Contributing ============ Developing CodeRed CMS ---------------------- To create a test project locally: #. Clone the code from https://github.com/coderedcorp/coderedcms (dev branch). #. Run ``pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`` from the root coderedcms directory. This will install development tools, and also make the install editable, which is relevant when running ``makemigrations`` in test project to actually generate the migration files in the coderedcms pip package. #. Follow the steps in :doc:`/getting_started/install`. Use ``testproject`` for your project name to ensure it is ignored by git. #. When making model or block changes within coderedcms, run ``makemigrations coderedcms`` in the test project to generate the relevant migration files for the pip package. ALWAYS follow steps 4 and 5 in :doc:`/getting_started/install` with a fresh database before making migrations. #. When model or block changes affect the local test project (i.e. the "website" app), run ``makemigrations website`` in the test project to generate the relevant migration files locally. Apply and test the migrations. When satisfied, re-generate the ``0001_initial.py`` migration in ``project_template/website/migrations/`` as so: #. Create a new test project using ``coderedcms start testproject``. #. Before running migrations, DELETE all migrations in ``testproject/website/migrations/``. #. Run ``python manage.py makemigrations website``. This should generate an ``0001_initial.py`` migration. #. Replace ``project_template/website/migrations/0001_initial.py`` with your newly generated migration. When making changes that are potentially destructive or backwards incompatible, increment the minor version number until coderedcms reaches a stable 1.0 release. Each production project that uses coderedcms should specify the appropriate version in its requirements.txt to prevent breakage. .. note:: When testing existing projects with coderedcms installed from a development branch, be sure to use a disposable database, as it is likely that the migrations will not be the same migrations that get released. Branching Strategy ------------------ Primary development takes place in individual branches for each feature or bug. Changes are then made as a pull request against the ``dev`` branch. The ``dev`` branch is the primary working branch, representing the development version of coderedcms. Releases are maintained in ``release/X.Y`` branches, where X is the Major version and Y is the Minor version. Maintenance patches are applied in ``dev`` (if applicable) and then merged or cherry-picked into the respective release branch. A Note on Cross-Platform Support -------------------------------- CodeRed CMS works equally well on Windows, macOS, and Linux. When adding new features or new dependencies, ensure that these utilize proper cross-platform utilities in Python. To ease local development of CodeRed CMS, we have some automation scripts using cross-platform `PowerShell Core `_. Throughout this contributing guide, you will encounter various PowerShell scripts which provide an easy way of running quality control measures. Our goal is that users of any platform can develop or host a CodeRed CMS website easily. CSS Development --------------- When CSS changes are needed for front-end code (not the wagtail admin), Sass should be used. Each block, page, snippet, or other component that requires styling should have a dedicated ``.scss`` file created beginning with an underscore in ``coderedcms/static/scss/``. Then import the file in our main ``codered-front.scss`` file. Then build a human readable and minified version of CSS from the command prompt as so: .. code-block:: console $ cd coderedcms/static/coderedcms/ // Build human readable CSS, and source map for nicer debugging. $ pysassc -g -t expanded scss/codered-front.scss css/codered-front.css // Build minified CSS. $ pysassc -t compressed scss/codered-front.scss css/codered-front.min.css Finally, copy the license header comment into codered-front.min.css (since ``pysassc`` does not have an argument to preserve comments while also using compressed output). The generated CSS files must also be committed to version control whenever a sass file is changed, as they are distributed as part of our package. JavaScript Development ---------------------- All JavaScript should use ``codered-front.js`` as an entry point, meaning feature detection should happen in ``codered-front.js`` and then only load secondary scripts and CSS as needed. This ensures only one single small JavaScript file is required on page load, which reduces render-blocking resources and page load time. All JavaScript files produced by CodeRed should contain a license header comment. This standard license header comment states copyright, ownership, license, and also provides compatibility for `LibreJS `_. .. code-block:: text /* CodeRed CMS (https://www.coderedcorp.com/cms/) Copyright 2018-2019 CodeRed LLC License: https://github.com/coderedcorp/coderedcms/blob/dev/LICENSE @license magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c80d50af7d3db9be66a4d0a86db0286e4fd33292&dn=bsd-3-clause.txt BSD-3-Clause */ ... script code here ... /* @license-end */ Upgrading 3rd-Party CSS/JavaScript Libraries -------------------------------------------- External front-end libraries are included in two places: * Source or distributables are in ``coderedcms/static/coderedcms/vendor/``. * Referenced via a CDN in ``coderedcms/static/coderedcms/codered-front.js``. To upgrade, replace the relevant files or links in these two sources. Then be sure to change any URLs if applicable within the ``base.html`` template. If changing SASS sources, be sure to test ``.scss`` files in ``coderedcms/project_template/sass/`` which may require changes. Testing CodeRed CMS ------------------- To run the unit tests, run the following command. This will output a unit test report and code coverage report: .. code-block:: console $ pytest coderedcms/ Or more conveniently, run the PowerShell