1 Checklist (and a short version for the impatient)
2 =================================================
3
4 * Commits:
5
6 - Make commits of logical units.
7
8 - Check for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check" before
9 committing.
10
11 - Commit using Unix line endings (check the settings around "crlf" in
12 git-config(1)).
13
14 - Do not check in commented out code or unneeded files.
15
16 - The first line of the commit message should be a short
17 description (50 characters is the soft limit, excluding ticket
18 number(s)), and should skip the full stop.
19
20 - Associate the issue in the message. The first line should include
21 the issue number in the form "(#XXXX) Rest of message".
22
23 - The body should provide a meaningful commit message, which:
24
25 - uses the imperative, present tense: "change", not "changed" or
26 "changes".
27
28 - includes motivation for the change, and contrasts its
29 implementation with the previous behavior.
30
31 - Make sure that you have tests for the bug you are fixing, or
32 feature you are adding.
33
34 - Make sure the test suites passes after your commit:
35 `bundle exec rspec spec/acceptance` More information on [testing](#Testing) below
36
37 - When introducing a new feature, make sure it is properly
38 documented in the README.md
39
40 * Submission:
41
42 * Pre-requisites:
43
44 - Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join)
45
46 - [Create a ticket](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa), or [watch the ticket](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/) you are patching for.
47
48 * Preferred method:
49
50 - Fork the repository on GitHub.
51
52 - Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the
53 repository. (the format ticket/1234-short_description_of_change is
54 usually preferred for this project).
55
56 - Submit a pull request to the repository in the puppetlabs
57 organization.
58
59 The long version
60 ================
61
62 1. Make separate commits for logically separate changes.
63
64 Please break your commits down into logically consistent units
65 which include new or changed tests relevant to the rest of the
66 change. The goal of doing this is to make the diff easier to
67 read for whoever is reviewing your code. In general, the easier
68 your diff is to read, the more likely someone will be happy to
69 review it and get it into the code base.
70
71 If you are going to refactor a piece of code, please do so as a
72 separate commit from your feature or bug fix changes.
73
74 We also really appreciate changes that include tests to make
75 sure the bug is not re-introduced, and that the feature is not
76 accidentally broken.
77
78 Describe the technical detail of the change(s). If your
79 description starts to get too long, that is a good sign that you
80 probably need to split up your commit into more finely grained
81 pieces.
82
83 Commits which plainly describe the things which help
84 reviewers check the patch and future developers understand the
85 code are much more likely to be merged in with a minimum of
86 bike-shedding or requested changes. Ideally, the commit message
87 would include information, and be in a form suitable for
88 inclusion in the release notes for the version of Puppet that
89 includes them.
90
91 Please also check that you are not introducing any trailing
92 whitespace or other "whitespace errors". You can do this by
93 running "git diff --check" on your changes before you commit.
94
95 2. Sending your patches
96
97 To submit your changes via a GitHub pull request, we _highly_
98 recommend that you have them on a topic branch, instead of
99 directly on "master".
100 It makes things much easier to keep track of, especially if
101 you decide to work on another thing before your first change
102 is merged in.
103
104 GitHub has some pretty good
105 [general documentation](http://help.github.com/) on using
106 their site. They also have documentation on
107 [creating pull requests](http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/).
108
109 In general, after pushing your topic branch up to your
110 repository on GitHub, you can switch to the branch in the
111 GitHub UI and click "Pull Request" towards the top of the page
112 in order to open a pull request.
113
114
115 3. Update the related GitHub issue.
116
117 If there is a GitHub issue associated with the change you
118 submitted, then you should update the ticket to include the
119 location of your branch, along with any other commentary you
120 may wish to make.
121
122 Testing
123 =======
124
125 Getting Started
126 ---------------
127
128 Our puppet modules provide [`Gemfile`](./Gemfile)s which can tell a ruby
129 package manager such as [bundler](http://bundler.io/) what Ruby packages,
130 or Gems, are required to build, develop, and test this software.
131
132 Please make sure you have [bundler installed](http://bundler.io/#getting-started)
133 on your system, then use it to install all dependencies needed for this project,
134 by running
135
136 ```shell
137 % bundle install
138 Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/........
139 Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..
140 Using rake (10.1.0)
141 Using builder (3.2.2)
142 -- 8><-- many more --><8 --
143 Using rspec-system-puppet (2.2.0)
144 Using serverspec (0.6.3)
145 Using rspec-system-serverspec (1.0.0)
146 Using bundler (1.3.5)
147 Your bundle is complete!
148 Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
149 ```
150
151 NOTE some systems may require you to run this command with sudo.
152
153 If you already have those gems installed, make sure they are up-to-date:
154
155 ```shell
156 % bundle update
157 ```
158
159 With all dependencies in place and up-to-date we can now run the tests:
160
161 ```shell
162 % rake spec
163 ```
164
165 This will execute all the [rspec tests](http://rspec-puppet.com/) tests
166 under [spec/defines](./spec/defines), [spec/classes](./spec/classes),
167 and so on. rspec tests may have the same kind of dependencies as the
168 module they are testing. While the module defines in its [Modulefile](./Modulefile),
169 rspec tests define them in [.fixtures.yml](./fixtures.yml).
170
171 Some puppet modules also come with [beaker](https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker)
172 tests. These tests spin up a virtual machine under
173 [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)) with, controlling it with
174 [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) to actually simulate scripted test
175 scenarios. In order to run these, you will need both of those tools
176 installed on your system.
177
178 You can run them by issuing the following command
179
180 ```shell
181 % rake spec_clean
182 % rspec spec/acceptance
183 ```
184
185 This will now download a pre-fabricated image configured in the [default node-set](./spec/acceptance/nodesets/default.yml),
186 install puppet, copy this module and install its dependencies per [spec/spec_helper_acceptance.rb](./spec/spec_helper_acceptance.rb)
187 and then run all the tests under [spec/acceptance](./spec/acceptance).
188
189 Writing Tests
190 -------------
191
192 XXX getting started writing tests.
193
194 If you have commit access to the repository
195 ===========================================
196
197 Even if you have commit access to the repository, you will still need to
198 go through the process above, and have someone else review and merge
199 in your changes. The rule is that all changes must be reviewed by a
200 developer on the project (that did not write the code) to ensure that
201 all changes go through a code review process.
202
203 Having someone other than the author of the topic branch recorded as
204 performing the merge is the record that they performed the code
205 review.
