==============================
 py-activiti (v.0.1 pre-alpha)
==============================

pyactiviti is a Python's library which wraps the famous Activiti BPMN2.0 Engine's API. 
Actually, pyactiviti is in early stage, so I think there will be tons of enhancements
in the near future.

Feel free to send your feedback about this project.

--------------
 Test the API
--------------

To test the Activiti REST API, you should have installed the servlet activiti-webapp-rest2.war 
in your favorite servlet's container, for example Tomcat.I also heavily recommand to use the SVN version 
of Activiti because some bugs were fixed there.

I use the wonderful Python's tool *nose* for testing. So, you have to have *nose* installed on your system. I am
providing a simple BPMN 2.0 diagram to challenge the API. You are free to use yours and report bugs.

First, add the *py-activiti* source directory to your PYTHONPATH, like this::

#:> export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:${py_activiti_dir}/py_activiti/src

Then, go to the *py-activiti* directory::

#:> cd ${py_activiti_dir}/py_activiti

and then, type the following command in order to begin to test the REST API::

#:> nosetests-2.7 ./tests

Et voilˆ!

Per default, the REST API client try to connect to the following address::

http://localhost:1234/activiti-webapp-rest2-5.9-SNAPSHOT/service/

You can update with your specific configuration, using the *ACTIVITI_SERVICES* environment variable, for example::

#:> export ACTIVITI_SERVICES = "http://localhost:8080/activiti-webapp-rest/service/"


Enjoy,
