App::Sqitch::Engine - Sqitch Deployment Engine

Synopsis

  my $engine = App::Sqitch::Engine->new( sqitch => $sqitch );

Description

App::Sqitch::Engine provides the base class for all Sqitch storage engines. Most likely this will not be of much interest to you unless you are hacking on the engine code.

Interface

Class Methods

`config_vars`

  my %vars = App::Sqitch::Engine->config_vars;

Returns a hash of names and types to use for configuration variables for the engine. These can be set under the core.$engine_name section in any configuration file.

The keys in the returned hash are the names of the variables. The values are the data types. Valid data types include:

any
int
num
bool
bool-or-int

Values ending in + (a plus sign) may be specified multiple times. Example:

  (
      client  => 'any',
      db_name => 'any',
      host    => 'any',
      port    => 'int',
      set     => 'any+',
  )

In this example, the port variable will be stored and retrieved as an integer. The set variable may be of any type and may be included multiple times. All the other variables may be of any type.

By default, App::Sqitch::Engine returns an empty list. Subclasses for supported engines will return more.

Constructors

`load`

  my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Engine->load(%params);

A factory method for instantiating Sqitch engines. It loads the subclass for the specified engine and calls new, passing the Sqitch object. Supported parameters are:

sqitch: The App::Sqitch object driving the whole thing.

`new`

  my $engine = App::Sqitch::Engine->new(%params);

Instantiates and returns a App::Sqitch::Engine object.

Instance Methods

`name`

  my $name = $engine->name;

The name of the engine. Defaults to the last part of the package name, so as a rule you should not need to override it, since it is that string that Sqitch uses to find the engine class.

`destination`

  my $destination = $engine->destination;

Returns the name of the destination database. This will usually be the same as the configured database name or the value of the --db-name option. Hover, subclasses may override it to provide other values, such as when neither of the above have values but there is nevertheless a default value assumed by the engine. Used internally to name the destination in status messages.

`deploy`

  $engine->deploy($to_target);
  $engine->deploy($to_target, $mode);

Deploys changes to the destination database, starting with the current deployment state, and continuing to $to_target. $to_target must be a valid target specification as passable to the index_of() method of App::Sqitch::Plan. If $to_target is not specified, all changes will be applied.

The second argument specifies the reversion mode in the case of deployment failure. The allowed values are:

all: In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes, back to the point at which deployment started. This is the default.
tag: In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes to the last successfully-applied tag. If no tags were applied during this deployment, all changes will be reverted to the pint at which deployment began.
change: In the event of failure, no changes will be reverted. This is on the assumption that a change failure is total, and the change may be applied again.

Note that, in the event of failure, if a reversion fails, the destination database may be left in a corrupted state. Write your revert scripts carefully!

`revert`

  $engine->revert($tag);

Reverts the App::Sqitch::Plan::Tag from the database, including all of its associated changes.

`deploy_change`

  $engine->deploy_change($change);

Used internally by deploy() to deploy an individual change.

`revert_change`

  $engine->revert_change($change);

Used internally by revert() (and, by deploy() when a deploy fails) to revert an individual change.

`is_deployed`

  say "Tag deployed"  if $engine->is_deployed($tag);
  say "Change deployed" if $engine->is_deployed($change);

Convenience method that dispatches to is_deployed_tag() or is_deployed_change() as appropriate to its argument.

`latest_change`

  my $change = $engine->latest_change;

Returns the App::Sqitch::Plan::Change object representing the most recently applied change.

Abstract Instance Methods

These methods must be overridden in subclasses.

`begin_work`

  $engine->begin_work;

This method is called just before a change is deployed or reverted. It should create a lock to prevent any other processes from making changes to the database, to be freed in finish_work.

`finish_work`

  $engine->finish_work;

This method is called after a change has been deployed or reverted. It should unlock the lock created by begin_work.

`initialized`

  $engine->initialize unless $engine->initialized;

Returns true if the database has been initialized for Sqitch, and false if it has not.

`initialize`

  $engine->initialize;

Initializes a database for Sqitch by installing the Sqitch metadata schema and/or tables. Should be overridden by subclasses. This implementation throws an exception

`is_deployed_tag`

  say "Tag deployed"  if $engine->is_deployed_tag($tag);

Should return true if the tag has been deployed to the database, and false if it has not.

`is_deployed_change`

  say "Change deployed"  if $engine->is_deployed_change($change);

Should return true if the change has been deployed to the database, and false if it has not.

