If you are thinking about making Mopidy better, or you just want to hack on it,
thats great. Here are some tips to get you started.
Getting started
===============
1. Make sure you have a `GitHub account <https://github.com/signup/free>`_.
2. `Submit <https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/new>`_ a ticket for your
issue, assuming one does not already exist. Clearly describe the issue
including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
3. Fork the repository on GitHub.
Making changes
==============
1. Clone your fork on GitHub to your computer.
2. Install dependencies as described in the :ref:`installation` section.
3. Checkout a new branch (usually based on develop) and name it accordingly to
what you intend to do.
- Features get the prefix ``feature/``
- Bug fixes get the prefix ``fix/``
- Improvements to the documentation get the prefix ``docs/``
Testing
=======
Mopidy got quite good test coverage, and we would like all new code going into
Mopidy to come with tests.
1. To run tests, you need a couple of dependencies. They can be installed using
``pip``::
pip install -r requirements/tests.txt
2. Then, to run all tests, go to the project directory and run::
nosetests
To run tests with test coverage statistics, remember to specify the tests
dir::
nosetests --with-coverage tests/
3. Check the code for errors and style issues using flake8::
flake8 .
For more documentation on testing, check out the `nose documentation
<http://nose.readthedocs.org/>`_.
Submitting changes
==================
- One branch per feature or fix.
- Follow the style guide, especially make sure ``flake8`` does not complain
about anything.
- Send a pull request to the ``develop`` branch.
