Proposed change

Resolves #2651

Add PEP 257–compliant docstrings to admin methods across Django admin classes in backend/apps/*/admin/*.py. This improves code documentation, readability, and onboarding for maintainers and contributors.

Changes made:

GitHub admin:

  • backend/apps/github/admin/issue.py: Added docstrings to custom_field_github_url(), custom_field_title(), get_search_results()
  • backend/apps/github/admin/pull_request.py: Added docstrings to custom_field_github_url(), get_search_results()
  • backend/apps/github/admin/repository.py: Verified existing docstrings comply with PEP 257

OWASP admin:

  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity.py: Added docstrings to custom_field_github_url(), get_queryset()
  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_member.py: Added docstrings to entity(), owasp_url(), get_search_results(), approve_members()
  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/member.py: Added docstrings to custom_field_github_url(), approve_suggested_users()
  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/mixins.py: Added docstrings to ReadOnlyFieldsMixin.get_readonly_fields(), ApprovalMixin.approve_selected()
  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/project.py: Added docstrings to custom_field_github_url(), get_queryset()
  • backend/apps/owasp/admin/project_health_metrics.py: Added docstrings to get_queryset()

Slack admin:

  • backend/apps/slack/admin/workspace.py: Added docstrings to get_queryset()

All docstrings follow PEP 257 style with:

  • Summary on the same line as opening quotes (D212)
  • Blank line before closing quotes for multi-line docstrings (D413)
  • Descriptive WHAT/WHY focus, no implementation details
  • Args/Returns sections only where meaningful

Checklist

  • I've read and followed the contributing guidelines.
  • I've run make check-test locally; all checks and tests passed.

    • Minor internal improvements to member and channel data handling in admin views.

✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review settings.

Walkthrough

Docstrings were expanded across multiple admin modules; most edits are documentation-only. One behavioral change: EntityChannelAdmin.get_form now explicitly returns the form object.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
OWASP — Entity Channel
backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_channel.py
Expanded docstrings for admin methods (e.g., mark_as_reviewed, channel_search_display, get_form). get_form now explicitly returns the form object after delegating to the superclass.
OWASP — Member & Profiles
backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_member.py, backend/apps/owasp/admin/member_profile.py, backend/apps/owasp/admin/member_snapshot.py
Expanded docstrings for methods like approve_members, entity, owasp_url, and get_queryset. In entity_member.py link rendering now uses a reverse-admin URL for the related entity. Functional logic largely unchanged.
OWASP — Mixins & Project
backend/apps/owasp/admin/mixins.py, backend/apps/owasp/admin/project.py, backend/apps/owasp/admin/project_health_metrics.py
Expanded and clarified docstrings for mixin helpers and admin display methods (e.g., get_base_list_display, _format_github_link, custom_field_name, project). No signature or behavioral changes except documentation adjustments.
Slack — Admin
backend/apps/slack/admin/member.py
Added/expanded docstring for approve_suggested_users. No functional changes.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

  • Review focus:
    • backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_channel.py: confirm explicit return form is correct and has no unintended side effects.
    • backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_member.py: verify admin reverse URL construction for the entity link renders as expected.

Timestamp: 2025-11-23T11:37:26.253Z
Learning: In the OWASP Nest backend, `entity_leaders` is a `property` method defined in `RepositoryBasedEntityModel` (backend/apps/owasp/models/common.py) that returns a dynamically constructed QuerySet. It cannot be prefetched using standard `prefetch_related()` because Django's prefetch mechanism only works on model fields and relations, not property methods.

Timestamp: 2025-09-06T19:28:14.297Z
Learning: In the OWASP/Nest project, when migrating scraper logic to GitHub .md file parsing, the sync_leaders method uses member_name as the primary identifier for finding and updating existing EntityMember records, not member_email. This approach is chosen because names are more stable identifiers in markdown files, while emails might be added/updated over time.

