Contributing to this project should be as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:
- Reporting a bug
- Discussing the current state of the code
- Submitting a fix
- Proposing new features
Github is used to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase.
- Fork the repo and create your branch from
main
. - If you've changed something, update the documentation.
- Make sure your code lints (using black).
- Test you contribution.
- Issue that pull request!
In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.
Report bugs using Github's issues
GitHub issues are used to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!
Great Bug Reports tend to have:
- A quick summary and/or background
- Steps to reproduce
- Be specific!
- Give sample code if you can.
- What you expected would happen
- What actually happens
- Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)
People love thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.
Use black to make sure the code follows the style. The repository includes a settings.json
for Visual Studio Code to enforce this.
Testing and configuration is based on Poetry and is used for all package management and testing.
You should also verify that existing tests are still working and you are encouraged to add new ones. You are also encouraged to add tests that at least maintain the current level of code coverage. You can run the tests using the following commands from the root folder:
poetry run pytest
A coverage report is automatically generated by the project's pyproject.toml
and you can optionally generate an HTML report for more detailed analysis by adding --cov-report=html
to the command line above.
When debugging with Visual Studio Code, you will need to ensure that the following is included in your launch configuration as pytest-cov
cannot be debugged. The repository includes a launch.json
that includes this.
"env": {"PYTEST_ADDOPTS": "--no-cov"},
