0x01 Introduction

Team project to build a clone of AirBnB.

The console is a command interpreter to manage objects abstraction between objects and how they are stored.

To see the fundamental background of the project visit the Wiki.

The console will perform the following tasks:

• create a new object
• retrive an object from a file
• do operations on objects
• destroy an object

Storage

All the classes are handled by the Storage engine in the FileStorage Class.

0x02 Environment

• Style guidelines:
  • pycodestyle (version 2.7.*)
  • PEP8

All the development and testing was runned over an operating system Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using programming language Python 3.8.3. The editors used were VIM 8.1.2269, VSCode 1.6.1 and Atom 1.58.0 . Control version using Git 2.25.1.

Python Unit Tests

• unittest module
• File extension .py
• Files and folders star with test_
• Organization:for models/base.py, unit tests in: tests/test_models/test_base.py
• Execution command: python3 -m unittest discover tests
• or: python3 -m unittest tests/test_models/test_base.py

run test in interactive mode

echo "python3 -m unittest discover tests" | bash

run test in non-interactive mode
