### Reporting a bug
|
|
|
|
First check you're using the
|
|
[latest version](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/releases/) of toot and verify
|
|
the bug is present in this version.
|
|
|
|
Search [Github issues](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/issues) to check the bug
|
|
hasn't already been reported.
|
|
|
|
To report a bug open an
|
|
[issue on Github](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/issues) or send an
|
|
email to the [mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~ihabunek/toot-discuss).
|
|
|
|
* Run `toot env` and include its contents in the bug report.
|
|
* Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
|
|
* Please provide as much context as possible and describe the reproduction steps
|
|
that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own.
|
|
|
|
### Suggesting enhancements
|
|
|
|
This includes suggesting new features or changes to existing ones.
|
|
|
|
Search Github issues to check the enhancement has not already been requested. If
|
|
it hasn't, [open a new issue](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/issues).
|
|
|
|
Your request will be reviewed to see if it's a good fit for toot. Implementing
|
|
requested features depends on the available time and energy of the maintainer
|
|
and other contributors.
|
|
|
|
### Contributing code
|
|
|
|
When contributing to toot, please only submit code that you have authored or
|
|
code whose license allows it to be included in toot. You agree that the code
|
|
you submit will be published under the [toot license](LICENSE).
|
|
|
|
#### Setting up a dev environment
|
|
|
|
Check out toot (or a fork) and install it into a virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git@github.com:ihabunek/toot.git
|
|
cd toot
|
|
python3 -m venv _env
|
|
|
|
# On Linux/Mac
|
|
source _env/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# On Windows
|
|
_env\bin\activate.bat
|
|
|
|
pip install --editable .
|
|
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
|
|
pip install -r requirements-test.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While the virtual env is active, running `toot` will execute the one you checked
|
|
out. This allows you to make changes and test them.
|
|
|
|
#### Crafting good commits
|
|
|
|
Please put some effort into breaking your contribution up into a series of well
|
|
formed commits. If you're unsure what this means, there is a good guide
|
|
available at [https://cbea.ms/git-commit/](https://cbea.ms/git-commit/).
|
|
|
|
Rules for commits:
|
|
|
|
* each commit should ideally contain only one change
|
|
* don't bundle multiple unrelated changes into a single commit
|
|
* write descriptive and well formatted commit messages
|
|
|
|
Rules for commit messages:
|
|
|
|
* separate subject from body with a blank line
|
|
* limit the subject line to 50 characters
|
|
* capitalize the subject line
|
|
* do not end the subject line with a period
|
|
* use the imperative mood in the subject line
|
|
* wrap the body at 72 characters
|
|
* use the body to explain what and why vs. how
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed explanation with examples see the guide at
|
|
[https://cbea.ms/git-commit/](https://cbea.ms/git-commit/)
|
|
|
|
If you use vim to write your commit messages, it will already enforce some of
|
|
these rules for you.
|
|
|
|
#### Run tests before submitting
|
|
|
|
You can run code and sytle tests by running:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This runs three tools:
|
|
|
|
* `pytest` runs the test suite
|
|
* `flake8` checks code formatting
|
|
* `vermin` checks that minimum python version
|
|
|
|
Please ensure all three commands succeed before submitting your patches.
|
|
|
|
#### Submitting patches
|
|
|
|
To submit your code either open
|
|
[a pull request](https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/pulls) on Github, or send
|
|
patch(es) to [the mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~ihabunek/toot-discuss).
|
|
|
|
If sending to the mailing list, patches should be sent using `git send-email`.
|
|
If you're unsure how to do this, there is a good guide at
|
|
[https://git-send-email.io/](https://git-send-email.io/).
