Contributing

Many thanks for your interest in rust-fitsio. I appreciate any suggestions or help!

Local development setup

Either follow the instructions in the README to support installing locally, otherwise see the Docker instructions.

Docker

We supply a Dockerfile which sets up a linux environment that has all packages required for development (i.e. it should be able to run ./bin/test -t all as the CI tests do). For development on non-Linux platforms this may be more convenient.

# change directory into the rust-fitsio root directory
docker build -t <tag> .
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/project <tag> bash

PR checklist

Before submitting a completed PR, make sure the following items have been addressed:

  • ensure all tests pass - new features require at least one test to demonstrate the behaviour and check for regressions. Changed code must be reflected in the existing tests.
  • update the documentation - make sure the documentation at the top of src/lib.rs is up to date and in sync with the code itself. The previous item should help with the code portions of the documentation.
  • update the changelog - try to keep with the existing format, and add any additions, changes or removals to the upstream section.
  • format the code - make sure the code has been formatted by rustfmt before submitting. I have a git pre-push hook which handles this for me.
  • update the features tracking issue - if relevant, update the features tracking issue
  • update the full example - if new features have been added, or changes made, update the full_example.rs example