script, which will also print out the code coverage percentage in the console: .. code-block:: console $ ./ci/run-tests.ps1 Detailed test coverage reports are now available by opening ``htmlcov/index.html`` in your browser (which is ignored by version control). To compare your current code coverage against the code coverage of the dev branch (based on latest Azure Pipeline build from dev) run: .. code-block:: console $ ./ci/compare-codecov.ps1 Adding New Tests ---------------- Test coverage at the moment is fairly minimal and it is highly recommended that new features and models include proper unit tests. Any testing infrastructure (i.e. implementations of abstract models and migrations) needed should be added to the ``tests`` app in your local copy of CodeRed CMS. The tests themselves should be in their relevant section in CodeRed CMS (i.e. tests for models in ``coderedcms.models.page_models`` should be located in ``coderedcms.models.tests.test_page_models``). For example, here is how you would add tests for a new abstract page type, ``CoderedCustomPage`` that would live in ``coderedcms/models/page_models.py``: #. Navigate to ``coderedcms/tests/testapp/models.py`` #. Add the following import: ``from coderedcms.models.page_models import CoderedCustomPage`` #. Implement a concrete version of ``CoderedCustomPage``, i.e. ``CustomPage(CoderedCustomPage)``. #. Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` to make new testing migrations. #. Navigate to ``coderedcms/models/tests/test_page_models.py`` #. Add the following import: ``from coderedcms.models import CoderedCustomPage`` #. Add the following import: ``from coderedcms.tests.testapp.models import CustomPage`` #. Add the following to the bottom of the file: .. code-block:: python class CoderedCustomPageTestCase(AbstractPageTestCase, WagtailPageTests): model = CoderedCustomPage #. Add the following to the bottom of the file: .. code-block:: python class CustomPageTestCase(ConcreteBasicPageTestCase, WagtailPageTests): model = CustomPage #. Write any specific test cases that ``CoderedCustomPage`` and ``CustomPage`` may require. Static Analysis --------------- Flake8 is used to check for syntax and style errors. To analyze the entire codebase, run: .. code-block:: console $ flake8 . Alternatively, our continuous integration only analyzes the diff between your changes and the dev branch. To analyze just the diff of your current changes, run the PowerShell script: .. code-block:: console $ ./ci/run-flake8.ps1 Contributor Guidelines ---------------------- We are happy to accept pull requests from the community if it aligns with our vision for coderedcms. When creating a pull request, please make sure you include the following: * A description in the pull request of what this change does and how it works. * Reference to an issue if the change is related to one of the issues on our GitHub page. * Documentation updates in the ``docs/`` directory describing your change. * Unit tests, or a description of how the change was manually tested. Following submission of your pull request, a CodeRed member will review and test your change. **All changes, even by CodeRed members, must go through a pull request process to ensure quality.** Merging Pull Requests --------------------- Follow these guidelines to merge a pull request into the dev branch: * Unit tests pass. * Code coverage is not lower than dev branch. * Documentation builds, and the PR provides documentation (release notes at a minimum). * If there is a related issue, the issue is referenced and/or closed (if applicable) * Finally, always make a squash merge with a single descriptive commit message. Avoid simply using the default commit message generated by GitHub if it is a summary of previous commits or is not descriptive of the change. In the event that the pull request needs more work that the author is unable to provide, the following process should be followed: * Create a new branch from dev in the form of ``merge/pr-123`` where 123 is the original pull request number. * Edit the pull request to merge into the new branch instead of dev. * Make the necessary changes and submit for review using the normal process. * When merging this branch into dev, follow the same process above, but be sure to credit the original author(s) by adding their names to the bottom of the commit message as so (see `GitHub documentation `_): .. code-block:: text Co-authored-by: name Co-authored-by: another-name Building Python Packages ------------------------ To build a publicly consumable pip package, run: .. code-block:: console $ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel Building Documentation ---------------------- For every code or feature change, be sure to update the docs in the repository. To build the documentation run the PowerShell script, which will also check for errors in the documentation: .. code-block:: console $ ./ci/make-docs.ps1 Or manually using sphinx: .. code-block:: console $ sphinx-build -M html docs/ docs/_build/ -W Output will be in ``docs/_build/html/`` directory. Publishing a New Release ------------------------ .. note:: For creating pre-releases, use the "rc" version specifier in ``coderedcms/__init__.py``. When publishing a production release, leave this blank. After a release is completed, increment the version and add the "dev0" version specifier. First checkout the code/branch for release. Next build a pip package: .. code-block:: console $ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel Then upload the pip package to the Python Package Index: .. code-block:: console $ twine upload dist/* Finally build and update docs: .. code-block:: console $ ./ci/make-docs.ps1 If updating docs for an existing major version release: #. Copy the contents of ``docs/_build/html/`` to the CodeRed docs server under the existing version directory. Note that we do not release separate documentation versions for minor or maintenance releases. Update the existing major version docs with release notes and other changes.
