You can contribute in many ways:
Report bugs at https://github.com/dnv-opensource/ship-traffic-generator/issues.
If you are reporting a bug, please include:
- Your operating system name and version.
- The version of Python (and Conda) that you are using.
- Any additional details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
- Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.
Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "enhancement" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Traffic Generator could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Traffic Generator docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/dnv-opensource/ship-traffic-generator/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up trafficgen for local development.
Clone the trafficgen repo on GitHub.
Install your local copy into a pyenv or conda environment.
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 --config tox.ini ./src/trafficgen ./tests $ pytest ./tests $ tox
If you installed the package with poetry
$ poetry install --with dev,docs
flake8, pytest and tox should already be installed in your Python environment. Note that the tox config assumes Python 3.10 and Python 3.11, you would have to have them both available to tox for all tests to run. If you only have one of these available tox will skip the non supported environment (and in most cases that is OK). If you are managing your Python enhancements with pyenv you will have to install the necessary versions and then run pyenv rehash to make them available to tox (or set multiple local envs with pyenv local py310 py311). If you are using conda you will have to create a new environment with the necessary Python version, install virtualenv in the environments and then run conda activate <env-name> to make it available to tox (to run all the environments in one go do conda activate inside activated environments).
You can also run the python tests from VSCode via the "Testing" view, "Configure Python Tests", with pytest` and select the folder tests.
Commit your changes and push your branch to the source repo:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through https://github.com/dnv-opensource/ship-traffic-generator/pulls.
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
- The pull request should include tests.
- If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.md.
- The pull request should work for Python 3.10.
To run a subset of tests:
$ pytest tests.test_trafficgen
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:
$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
