Adding new features

Got a great new feature you'd like to add? Great! First let's discuss it either on the #circuits IRC Channel or create a new Discussion Issue.

Once we're all on the same page and we've nutted down the design and requirements together let's get you hacking and take ownership of the new feature!

$ git clone git@github.com:myuser/circuits.git
  • Create a new feature branch:
$ git checkout -b my-feature master
  • Hack on your feature with your favorite editor or IDE!
  • Commit and Push your changes up:
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "my fancy new feature. Closes #xx"
$ git push -u origin my-feature

That's it! Six easy steps to contributing a new feature!

Generally we'll respond pretty quickly to new issues, pull requests and general discussions on IRC. So come and join us!

Reporting Bugs

Found a bug? Great! We wants to help fix it!

When describing your bug report; please be concise and as detailed as you can so we can easily work out what the problem is. It's also very helpful if you are able to provide a test case that repeatedly demonstrates the bug at hand:

Example:

from circuits import Event, Component


class test(Event):
    """test Event"""


class App(Component):

	message = None

    def started(self):
		self.message = "Hello World!"
		self.stop()


def test():
	App().run()

	assert app.message == "Hello World!"

Obviously this test would pass but this is ideally what we'd like to see bug reports in the form of; a reliable, repeatable way of demonstrating the bug.

If you don't feel comfortable writing a test case; a good description is enough! (We'll take care of the hard work of ensuring the bug never occurs again!)
