Contributing ############ Setup a dev environment ======================= You must develop on top of the git master branch:: git clone https://github.com/spiral-project/ihatemoney.git Then you need to build your dev environments. Choose your way… The quick way ------------- If System :ref:`installation-requirements` are fulfilled, you can just issue:: make serve It will setup a `virtualenv `_, install dependencies, and run the test server. The hard way ------------ Alternatively, you can also use the `requirements.txt` file to install the dependencies yourself. That would be:: pip install -r requirements.txt And then run the application:: cd ihatemoney python run.py Accessing dev server -------------------- In any case, you can point your browser at `http://localhost:5000 `_. It's as simple as that! Updating -------- In case you want to update to newer versions (from git), you can just run the "update" command:: make update Create database migrations -------------------------- In case you need to modify the database schema, first update the models in ``ihatemoney/models.py``. Then run the following command to create a new database revision file:: make create-database-revision If your changes are simple enough, the generated script will be populated with the necessary migrations steps. You can edit the generated script. eg: to add data migrations. For complex migrations, it is recommended to start from an empty revision file which can be created with the following command:: make create-empty-database-revision Useful settings ---------------- It is better to actually turn the debugging mode on when you're developing. You can create a ``settings.cfg`` file, with the following content:: DEBUG = True SQLACHEMY_ECHO = DEBUG You can also set the `TESTING` flag to `True` so no mails are sent (and no exception is raised) while you're on development mode. Then before running the application, declare its path with :: export IHATEMONEY_SETTINGS_FILE_PATH="$(pwd)/settings.cfg" How to contribute ================= You would like to contribute? First, thanks a bunch! This project is a small project with just a few people behind it, so any help is appreciated! There are different ways to help us, regarding if you are a designer, a developer or an user. As a developer -------------- If you want to contribute code, you can write it and then issue a pull request on github. Please, think about updating and running the tests before asking for a pull request as it will help us to maintain the code clean and running. To do so:: make test We are using the `black `_ formatter for all the python files in this project. Be sure to run it locally on your files. To do so, just run:: black ihatemoney You can also integrate it with your dev environment (as a *format-on-save* hook, for instance). As a designer / Front-end developer ----------------------------------- Feel free to provide us mockups or to involve yourself into the discussions hapenning on the github issue tracker. All ideas are welcome. Of course, if you know how to implement them, feel free to fork and make a pull request. As a translator --------------- If you're able to translate Ihatemoney in your own language, head over to `the website we use for translations `_ and start translating! All the heavy lifting will be done automatically, and your strings will eventually be integrated. Once a language is ready to be integrated, add it to the ``SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES`` list, in ``ihatemoney/default_settings.py``. End-user -------- You are using the application and found a bug? You have some ideas about how to improve the project? Please tell us `by filling a new issue `_. Or, if you prefer, you can send me an email to `alexis@notmyidea.org` and I will update the issue tracker with your feedback. Thanks again! How to build the documentation ? ================================ The documentation is using `sphinx `_ and its source is located inside the `docs folder `_. Install doc dependencies (within the virtualenv, if any):: pip install -r docs/requirements.txt And to produce html doc in `docs/_output` folder:: cd docs/ make html How to release? =============== In order to prepare a new release, we are following the following steps: - Merge remaining pull requests; - Update :file:`CHANGELOG.rst` with the last changes; - Update :file:`CONTRIBUTORS`; - Update known good versions of dependencies in ``requirements.txt`` with this command (from inside the venv):: make build-requirements - If needed, recompress assets. It requires zopflipng:: make compress-assets - Build the translations:: make update-translations make build-translations Once this is done, use the "release" instruction:: make release And the new version should be published on PyPI. .. note:: The above command will prompt for version number, handle :file:`CHANGELOG.rst` and :file:`setup.cfg` updates, package creation, pypi upload. It will prompt you before each step to get your consent.
