Thank you for your interest in contributing to our driver!
Before submitting a PR with your patch for review, make sure it will satisfy the following requirements:
- Your patch is split into commits. Each commit introduces one, logically coherent change to the codebase.
- Commit messages should clearly explain what is being changed in the commit, and what is the reason for the change.
- New features and bug fixes are covered with tests.
- Every commit in your patch compiles, passes static checks and passes all tests.
- The description of your PR explains the reason and motivation for the patch.
- If patch fixes an issue, there should be a
Fixes: #XYZ
line at the end of PR's description.
In case any of those requirements can't be met, please include the reason for this in your PR's description. A maintainer can make an exception and merge the PR if the reason is justified.
After submitting a PR which meets all criteria from the previous section, it will be reviewed by one or more maintainers. When the maintainers become satisfied with your contribution, one of them will merge it.
Currently, the list of people maintaining the fork include:
- Jan Ciołek (@cvybhu)
- Piotr Dulikowski (@piodul)
Currently, we require new PRs to compile without warnings, pass cargo fmt
and cargo clippy
checks.
A 3-node ScyllaDB cluster is required to run the tests.
The simplest way to set it up locally is to use a docker compose
.
Fortunately there is no need to invoke docker compose
manually, everything can be handled by our Makefile
.
To run a cargo test suite, use the command below (note that you must have Docker and Docker Compose V2 installed):
make test
When on non-Linux machine, however, it can be impossible to connect to containerized Scylla instance from outside Docker.
If you are using macOS, we provide a dockerized-test
make target for running tests inside another Docker container:
make dockerized-test
If working on Windows, run tests in WSL.
The above commands will leave a running ScyllaDB cluster in the background.
To stop it, use make down
.
Starting a cluster without running any test is possible with make up
.
Before sending a pull request, it is a good idea to run make ci
locally (or make dockerized-ci
if on macOS).
It will perform a format check, cargo check
, linter check (clippy), build and cargo test
.
The documentation book is written using mdbook
Book source is in docs/source
This source has to be compatible with Sphinx
so it might sometimes contain chunks like:
```eval_rst
something
```
But they are removed when building the book
mdbook
can be installed using:
cargo install mdbook
Build the book (simple method, contains Sphinx
artifacts):
mdbook build docs
# HTML will be in docs/book
To build the release version use a script which automatically removes Sphinx
chunks:
python3 docs/build_book.py
# HTML will be in docs/book/scriptbuild/book
Or serve it on a local http server (automatically refreshes on changes)
mdbook serve docs
Test code examples (requires a running scylla instance):
# Make a clean debug build, otherwise mdbook has problems with multiple versions
cargo clean
cargo build --examples
mdbook test -L target/debug/deps/ docs
