Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up mongoelector for local development.

  1. Fork the mongoelector repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/mongoelector.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv mongoelector
$ cd mongoelector/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ python setup.py test
$ tox

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv. You will also need an instance of MongoDB running, tests default connecting to localhost.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. 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.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5. Check https://travis-ci.org/zebpalmer/MongoElector/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_mongoelector
