Contribution guide

First, thank you for contributing! We love and encourage pull requests from everyone. Please follow the guidelines:

  • Check the open issues and pull requests for existing discussions.

  • Open an issue first, to discuss a new feature or enhancement.

  • Write tests, and make sure the test suite passes locally.

  • Open a pull request, and reference the relevant issue(s).

  • Make sure your commits are logically separated and have good comments explaining the details of your change.

  • After receiving feedback, amend your commits or add new ones as appropriate.

  • Have fun!

Development Workflow

Start by forking the frostfs-testcases repository, make changes in a branch and then send a pull request. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes. Here are the steps in details:

Set up your GitHub Repository

Fork FrosfFS testcases upstream source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL of your fork and clone it:

$ git clone <url of your fork>

Set up git remote as upstream

$ cd frostfs-testcases
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-testcases
$ git fetch upstream

Set up development environment

To setup development environment for frosfs-testcases, please, take the following steps:

  1. Prepare virtualenv
$ make venv
$ source frostfs-testcases-3.10/bin/activate

Optionally you might want to integrate code formatters with your code editor to apply formatters to code files as you go:

  • isort is supported by PyCharm, VS Code. Plugins exist for other IDEs/editors as well.
  • black can be integrated with multiple editors, please, instructions are available here.

Create your feature branch

Before making code changes, make sure you create a separate branch for these changes. Maybe you will find it convenient to name branch in <type>/<issue>-<changes_topic> format.

$ git checkout -b feature/123-something_awesome

Commit changes

After verification, commit your changes. There is a great post on how to write useful commit messages. Try following this template:

[#Issue] Summary
Description
<Macros>
<Sign-Off>
$ git commit -am '[#123] Add some feature'

Push to the branch

Push your locally committed changes to the remote origin (your fork):

$ git push origin feature/123-something_awesome

Create a Pull Request

Pull requests can be created via GitHub. Refer to this document for detailed steps on how to create a pull request. After a Pull Request gets peer reviewed and approved, it will be merged.

Code Style

The names of Python variables, functions and classes must comply with PEP8 rules, in particular:

  • Name of a variable/function must be in snake_case (lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability).
  • Name of a global variable must be in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, the underscore (_) symbol must be used as a separator between words.
  • Name of a class must be in PascalCase (the first letter of each compound word in a variable name is capitalized).
  • Names of other variables should not be ended with the underscore symbol.

Line length limit is set as 100 characters.

Imports should be ordered in accordance with isort default rules.

We use black and isort for code formatting. Please, refer to Black code style for details.

Type hints are mandatory for library's code:

  • class attributes;
  • function or method's parameters;
  • function or method's return type.

The only exception is return type of test functions or methods - there's no much use in specifying None as return type for each test function.

Do not use relative imports. Even if the module is in the same package, use the full package name.

To format docstrings, please, use Google Style Docstrings. Type annotations should be specified in the code and not in docstrings (please, refer to this sample).
