# Dependency Management

The `requirements.txt` file is generated from `requirements.in` and `requirements_git.txt`, using `pip-tools` and `pip-compile`.

## How To Use

Commands should be run in the awx container from inside the `./requirements` directory of the awx repository.

### Upgrading or Adding Select Libraries

If you need to add or upgrade one targeted library, then modify `requirements.in`,
then run the script:

`./updater.sh run`

#### Upgrading Unpinned Dependency

If you require a new version of a dependency that does not have a pinned version
for a fix or feature, pin a minimum version in `requirements.in` and run `./updater.sh run`. For example,
replace the line `asgi-amqp` with `asgi-amqp>=1.1.4`, and consider leaving a
note.

Then next time that a general upgrade is performed, the minimum version specifiers
can be removed, because `*.txt` files are upgraded to latest.

### Upgrading Dependencies

You can upgrade (`pip-compile --upgrade`) the dependencies by running

`./updater.sh upgrade`.

## Licenses and Source Files

If any library has a change to its license with the upgrade, then the license for that library
inside of `licenses` needs to be updated.

For libraries that have source distribution requirements (LGPL as an example),
a tarball of the library is kept along with the license.
To download the PyPI tarball, you can run this command:

```
pip download <pypi library name> -d licenses/ --no-binary :all: --no-deps
```

Make sure to delete the old tarball if it is an upgrade.

## UPGRADE BLOCKERs

Anything pinned in `*.in` files involves additional manual work in
order to upgrade. Some information related to that work is outlined here.

### pip, setuptools and setuptools_scm, wheel, cython

If modifying these libraries make sure testing with the offline build is performed to confirm 
they are functionally working. Versions need to match the versions used in the pip bootstrapping
 step in the top-level Makefile.

Verify ansible-runner's build dependency doesn't conflict with the changes made.

### OPA-python-client
OPA-python-client v2.0.3+ requires urllib3 v2.5.0+ but has other compatibility issues that need investigation.

## djangorestframework
Upgrading to 3.16.1 introduced errors on the tests around CredentialInputSource. We have several
fields on that model set to default=null but in the serializer they're set to required: true which causes
a conflict.
