Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up llvm_snapshot_builder for local development.

  1. Download the sources:

    $ git clone git@github.com:kwk/llvm_snapshot_builder.git
    
  2. Enter the source directory:

    $ cd llvm_snapshot_builder
    
  3. Create a virtual environment using:

    $ poetry shell`
    
  4. Install the sources into the virtual environment that you’re in:

    $ poetry install
    
  5. Try out the CLI tool:

    $ llvm_sb
    

    You should see some help showing up there.

  6. Use git (or similar) to create a branch for local development and make your changes:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes conform to any code formatting requirements and pass any tests.

  8. Commit your changes and open a pull request.

Run tests

After you’ve completed steps 1-4 from the previous steps you need to setup your Copr credentials by going to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api/ and then creating a ~/.config/copr file according to the information on the website. This project will automatically pick up the config from that file in order to connect you to copr and create test projects for you in there when you run tests.

Run all tests by executing:

```console
$ poetry run pytest
```

In order to run an intivial test, try this:

```console
pytest tests/test_cli.py::TestCLI::test_project_exists
```

And adjust the path to the test you want to run.

Pull Request Guidelines

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

  1. The pull request should include additional tests if appropriate.

  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated.

  3. The pull request should work for all currently supported operating systems and versions of Python.
