<pre wrap="">Hi guys,
I'm having trouble following the logic for adding a new resource to the
API. Could someone outline the general steps you'd need to cover? </pre>

Steps are:<br>
1. update API.md -- it is for REST API user to read<br>
2. update controller, adding the corresponding collection and
resource to make it dispatch to the right model implementation.<br>
Also, the API.json will be updated( if applicable), to specify
the right parameter type and pattern of REST API<br>
3. add model.py and mockmodel.py for implementation, this layer
wraps libvirt call and the system lib<br>
4. testcases, for tricky function we add unit test, for model we add
test_model.py, for the controller logic and params checking, use
test_rest.py.<br>
5. when you add new file, update Makefile.am in its directory<br>
when you add new python-lib, update spec file and README<br>

the patches on the mailing list, it looks like all anyone ever does is
new items to API.md -- but I'm getting a 404 not found error so I am
obviously missing something important.</pre>

It is hard to say what causes this, maybe you can send an RFC to let
guys to help you,<br>
But a quick debug tip I usually use is:<br>
in src/kimchi/control/base.py you can see these:<br>
except NotFoundError, msg:<br>
raise cherrypy.HTTPError(404, "Not found: '%s'" %
msg)-->change it to <b>raise</b><br>
Instead of let cherrypy handle it, I will raise this NotFoundError
directly, this print the call stack and show me where exactly went
wrong.<br>
