Creating issues is good, creating good issues is even better. By filing meaningful bug reports will lots of information in them helps us figure out what to fix when and how it impacts our users. We like bugs because it means people are using our code, and we like fixing them even more.
Issue-filing template and instructions
If you are submitting a pull request you need to make sure that you have done a few things first.
- If an issue doesn't exist, file one.
- Make sure you have tested your code because we are going to do that when when you make your PR. You don't want The Hat because your request fails unit tests.
- Clean up your git history because no one wants to see 75 commits for one issue
- Use our commit template
- Use our pull request template
Pull Request template and instructions
Creating tests is pretty straight forward and we need you to help us keep ensure the quality of our code. We write both our unit tests and functional tests using pytest. We know it is extra work to write these tests but the maintainers and consumers of this code appreciate the effort and writing the tests is pretty easy.
Running those tests is even easier.
shell
$ py.test --cov ./ --cov-report=html
$ open htmlcov/index.html
If you are running our functional tests you will need a real BIG-IP® to run them against, but you can get one of those pretty easily in Amazon EC2.
