How to contribute to Flask
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for considering contributing to Flask.

Support questions
|
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please, don't use the issue tracker for this. Check whether the ``#pocoo`` IRC
|
|
|
|
|
channel on Freenode can help with your issue. If your problem is not strictly
|
|
|
|
|
Werkzeug or Flask specific, ``#python`` is generally more active.
|
|
|
|
|
`StackOverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/>`_ is also worth considering.

Reporting issues
|
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Under which versions of Python does this happen? This is even more important
|
|
|
|
|
if your issue is encoding related.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Under which versions of Werkzeug does this happen? Check if this issue is
|
|
|
|
|
fixed in the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Submitting patches
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Include tests if your patch is supposed to solve a bug, and explain
|
|
|
|
|
clearly under which circumstances the bug happens. Make sure the test fails
|
|
|
|
|
without your patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Try to follow `PEP8 <http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_, but you
|
|
|
|
|
may ignore the line-length-limit if following it would make the code uglier.

Running the testsuite
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You probably want to set up a `virtualenv
|
|
|
|
|
<http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimal requirement for running the testsuite is ``py.test``. You can
|
|
|
|
|
install it with::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pip install pytest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install Flask as an editable package using the current source::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd flask
|
|
|
|
|
pip install --editable .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then you can run the testsuite with::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
py.test
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With only py.test installed, a large part of the testsuite will get skipped
|
|
|
|
|
though. Whether this is relevant depends on which part of Flask you're working
|
|
|
|
|
on. Travis is set up to run the full testsuite when you submit your pull
|
|
|
|
|
request anyways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you really want to test everything, you will have to install ``tox`` instead
|
|
|
|
|
of ``pytest``. Currently we're depending on a development version of Tox
|
|
|
|
|
because the released version is missing features we absolutely need. You can
|
|
|
|
|
install it with::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``tox`` command will then run all tests against multiple combinations
|
|
|
|
|
Python versions and dependency versions.
