Contributing to jsonpath-compliance-test-suite

The jsonpath-compliance-test-suite project team welcomes contributions from the community.

Contribution Flow

This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work
  • Make commits of logical units
  • Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format (see below)
  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository
  • Submit a pull request

Example:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/jsonpath-standard/jsonpath-compliance-test-suite.git
git checkout -b my-new-feature main
git commit -a
git push origin my-new-feature

Making changes to the Test Suite

You need to have Node.js (v18 or higher) installed to build the Test Suite.

To add or modify tests:

  • add/edit the corresponding file(s) in the tests directory
  • [optional] run the build.sh or build.ps1 script located in the root folder
    (this will be performed automatically by GitHub CI after the pull request has been merged to main)
  • commit the changes to tests and cts.json

Do not modify cts.json directly!

Staying In Sync With Upstream

When your branch gets out of sync with the jsonpath-standard/jsonpath-compliance-test-suite/main branch, use the following to update:

git checkout my-new-feature
git fetch -a
git pull --rebase upstream main
git push --force-with-lease origin my-new-feature

Updating pull requests

If your PR fails to pass CI or needs changes based on code review, you'll most likely want to squash these changes into existing commits.

If your pull request contains a single commit or your changes are related to the most recent commit, you can simply amend the commit.

git add .
git commit --amend
git push --force-with-lease origin my-new-feature

If you need to squash changes into an earlier commit, you can use:

git add .
git commit --fixup <commit>
git rebase -i --autosquash main
git push --force-with-lease origin my-new-feature

Be sure to add a comment to the PR indicating your new changes are ready to review, as GitHub does not generate a notification when you git push.

Formatting Commit Messages

We follow the conventions on How to Write a Git Commit Message.

Be sure to include any related GitHub issue references in the commit message. See GFM syntax for referencing issues and commits.

Reporting Bugs and Creating Issues

When opening a new issue, try to roughly follow the commit message format conventions above.
