Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up taika for local development.

Fork the taika repo on GitLab.

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@gitlab.com:your_name_here/taika.git

Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
```
$ mkvirtualenv taika -p python3.6
$ cd taika/
$ python setup.py develop
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pre-commit install
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, run tox:
```
$ tox
```

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitLab:

$ git add .
$ git commit
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Submit a merge request through the GitLab website.

Merge Request Guidelines¶

Before you submit a merge request, check that it meets these guidelines:

Tests musts be included.
Documentation (docstrings or pages) must be included.
Python 3.6 should be supported.
The code should be isort’ed and flake8’ed. Optionally pylint’ed.

After you submit a merge request, check regularly the merge request, as Continuous Integration is run for each of your commits and should pass in order to merge the request.

Tips and tricks with pytest¶

Run all the test environments.

$ tox

To run only one environment:

$ tox -e <testenv>

To run a test module:

$ pytest tests/test_module

To run a test function inside a module:

$ pytest tests/test_module.py::test_function
