The title of a Bug or Enhancement should clearly indicate what is broken or desired. Use the description to explain possible solutions or add details and (especially for Enhancemnts) explain how or why the issue is broken or desired.
While quibbling about grammar in issue titles may seem a bit pedantic, adhering to some simple rules can make it much easier to understand a Bug or an Enhancement from the title alone. For example, is the title "Browsers should support blinking text" a bug or a feature request?
-
Enhancements: The title should be an imperative statement of how things should be. "Add support for blinking text"
-
Bugs: The title should be a declarative statement of how things are. "Text does not blink"
As part of the build process, commits are run through conventional changelog to generate the changelog. Please adhere to the following guidelines when formatting your commit messages.
Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
The header is mandatory and the scope of the header is optional.
Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert:
, followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: This reverts commit <hash>
., where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.
Must be one of the following:
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- docs: Documentation only changes
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- test: Adding missing tests
- chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
The scope should indicate what is being changed. Generally, these should match package names. For example, http-core
, common
, ciscospark
, etc. Other than package names, tooling
tends to be the most common.
The subject contains succinct description of the change:
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
- don't capitalize first letter
- no dot (.) at the end
Just as in the subject the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
The footer should contain any information about Breaking changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit closes.
Breaking Changes should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE:
with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
Install dependencies:
# Install top-level dependencies
npm install
# Install dependencies for each module in ./packages and locally link unpublished modules as needed
npm run bootstrap
You'll need to create a file called .env
that defines, at a minimum:
CISCOSPARK_CLIENT_ID
CISCOSPARK_CLIENT_SECRET
CISCOSPARK_REDIRECT_URI
CISCOSPARK_SCOPE
You can get these values by registering a new integration on the developer portal.
Finally, to run all tests:
npm run grunt:concurrent -- test
And to run the tests for a specific package
PACKAGE=<package name> npm run grunt:package -- test
