**Bitmask** is the client for the services offered by `the LEAP Platform`_. It
contains a command-line interface and a multiplatform desktop client. It can be
also used as a set of libraries to communicate with the different services from
third party applications.

It is written in python using `Twisted`_  and licensed under the `GPL3`_. The
Graphical User Interface is written in html+js and uses `PyQt5`_ for serving
the application.

Package under development!
-----------------------------------------------------------

The previous client using PySide has been deprecated (Bitmask version 0.9.2,
still available at the http://github.com/leapcode/bitmask_client repo).


Read the Docs!
-----------------------------------------------------------

There is documentation about Bitmask `for users`_ and `for developers`_.

.. _`for users`: https://leap.se/en/docs/client
.. _`for developers`: https://bitmask.rtfd.io

Bugs
===========================================================

Please report any bugs `in our bug tracker`_.

Logs
----

If you want to watch the logs, from the command line::

  bitmaskctl logs watch

The paste command can be handy to do bug reports (needs ``pastebinit`` installed
in the system)::

  bitmaskctl logs send

but do not upload anything that you do not want to make public ;)


Development
===========================================================

Running Tests
-----------------------------------------------------------

You need tox to run the tests. If you don't have it in your system yet::

  pip install tox

And then run all the python tests::

  tox

There are some minimal end-to-end tests::

  make test_e2e

For testing the UI (aka ``bitmask-js``) you need to have ``mocha``
installed. You can run ui tests like this::

  cd ui && make test

More info abou testing can be found in the ``docs/hacking/testing`` document.


Hacking
-----------------------------------------------------------

In order to run bitmask in a development environment, you must activate a 
`virtualenv`_ and install the various leap-related python packages using ``pip
install -e``. This installs them as links to the source code, so
that your code changes are immediately reflected in the packages imported from
within the virtualenv.

The various ``make dev-*`` commands will run the appropriate ``pip install``
commands for you.

If you want to setup your whole development environment in a single step, and
you are running a debian-based system, you can use::

  make dev-bootstrap

That should install all the system dependencies, create a virtualenv for you,
and drop you in a shell inside that virtualenv. In the future, you can enter this
`virtualenv`_ again by using `pew`_::

  pew workon bitmask

To upgrade regularly the python dependencies installed inside your virtualenv,
you can run::

  make upgrade-all

inside your virtualenv, and it will install any new version of your
dependencies that is found in `pypi`_.

Check out the ``docs/hacking`` page for more extense instructions `to get
you started`_.
