Neutron Style Commandments
=======================

- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments

- Step 2: Read on

Neutron Specific Commandments
--------------------------

- [N320] Validate that LOG messages, except debug ones, have translations
- [N321] Validate that jsonutils module is used instead of json
- [N322] We do not use @authors tags in source files. We have git to track
  authorship.
- [N323] Enforce oslo.* namespace imports for oslo libraries

Creating Unit Tests
-------------------
For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and
(implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a
bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a
submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails
without the patch and passes with the patch.

All unittest classes must ultimately inherit from testtools.TestCase. In the
Neutron test suite, this should be done by inheriting from
neutron.tests.base.BaseTestCase.

All setUp and tearDown methods must upcall using the super() method.
tearDown methods should be avoided and addCleanup calls should be preferred.
Never manually create tempfiles. Always use the tempfile fixtures from
the fixture library to ensure that they are cleaned up.
