Contributing to the MongoDB Ruby Driver

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the MongoDB Ruby driver.

We are building this software together and strongly encourage contributions from the community that are within the guidelines set forth below.

Bug Fixes and New Features

Before starting to write code, look for existing [tickets] (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY) or [create one] (https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa) for your bug, issue, or feature request. This helps the community avoid working on something that might not be of interest or which has already been addressed.

Environment

We highly suggest using RVM or [rbenv] (https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv) to set up Ruby development and testing environments. In this way, moving between and testing code for alternate Ruby versions (besides the one possibly included with your system) is simple. This practice is essential for ensuring the quality of the driver.

Pull Requests

Pull requests should be made against the master (development) branch and include relevant tests, if applicable. The driver follows the Git-Flow branching model where the traditional master branch is known as release and the master (default) branch is considered under development.

Tests should pass under all Ruby interpreters which the MongoDB Ruby driver currently supports (1.8.7, 1.9.3, JRuby 1.6.x and 1.7.x) and will be automatically tested.

The results of pull request testing will be appended to the request. If any tests do not pass, or relavant tests are not included the pull request will not be considered.

Clusters and Replica Sets

If your bug fix or enhancement deals with Cluster or Replica Set code, please run all relevant tests for those code subsets before issuing the request.

  • rake test:sc for sharded clusters
  • rake test:rs for replica sets

Cluster and Replica Set testing is currently not automatically performed so it is important they are run in a thorough fashion under all supported interpreters before a pull request is made.

Talk To Us

We love to hear from you. If you want to work on something or have questions / complaints please reach out to us by creating a [question] (https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10005&issuetype=6).
