Hurray! We are glad that you want to contribute to our project! 👍
If this is your first contribution, not to worry! We have a great tutorial to help you get started, and you can always ask us for help in the #athens channel in the gopher slack. We'll give you whatever guidance you need. Another great resource for first time contributors can be found here.
If you see an issue that you'd like to work on, please just post a comment saying that you want to work on it. Something like "I want to work on this" is fine.
Run make verify test-unit test-e2e to run all the same validations that our CI process runs, such
as checking that the standard go formatting is applied, linting, etc.
Run make setup-dev-env to install local developer tools and run necessary
services, such as mongodb, for the end-to-end tests.
For further details see DEVELOPMENT.md
End-to-End tests (e2e) are tests from the user perspective that validate that
everything works when running real live servers, and using go with GOPROXY set.
Run make test-e2e to run the end-to-end tests.
The first time you run the tests,
you must run make setup-dev-env first, otherwise you will see errors like the one below:
error connecting to storage (no reachable servers)
