Contributing to TestEZ

Thanks for considering contributing to TestEZ! This guide has a few tips and guidelines to make contributing to the project as easy as possible.

Bug Reports

Any bugs (or things that look like bugs) can be reported on the GitHub issue tracker.

Make sure you check to see if someone has already reported your bug first! Don't fret about it; if we notice a duplicate we'll send you a link to the right issue!

Feature Requests

If there are any features you think are missing from TestEZ, you can post a request in the GitHub issue tracker.

Just like bug reports, take a peak at the issue tracker for duplicates before opening a new feature request.

Working on TestEZ

To get started working on TestEZ, you'll need:

Make sure to clone the repository with submodules. You can do that to your existing repository with:

git submodule update --init

Finally, you can run all of TestEZ's tests with:

lua test/lemur.lua

Or, to generate a LuaCov coverage report:

lua -lluacov test/lemur.lua
luacov

If you're an engineer at Roblox, you can skip this setup and use Roblox-CLI. Make sure it's on your PATH and that you have a production Roblox Studio installation. You can then run:

./test/roblox-cli.sh

Pull Requests

Before starting a pull request, open an issue about the feature or bug. This helps us prevent duplicated and wasted effort. These issues are a great place to ask for help if you run into problems!

Before you submit a new pull request, check:

  • Code Style: Match the existing code!
  • Changelog: Add an entry to CHANGELOG.md
  • Luacheck: Run Luacheck on your code, no warnings allowed!
  • Tests: They all need to pass!

Code Style

Try to match the existing code style! In short:

  • Tabs for indentation
  • Double quotes
  • One statement per line

Eventually we'll have a tool to check these things automatically.

Changelog

Adding an entry to CHANGELOG.md alongside your commit makes it easier for everyone to keep track of what's been changed.

Add a line under the "Current master" heading. When we make a new release, all of those bullet points will be attached to a new version and the "Current master" section will become empty again.

Luacheck

We use Luacheck for static analysis of Lua on all of our projects.

From the command line, just run luacheck src to check the TestEZ source.

You should get it working on your system, and then get a plugin for the editor you use. There are plugins available for most popular editors!

Tests

When submitting a bug fix, create a test that verifies the broken behavior and that the bug fix works. This helps us avoid regressions!

We use LuaCov for keeping track of code coverage. We'd like it to be as close to 100% as possible, but it's not always easy.
