This project uses nox for testing, which relies on a separate
config. Having two files specify the same things in different
formats is a recipe for future divergence.

Move the flake8 config section to a dedicated .flake8 file instead.

Update contributing instructions accordingly, and switch one
remaining tox-based job over to its nox equivalent.

Contribution Overview

OpenDev's tools are hosted within the OpenDev collaboratory, and development for them uses workflows described in the OpenDev Infrastructure Manual:

http://docs.opendev.org/opendev/manual/developers.html

Defect reporting and task tracking takes place here:

Developing bindep

Either install bindep and run bindep test to check you have the needed tools, or review bindep.txt by hand.

Running Tests

The testing system is based on a combination of nox and testr. The canonical approach to running tests is to simply run the command nox. This will create virtual environments, populate them with dependencies and run all of the tests that OpenStack CI systems run. Behind the scenes, nox is running testr run --parallel, but is set up such that you can supply any additional testr arguments that are needed to nox. For example, you can run: nox -- --analyze-isolation to cause nox to tell testr to add --analyze-isolation to its argument list.

It is also possible to run the tests inside of a virtual environment you have created, or it is possible that you have all of the dependencies installed locally already. If you'd like to go this route, the requirements are listed in requirements.txt and the requirements for testing are in test-requirements.txt. Installing them via pip, for instance, is simply:

pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt

In you go this route, you can interact with the testr command directly. Running testr run will run the entire test suite. testr run --parallel will run it in parallel (this is the default incantation nox uses.)
