Contributing

Slack: testcontainers-c on slacktestcontainers.org Stability: Experimental

Contributions are welcome! For any feedback and suggestions, use GitHub Issues.

Community Slack

We use the #testcontainers-c channel on Testcontainers Slack. Please join this channel if you want to discuss contributions/strategy/whatever. GitHub Issues are recommended for most of the proposals and bug reports though.

Code patches

To propose a code patch, just submit a pull request to the repository. No need to create a GitHub issue if you want to suggest a simple patch, pull requests are more than enough for it.

Building the project

You need CMake 3.16.3 and Golang 1.19+. At the moment there are not so many configuration flags, so the build is straightforward:

cmake .
cmake --build .
ctest --output-on-failure

To skip the demo builds and tests, use the SKIP_DEMOS variable:

cmake -DSKIP_DEMOS=true .

Codestyle

Public APIs

  • snake_case is used to name methods
  • tc_ is used as a prefix for all exported Testcontainers functions
  • When possible, we try to avoid special Golang types in public API and try to expose wrapper types
  • const is important for users, and please add it to your arguments when possible. There is no Const in Golang, so some typedef injection is needed when importing CGo
