4 4 Contributing to Kallithea
5 5 =========================
6 6
7 7 Kallithea is developed and maintained by its users. Please join us and scratch
8 8 your own itch.
9 9
10 10
11 11 Infrastructure
12 12 --------------
13 13
14 14 The main repository is hosted on Our Own Kallithea (aka OOK) at
15 15 https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/, our self-hosted instance
16 16 of Kallithea.
17 17
18 18 For now, we use Bitbucket_ for `pull requests`_ and `issue tracking`_. The
19 19 issue tracker is for tracking bugs, not for support, discussion, or ideas --
20 20 please use the `mailing list`_ or :ref:`IRC <readme>` to reach the community.
21 21
22 22 We use Weblate_ to translate the user interface messages into languages other
23 23 than English. Join our project on `Hosted Weblate`_ to help us.
24 24 To register, you can use your Bitbucket or GitHub account. See :ref:`translations`
25 25 for more details.

28 28 Getting started
29 29 ---------------
30 30
31 31 To get started with development::
32 32
33 33 hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea
34 34 cd kallithea
35 35 virtualenv ../kallithea-venv
36 36 source ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate
37 37 pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
38 38 pip install -e .
39 39 paster make-config Kallithea my.ini
40 40 paster setup-db my.ini --user=user --email=user@example.com --password=password --repos=/tmp
41 41 paster serve my.ini --reload &
42 42 firefox http://127.0.0.1:5000/
43 43
44 44 You can also start out by forking https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea
45 45 on Bitbucket_ and create a local clone of your own fork.
46 46
47 47
48 48 Running tests
49 49 -------------
50 50
51 51 After finishing your changes make sure all tests pass cleanly. Install the test
52 52 dependencies, then run the testsuite by invoking ``py.test`` from the
53 53 project root::
54 54
55 55 pip install -r dev_requirements.txt
56 56 py.test
57 57
58 58 Note that testing on Python 2.6 also requires ``unittest2``.
59 59
60 60 You can also use ``tox`` to run the tests with all supported Python versions
61 61 (currently Python 2.6--2.7).
62 62
63 63 When running tests, Kallithea uses `kallithea/tests/test.ini` and populates the
64 64 SQLite database specified there.
65 65
66 66 It is possible to avoid recreating the full test database on each invocation of
67 67 the tests, thus eliminating the initial delay. To achieve this, run the tests as::
68 68
69 69 paster serve kallithea/tests/test.ini --pid-file=test.pid --daemon
70 70 KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 py.test
71 71 kill -9 $(cat test.pid)
72 72
73 73 In these commands, the following variables are used::
74 74
75 75 KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 - skip whoosh index building and tests
76 76 KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 - disable new temp path for tests, used mostly for testing_vcs_operations
77 77
78 78 You can run individual tests by specifying their path as argument to py.test.
79 79 py.test also has many more options, see `py.test -h`. Some useful options
80 80 are::
81 81
82 82 -k EXPRESSION only run tests which match the given substring
83 83 expression. An expression is a python evaluable
84 84 expression where all names are substring-matched
85 85 against test names and their parent classes. Example:
86 86 -x, --exitfirst exit instantly on first error or failed test.
87 87 --lf rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or
88 88 all if none failed)
89 89 --ff run all tests but run the last failures first. This
90 90 may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture
91 91 setup/teardown
92 92 --pdb start the interactive Python debugger on errors.
93 93 -s, --capture=no don't capture stdout (any stdout output will be
94 94 printed immediately)

97 Coding/contribution guidelines
98 ------------------------------
97 Contribution guidelines
98 -----------------------
99 99
100 100 Kallithea is GPLv3 and we assume all contributions are made by the
101 101 committer/contributor and under GPLv3 unless explicitly stated. We do care a
102 102 lot about preservation of copyright and license information for existing code
103 103 that is brought into the project.
104 104
105 Contributions will be accepted in most formats -- such as pull requests on
106 Bitbucket, something hosted on your own Kallithea instance, or patches sent by
107 email to the `kallithea-general`_ mailing list.
108
109 When contributing via Bitbucket, please make your fork of
110 https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/ `non-publishing`_ -- it is one of
111 the settings on "Repository details" page. This ensures your commits are in
112 "draft" phase and makes it easier for you to address feedback and for project
113 maintainers to integrate your changes.
114
115 .. _non-publishing: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Phases#Publishing_Repository
116
117 Make sure to test your changes both manually and with the automatic tests
118 before posting.
119
120 We care about quality and review and keeping a clean repository history. We
121 might give feedback that requests polishing contributions until they are
122 "perfect". We might also rebase and collapse and make minor adjustments to your
123 changes when we apply them.
124
125 We try to make sure we have consensus on the direction the project is taking.
126 Everything non-sensitive should be discussed in public -- preferably on the
127 mailing list. We aim at having all non-trivial changes reviewed by at least
128 one other core developer before pushing. Obvious non-controversial changes will
129 be handled more casually.
130
131 For now we just have one official branch ("default") and will keep it so stable
132 that it can be (and is) used in production. Experimental changes should live
133 elsewhere (for example in a pull request) until they are ready.
134
135
136 Coding guidelines
137 -----------------
138
105 139 We don't have a formal coding/formatting standard. We are currently using a mix
106 140 of Mercurial (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CodingStyle), pep8, and
107 141 consistency with existing code. Run ``scripts/run-all-cleanup`` before
108 142 committing to ensure some basic code formatting consistency.
109 143
110 144 We support both Python 2.6.x and 2.7.x and nothing else. For now we don't care
111 145 about Python 3 compatibility.
112 146
113 147 We try to support the most common modern web browsers. IE9 is still supported
114 148 to the extent it is feasible, IE8 is not.
115 149
116 150 We primarily support Linux and OS X on the server side but Windows should also work.
117 151
118 152 HTML templates should use 2 spaces for indentation ... but be pragmatic. We
119 153 should use templates cleverly and avoid duplication. We should use reasonable
120 154 semantic markup with element classes and IDs that can be used for styling and testing.
121 155 We should only use inline styles in places where it really is semantic (such as
122 156 ``display: none``).
123 157
124 158 JavaScript must use ``;`` between/after statements. Indentation 4 spaces. Inline
125 159 multiline functions should be indented two levels -- one for the ``()`` and one for
126 160 ``{}``.
127 161 Variables holding jQuery objects should be named with a leading ``$``.
128 162
129 163 Commit messages should have a leading short line summarizing the changes. For
130 164 bug fixes, put ``(Issue #123)`` at the end of this line.
131 165
132 166 Use American English grammar and spelling overall. Use `English title case`_ for
133 167 page titles, button labels, headers, and 'labels' for fields in forms.
134 168
135 169 .. _English title case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization#Title_case

168 172 "Roadmap"
169 173 ---------
170 174
171 175 We do not have a road map but are waiting for your contributions. Refer to the
172 176 wiki_ for some ideas of places we might want to go -- contributions in these
173 177 areas are very welcome.

176 180 Thank you for your contribution!
