Contributing

Thank you for being interested in contributing to sphinx-autobuild! This page contains information to help you get started with development on this project.

Feature Suggestions

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. :)

Development

Set-up

  1. Fork the sphinx-autobuild repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally.

    $ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/sphinx-autobuild

To work on this project, you need Python 3.9 or newer. Most of this project's development workflow commands use nox.

If you're not sure how to install nox, it is recommended to set it up in an isolated environment with pipx:

pip install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install nox

Running Tests

This project has a test suite to ensure that things work properly. The tests can be run using:

nox -s tests

This will run tests against all supported version of Python that are installed.

If you want to run tests for a specific version of Python (say, 3.12), you can do so using:

nox -s test-3.12

Running Linters

The code style in this project is enforced with multiple automated linters. You can run them using:

nox -s lint

Running this project

You can test your local copy of this project, by building this project's docs/ directory with it.

nox -s docs-live

Pull Request Guidelines

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

  1. The pull request has code, it should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated.
  3. Make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions (see the GitHub Actions builds for details).

Release Process

  • Update the NEWS.rst file (replace the unreleased title with the current date).
  • Bump the version in the src/sphinx_autobuild/__init__.py file.
  • Update the AUTHORS file (git shortlog -s -e -n | cut -f 2- > AUTHORS on *nix).
  • Push everything and make sure the Travis tests still pass.
  • Run flit publish to build the package and release it on PyPI.
  • Add a new unreleased section to the top of the NEWS.rst file.
