Bug Reports

A bug is a demonstrable problem that is caused by slurmrestd-operator. Good bug reports make slurmrestd-operator more robust, so thank you for taking the time to report issues in the source code!

Guidelines for reporting bugs in slurmrestd-operator:

  1. Validate your testlet — ensure that your issue is not being caused by either a semantic or syntactic error in your testlet's code.

  2. Use the GitHub issue search — check if the issue you are encountering has already been reported by someone else.

  3. Check if the issue has already been fixed — try to reproduce your issue using the latest main in the slurmrestd-operator repository.

  4. Isolate the problem — the more pinpointed the issue is, the easier time the slurmrestd-operator developers will have fixing it.

A good bug report should not leave others needing to chase you for more information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What operating system are you experiencing the problem on? Have you had the same results on a different operating system? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these details will help the developers fix any potential bugs.

Feature Requests

All feature requests should be posted to GitHub Discussions and tagged as Type: Idea Bank. The maintainers of slurmrestd-operator already know the features they want to incorporate into slurmrestd-operator, but they are always open to new ideas and potential improvements. GitHub Discussions is the best place to post these types of requests because it allows for feedback from the entire community and does not bloat the issue tracker. Please note that not all feature requests will be incorporated into slurmrestd-operator. Also, feature requests posted on the issue tracker will be tagged as Type: Invalid and closed. Lastly, please note that spamming the maintainers to incorporate a feature you want into slurmrestd-operator will not improve its likelihood of being implemented; it may result in you receiving a temporary ban from the repository.

Pull Requests

Good pull requests — patches, improvements, new features — are a huge help. These pull requests should remain focused in scope and should not contain unrelated commits.

Ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing new features, refactoring code, incorporating a new test environment provider, etc.), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that slurmrestd-operator's developers might not want to merge into the project! For trivial things, or things that do not require a lot of your time, you can go ahead and make a pull request.

Adhering to the following process is the best way to get your work included in the project:

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

    # Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/slurmrestd-operator.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd slurmrestd-operator
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/omnivector-solutions/slurmrestd-operator.git

  2. If you cloned a while ago, pull the latest changes from the upstream slurmrestd-operator repository:

    git checkout main
git pull upstream main

  3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix:

    git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>

  4. Ensure that your changes pass all tests:

    tox run -e fmt
tox run -e lint
tox run -e unit
tox run -e integration

  5. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these git commit message guidelines or your code is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use Git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.

  6. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:

    git pull [--rebase] upstream main

  7. Push your topic branch up to your fork:

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  8. Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description against the main branch.
