Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up kelvin-rest-api-client for local development.

Fork the kelvin-rest-api-client repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/kelvin-rest-api-client.git

Install your local copy into a virtualenv:

$ cd kelvin-rest-api-client/
$ make setup_devel_env

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, check that your changes pass the style checks and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
```
$ make lint
$ make test
$ make test-all
```

5.1 Fix format and coverage problems:

$ make format
$ make coverage-html

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

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

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

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

The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
Make sure style and coverage requirements are met (run make lint and tox).
The pull request should work for Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10. Check https://app.travis-ci.com/github/univention/kelvin-rest-api-client and https://github.com/univention/kelvin-rest-api-client/actions and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips¶

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m pytest tests/test_user.py::test_get_from_url

Deploying¶

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ $EDITOR VERSION.txt
$ git add VERSION.txt
$ git commit -m "new version"
$ git tag "$(cat VERSION.txt)"
$ git push
$ git push --tags