31-33: Docstring accurately documents fallback behavior

The updated docstring clearly reflects the project method’s behavior and follows the stated docstring conventions. No changes needed.

backend/apps/slack/admin/member.py (1)

26-33: Nice, clear admin action docstring

The new docstring concisely explains what the action does and documents request and queryset clearly while matching existing behavior. Looks good.

backend/apps/owasp/admin/project.py (1)

56-58: Docstring matches list display behavior

The updated docstring accurately describes the custom_field_name fallback to name or key and follows the project’s docstring style. No changes required.

backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_channel.py (3)

10-23: Action docstring clearly explains mark_as_reviewed

The new docstring for mark_as_reviewed nicely documents what the action does and the meaning of each parameter without leaking implementation details. Looks good.


71-80: channel_search_display docstring matches behavior

The docstring succinctly captures that this returns a human-friendly channel name (or a fallback) for display, which aligns with the method logic. No changes needed.


84-99: get_form documentation is precise and helpful

The expanded docstring for get_form clearly describes the EntityChannel-specific customization and the returned form class, making this override easier to understand and maintain.

backend/apps/owasp/admin/entity_member.py (1)

45-51: EntityMember admin docstrings are clear and consistent

The new docstrings for approve_members, entity, owasp_url, and get_search_results clearly describe each method’s purpose and inputs/outputs while staying concise. They align with the existing behavior (including the DISTINCT flag in get_search_results) and improve the readability of this admin class.

Also applies to: 58-71, 73-80, 82-93

backend/apps/owasp/admin/mixins.py (6)

44-53: get_base_search_fields docstring and behavior are aligned

The new docstring clearly explains that additional field names are appended to search_field_names, and the implementation using tuple concatenation matches that description.


98-109: formfield_for_dbfield docstring improves inline admin clarity

The added docstring for formfield_for_dbfield documents the special handling for channel_id and channel_type fields, making the inline behavior around Conversation-only content types much easier to understand.


121-135: GenericEntityAdminMixin.get_queryset docstring matches prefetch logic

The docstring correctly states that the queryset is returned with repositories prefetched, which aligns with the prefetch_related("repositories") call and avoids attempting to prefetch non-relational properties (consistent with prior project learnings about entity_leaders). Based on learnings, this looks appropriate.


136-147: custom_field_github_urls docstring is accurate and concise

The docstring succinctly describes that this method returns formatted GitHub repository links for the entity, matching the HTML-link–generating implementation and its owasp_repository fallback.


149-156: custom_field_owasp_url docstring matches OWASP link behavior

The description of returning a formatted link to the entity’s OWASP site (or an empty string when no key is present) accurately reflects the implementation using escape and mark_safe.


158-178: _format_github_link documentation clearly captures edge cases

The new docstring thoroughly documents the expected repository argument and that an empty string is returned when required data is missing. This matches the defensive checks in the method and makes its behavior explicit.

backend/apps/owasp/admin/member_snapshot.py (1)

110-119: Clarify get_queryset docstring to reflect select_related

As with MemberProfileAdmin, the docstring mentions "prefetched relations" while the code uses select_related("github_user"). To avoid confusion between Django's select_related and prefetch_related, align the wording with the implementation.

Consider updating the docstring to say "eagerly loads the related GitHub user" and "Optimized queryset with github_user loaded via select_related" to keep behavior unchanged while making documentation precise.

backend/apps/owasp/admin/member_profile.py (1)

75-83: Align docstring wording with select_related behavior

The Returns section says "prefetched relations" while the implementation uses select_related("github_user"). In Django, select_related and prefetch_related are different mechanisms, so this wording can be misleading.

Suggest adjusting the docstring to match the actual behavior, for example:

-        """Return queryset with select_related github_user.
+        """Return queryset that eagerly loads the related GitHub user.
@@
-        Returns:
-            QuerySet: Optimized queryset with prefetched relations.
+        Returns:
+            QuerySet: Optimized queryset with github_user loaded via select_related.

This keeps the docstring concise while accurately reflecting how the relation is loaded.
