First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! This guide will answer some common questions about how this project works.
While this is a Pinterest open source project, we welcome contributions from everyone. Several regular outside contributors are also project maintainers.
- Fork this repository to your own account
- Make your changes and verify that
mix testpasses - Commit your work and push to a new branch on your fork
- Submit a pull request
- Participate in the code review process by responding to feedback
Once there is agreement that the code is in good shape, one of the project's maintainers will merge your contribution.
To increase the chances that your pull request will be accepted:
- Follow the style guide
- Write tests for your changes
- Write a good commit message
We use mix format-based code formatting. The format will be enforced by
Travis CI, so please make sure your code is well formatted before you push
your branch so those checks will pass.
We also use Credo for static analysis and code consistency. You can run it
locally via mix credo.
We think test coverage is important because it makes it less likely that future changes will break existing functionality. Changes that drop the project's overall test coverage below 90% will fail to pass CI.
Test coverage is measured using Coveralls. You can generate a local
coverage report using mix coveralls.detail or mix coveralls.html.
Some serialization tests use static test data to verify their correctness.
These data files live under test/data/ and have .thriftbin extensions.
If you're changing any of the serialization routines, or adding some new code
paths, you may need to (re)generate some of these data files. If that's the
case, check out test/data/README.md for instructions.