`log_deploy_change`

  $engine->log_deploy_change($change);

Should write to the database metadata and history the records necessary to indicate that the change has been deployed.

`log_fail_change`

  $engine->log_fail_change($change);

Should write to the database event history a record reflecting that deployment of the change failed.

`log_revert_change`

  $engine->log_revert_change($change);

Should write to and/or remove from the database metadata and history the records necessary to indicate that the change has been reverted.

`check_requires`

  if ( my @requires = $engine->requires($change) ) {
      die "Change requires undeployed changes: @requires\n";
  }

Returns the names of any changes required by the specified change that are not currently deployed to the database. If none are returned, the requirements are presumed to be satisfied. The engine implementation should compare changes by their IDs.

`check_conflicts`

  if ( my @conflicts = $engine->conflicts($change) ) {
      die "Change conflicts with previously deployed changes: @conflicts\n";
  }

Returns the names of any currently-deployed changes that conflict with specified change. If none are returned, there are presumed to be no conflicts.

If any of the changes that conflict with the specified change have been deployed to the database, their names should be returned by this method. If no names are returned, it's because there are no conflicts. The engine implementation should compare changes by their IDs.

`latest_change_id`

  my $change_id = $engine->latest_change_id;

Returns the ID of the most recently applied change.

`deployed_change_ids`

  my @change_ids = $engine->deployed_change_ids;

Returns a list of all deployed change IDs in the order in which they were deployed.

`deployed_change_ids_since`

  my @change_ids = $engine->deployed_change_ids_since($change);

Returns a list of change IDs for changes deployed after the specified change.

`name_for_change_id`

  my $change_name = $engine->name_for_change_id($change_id);

Returns the name of the change identified by the ID argument. If a tag was applied to a change after that change, the name will be returned with the tag qualification, e.g., app_user@beta. This value should be suitable for uniquely identifying the change, and passing to the get or index_of methods of App::Sqitch::Plan.

`current_state`

  my $state = $engine->current_state;

Returns a hash reference representing the current state of the database, or undef if the database has no changes deployed. The hash contains information about the last successfully deployed change, as well as any associated tags. The keys to the hash should include:

change_id: The current change ID.
change: The current change name.
deployed_at: An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the change was deployed.
deployed_by: Name of the user who deployed the change.
tags: An array reference of the names of associated tags.

`current_changes`

  my $iter = $engine->current_changes;
  while (my $change = $iter->()) {
      say '* ', $change->{change};
  }

Returns a code reference that iterates over a list of the currently deployed changes in reverse chronological order. Each change is represented by a hash reference containing the following keys:

change_id: The change ID.
change: The name of the change.
deployed_at: An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the change was deployed.
deployed_by: Name of the user who deployed the change.

`current_tags`

  my $iter = $engine->current_tags;
  while (my $tag = $iter->()) {
      say '* ', $tag->{tag};
  }

Returns a code reference that iterates over a list of the currently deployed tags in reverse chronological order. Each tag is represented by a hash reference containing the following keys:

tag_id: The tag ID.
tag: The name of the tag.
applied_at: An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the tag was applied.
applied_by: Name of the user who) or applied the tag.

`search_events`

  my $iter = $engine->search_events( %params );
  while (my $change = $iter->()) {
      say '* $change->{event}ed $change->{change}";
  }

Searches the deployment event log and returns an iterator code reference with the results. If no parameters are provided, a list of all events will be returned from the iterator reverse chronological order. The supported parameters are:

event: An array of the type of event to search for. Allowed values are "deploy", "revert", and "fail".
change: Limit the events to those with changes matching the specified regular expression.
actor: Limit the events to those logged by the actors (users) with names matching the specified regular expression.
limit: Limit the number of events to the specified number.
offset: Skip the specified number of events.
direction: Return the results in the specified order, which must be a value matching /^(:?a|de)sc/i for "ascending" or "descending".

Each event is represented by a hash reference containing the following keys:

event

The type of event, which is one of:

deploy
revert
fail

change_id

The change ID.

change

The name of the change.

deployed_at

An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the event was logged.

deployed_by

Name of the user for whom the event was logged.

`run_file`

  $engine->run_file($file);

Should execute the commands in the specified file. This will generally be an SQL file to run through the engine's native client.

`run_handle`

  $engine->run_handle($file_handle);

Should execute the commands in the specified file handle. The file handle's contents should be piped to the engine's native client.
