Developer notes

This document is for people who maintain and contribute to this repository.

How to run tests

This repo uses tox for unit and integration tests. It does not install tox for you, you should follow the installation instructions if your local setup does not yet include tox.

You are encouraged to set up your checkout such that the tests run on every commit, and on every push. To do so, run the following command after checking out this repository:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Once your checkout is configured in this manner, every commit will run a code style check (with Flake8), and every push to a remote topic branch will result in a full tox run.

In addition, we use GitHub Actions to run the same checks on every push to GitHub.

If you absolutely must, you can use the --no-verify flag to git commit and git push to bypass local checks, and rely on GitHub Actions alone. But doing so is strongly discouraged.

How to cut a release

This repository uses bump2version (the maintained fork of bumpversion) for managing new releases.

Use tox -e bumpversion to increase the version number:

  • tox -e bumpversion patch: creates a new point release (such as 1.1.1)
  • tox -e bumpversion minor: creates a new minor release, with the patch level set to 0 (such as 1.2.0)
  • tox -e bumpversion major: creates a new major release, with the minor and patch levels set to 0 (such as 2.0.0)

This creates a new commit, and also a new tag, named v<num>, where <num> is the new version number.

Push these two commits (the one for the changelog, and the version bump) to origin. Make sure you push the v<num> tag to origin as well.

Then, build a new sdist package, and upload it to PyPI (with twine):

rm dist/* -f
./setup.py sdist
twine upload dist/*
