Contributing

Bug reports, feature suggestions and other contributions are greatly appreciated! While I can't promise to implement everything, I will always try to respond in a timely manner.

Short version

  • Submit bug reports and feature requests at GitHub
  • Make pull requests to the develop branch

Bug reports

When reporting a bug please include:

  • Your operating system name and version
  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting
  • Detailed steps to reproduce the bug

Feature requests and feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at GitHub.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that code contributions are welcome :)

Development

To set up apexpy for local development:

  1. Fork apexpy on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/apexpy.git

  3. Create a branch for local development:

    git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally. Add tests for bugs and new features in the relevant test file in the tests directory. The tests are run with py.test and can be written as normal functions (starting with test_) containing a standard assert statement for testing output.

  4. When you're done making changes, run py.test locally if you can:

    py.test

  5. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    git add .
git commit -m "Brief description of your changes"
git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  6. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website. Pull requests should be made to the develop branch. The continuous integration (CI) testing servers will automatically test the whole codebase, including your changes, for multiple versions of Python on both Windows and Linux.

Pull Request Guidelines

If you need some code review or feedback while you're developing the code, just make a pull request.

For merging, you should:

  1. Include passing tests for your changes
  2. Update/add documentation if relevant
  3. Add a note to CHANGELOG.rst about the changes
  4. Add yourself to AUTHORS.rst
