dir .badges/
# Generate a cliff.toml with the correct task ID prefix
python -m devx.tools.generate_cliff_config --prefix GRM
python -m devx.tools.generate_cliff_config --prefix GRM --force # overwrite existing
```
### Molecule testing (optional)
For projects with Ansible roles, devx provides molecule testing helpers via
`python -m devx.molecule.*` or `devx molecule <command>`.
```bash
# Distribute molecule scenarios across parallel runners
python -m devx.molecule.distribute_molecule --runner-index 1 --max-runners 3
python -m devx.molecule.distribute_molecule --list # list all scenarios
python -m devx.molecule.distribute_molecule --list-platforms # list platforms
# Run all molecule scenarios locally (sequential)
python -m devx.molecule.molecule_all
python -m devx.molecule.molecule_all --bin .venv/bin
# Discover available Gitea Actions runners for molecule tests
python -m devx.molecule.discover_runners --indices
# Ensure Docker is available for molecule tests in CI
python -m devx.molecule.start_docker
```
### OpenTofu helpers
devx provides reusable functions for extracting values from `tofu output`:
```python
from devx.opentofu import get_tofu_output, get_tofu_vm_ip, get_tofu_vm_field
vms = get_tofu_output("customer_vms", cwd="tofu/environments/staging",
env={"HCLOUD_TOKEN": token})
ip = get_tofu_vm_ip("customer_vms", "oblachno", cwd="tofu/environments/staging",
env={"HCLOUD_TOKEN": token})
```

| `PYPI_TOKEN` | — | Standard PyPI token (takes precedence over Gitea registry) |
#### CI_GITEA_TOKEN scopes
The `CI_GITEA_TOKEN` is a single Gitea Personal Access Token used across all
workflows. It requires these scopes:
| Scope | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `read:repository` | Read repos, PRs, issues, branches |
| `write:repository` | Push commits, merge PRs, create tags/releases, create issues, set branch protection, push wiki |
| `read:package` | Pull packages from Gitea PyPI registry, pull Docker images |
| `write:package` | Publish packages to Gitea PyPI registry, push Docker images |
| `read:organization` | Query org-level runners for molecule test distribution |
### Per-project overrides
Projects using devx can override the default API URLs and language by setting
`DEVX_*` environment variables or entries in their `.env` file. Copy
`.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your tokens:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
### Change classification
Projects configure which file paths are infrastructure (no release needed) vs
user-facing (release needed) in `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[tool.devx.classify]
# Merge with DEFAULT_INFRASTRUCTURE (CI workflows, tests, docs, config)
# use_defaults = true # (default)
# Project-specific infrastructure paths (merged with defaults)
infrastructure = []
# Files that would default to user-facing but are actually infrastructure
infrastructure_overrides = [
"src/myproject/__init__.py", # example only — only contains __version__
]
# Safety override for broad infrastructure patterns
user_facing_overrides = []
# Tag patterns for CI conditional execution (orthogonal to release impact)
[tool.devx.classify.tags]
# ansible = ["ansible/**"]
```
## Development
```bash
git clone https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git
cd devx
make setup # Create venv, install deps, hooks, CI tools
make lint-all # ruff + pyright + bandit + actionlint
make pytest-cov # Unit tests with 100% coverage
make test-unit # Unit tests without coverage
make workflow-check # Static + dry-run validation of workflow YAML
make clean # Remove caches, build artifacts, coverage data
```
`make setup` automatically installs all development tools:
- **Python deps** via `python -m devx.tools.setup` (pip install -e .[dev], pre-commit hooks)
- **actionlint, git-cliff, act_runner, tea** via `python -m devx.tools.install_tools`
- **tea CLI login** via `python -m devx.tools.setup` (configures `tea login` from `.env`)
### Make targets

## Architecture overview
devx is a self-contained Python package under `src/devx/`. It never imports
from scripts outside the package. All tools are invoked via
`python -m devx.ci.*`, `python -m devx.tools.*`, or `python -m devx.molecule.*`.
```text
src/devx/
├── __init__.py # Version (single source of truth, read by setuptools)
├── cli.py # Click-based CLI entry point (devx command)
├── config.py # Configuration system (DEVX_ env vars, .env loading)
├── api_clients.py # GiteaClient, VikunjaClient — HTTP API wrappers
├── gitea_cli.py # TeaCLI — wrapper around tea CLI with JSON parsing
├── i18n.py # Translation system (gettext-based, translations.json)
├── exceptions.py # Custom exception types (DevxError, APIError)
├── opentofu.py # OpenTofu output helpers

```
### Design principles
- **Self-contained package** — `src/devx/` never imports from scripts outside the package
- **Module-based invocation** — All tools invoked via `python -m devx.ci.*` or `python -m devx.tools.*`
- **PYTHONPATH: src** — Workflows set `PYTHONPATH: src` (not `.:src` since there are no scripts at repo root)
- **Config via env vars** — `DEVX_*` environment variables with `.env` file fallback
- **100% test coverage** — enforced by `--cov-fail-under=100`
- **i18n by default** — all user-facing strings wrapped in `_()` for translation
