Hey @ubongab that's great! I see you've already found a section to help with :)

Good luck with issue #17!

Hi @Milind220 Is this an active community? I want to begin with open source projects in a fun community

[Milind220]

@iGotAdigBick Yes! We're a small but growing community of active contributors! New features are being added to Ozone every day!

Hi Milind220,

I am keen to contribute and join this community. I am relatively new to contributing to open source projects. I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md which really helped. I have forked the repository and have it set up in VS Code. Before I start on some of the beginners issues, i thought I would run the units test to check i have a clean starting point. I had a couple of failures which I would like to ask about, it seems to be a "vcr.errors.CannotOverwriteExistingCassetteException", which having had a read, seems to be a concurrency issue with the Cassettes. I am assuming this is likely to be an issue with my environment. Seems like it will be a bit of newbie issue/question, is here the best place to discuss it?

[Milind220]

Hey @Miller2014! We'd love to have you contribute to Ozone!

Haha oh yeah the error you're seeing is due to the fact that we recently fixed several tests, and the cassettes that the tests use to get mock API responses haven't been re recorded yet. We're going to re record and commit those soon, at which point everything should pass.

As of now, just to try out the tests, you can try the following:

1. Create a file called .env in the root directory for your Ozone clone. Inside it add the line WAQI_TOKEN=YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN
2. Run pytest --disable-recording. This tells pytest to use a live connection to the WAQI API to conduct the tests, and uses your API token to do this.

Hope you enjoy using and contributing to Ozone! Feel free to ask if you're not sure about anything :)

[Miller2014]

Thanks @Milind220. I have done as you suggested, which works. I have one failure which I am looking into. I will check the current issues and raise an issue if I think it is genuine.

I look forward to getting more involved and hopefully pick up some tasks/issues.

@Miller2014 Excellent! Yesterday I fixed one faulty test and re recorded the cassettes, so you could check if that fixed the failure that you're seeing :)

[Miller2014]

Thanks @Milind220, yes I see you have fixed the issues. I will start looking at the beginner tasks/issues.
