Arma Server Query

Query Arma 3 Servers for Players

Requires Python 3.11

Usage

Depends on what the code in there does.

Run the command

Install the module first:

make install
# or
poetry install

Then inside the virtual environment, launch the command:

# Run single command inside virtualenv
poetry run arma-server-query

# or
# Load the virtualenv first
poetry shell
# Then launch the command, staying in virtualenv
arma-server-query

Development

Python setup

This repository uses Python3.11, using Poetry as package manager to define a Python package inside src/arma_server_query/.

poetry will create virtual environments if needed, fetch dependencies, and install them for development.

For ease of development, a Makefile is provided, use it like this:

make  # equivalent to "make all" = install lint docs test build
# run only specific tasks:
make install
make lint
make test
# Combine tasks:
make install test

Once installed, the module's code can now be reached through running Python in Poetry:

$ poetry run python
>>> from arma_server_query import main
>>> main("blabla")

This codebase uses pre-commit to run linting tools like flake8. Use pre-commit install to install git pre-commit hooks to force running these checks before any code can be committed, use make lint to run these manually. Testing is provided by pytest separately in make test.

Documentation

Documentation is generated via Sphinx, using the cool myst_parser plugin to support Markdown files like this one.

Other Sphinx plugins provide extra documentation features, like the recent sphinx-autodoc2 to generate API reference without headaches, and with myst-markdown support in docstrings too!

To build the documentation, run

# Requires the project dependencies provided by "make install"
make docs
# Generates docs/build/html/

To browse the web version of the documentation you just built, run:

make docs-serve

And remember that make supports multiple targets, so you can generate the documentation and serve it:

make docs docs-serve
