We welcome pull requests from everyone. We do expect everyone to adhere to the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines.
If you're trying to figure out what to work on, here are some places to find suitable projects:
- Good first bugs: these are scoped to make it easy for first-time contributors to get their feet wet with Taskcluster code.
- Mentored bugs: these are slightly more involved projects that may require insight or guidance from someone on the Taskcluster team.
- Full list of open issues: everything else
If the project you're interested in working on isn't covered by a bug or issue, or you're unsure about how to proceed on an existing issue, it's a good idea to talk to someone on the Taskcluster team before you go too far down a particular path. You can find us in the #taskcluster channel on Mozilla's IRC server to discuss. You can also simply add a comment to the issue or bug.
Once you've found an issue to work on and written a patch, submit a pull request. Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted:
- Follow our best practices.
- This includes writing or updating tests.
- Write a good commit message.
JSON-e is implemented in several languages. All implementations should behave
identically, and the test suite subjects each implementation to the same
requirements (in specification.yml). Developing JSON-e will usually require
you to make changes in all implementations.
The JavaScript implementation is located in ./js
You should run yarn install to install the required packages for JSON-e's execution and development.
To run the tests use yarn test
The Python implementation is located in ./py.
To test this implementation, install and run tox, which will test on all supported Python versions.
If you have fewer Python versions installed, that's OK -- when you make a PR it will run for all versions.
The Go implementation is located in internal/, with a small stub in jsone.go in the root directory.
This follows the usual GoModules form, so running go test ./... in the root dir will run the tests.
The Rust implementation is in rs/.
Within that directory, you will find a Cargo.toml and the usual Rust development tools apply: cargo test, cargo build, and so on.
The demo website is a Neutrino app hosted in
demo/. Follow the usual Neutrino development process (yarn install && yarn start) there.
The resulting application embeds and enriches the README file.
When making a pull request with your changes, create a new file in
newsfragments/ named after the issue or bug you are working on, with a suffix
of .bugfix, .feature, or (for docs-only changes) .doc. The content of
this file should be in reStructuredText format. Keep it to a simple sentence,
and you should be fine!
For example, newsfragments/201.bugfix might contain Fixed the precedence of the || and 'in' operators.
