So I am trying to develop collective.easyform, so its an add-on already developed and present there but I need to develop it further So I create a new plone instance and did few changes to make a developing enviornment for collective.easyform, then I cloned collective.easyform into my src/ module and here are my develop.cfg files http://pastebin.com/aFR4WdcS and buildout.cfg http://pastebin.com/9yXsGMjM and I ran bin/buildout -c develop.cfg
Then I got the test script in my bin module and all going well but when I ran bin/test --all then it showed me an error like this '''ImportError: No module named robotframework.testing'''
I am not able to detect where I am missing as I have already added robotframework as egg under [robot]
any idea ?
The test executable is generated by the [test] part which is defined in your develop.cfg, in this part you should add ${buildout:test-packages} in your eggs= param, and in the [test-packages] section you should mention collective.easyform [robot] and not just collective.easyform (or maybe you need collective.easyform [robot,test], it depends on what you have in your setup.py, any extra deps related to test should be mentionned here).
Thanks also I have created this plone instance using unified installer so I don't have any setup.py file. So should I create the enviornment differently and why don't I get setup.py file through unified installer ?
Okay. I got it. Also in my test-packages when i write collective.easyform[test,robot] it is howing error like this ```An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a

So I need to specify some version of collective.easyform ? And also what is the difference between collective.easyform and collective.easyform[robot,test] under test-packages ?
The difference between collective.easyform and collective.easyform[something] is that in the first case, buildout will just install the dependencies listed in the install_requires section of your setup.py, and in the second case, it will install also the dependencies listed in the something entry from the extra_require section.
Please note that collective.easyform comes with a development and testing buildout.cfg already. So instead of configuring a separate development buildout that contains collective.easyform, you can also just checkout the package somewhere and run the buildout it contains. That way, your development environment is also identical with the Travis integration tests so it will be easier to debig and fix any errors reported by Travis.
Run bootstrap.py -c buildout.cfg through virtualenv.
Then run python setup.py install through virtualenv.
It is showing me error for version conflicts. Am I doing it the right way ? I have not got any test script under my bin folder.
Other way I did was create a new plone instance, In src module cloned the esyform. Add the eggs and modify the buildouts accoringly. It worked properly and I even got the test script under my bin folder.
But as you said that creating the whole package through easyform buildout will be a better way so I tried it and I am stuck in there so can you guide me for the same ?
