You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/univention/python-udm-rest-api-client/issues.

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • The operating system name and version and the Python version where the Python UDM REST Client was used.

  • The UCS version of the server and installed apps (the output of univention-app info) to which the Python UDM REST Client connected.

  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.

  • Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

Fix Bugs

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Additionally look at bugs in the Univention Bugzilla in the product Components with component udm-rest-api-client: http://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=udm-rest-api-client&product=Components&resolution=

Implement Features

Look through the GitHub issues and Univention Bugzilla for features. Anything tagged with “enhancement” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

Python UDM REST Client could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Python UDM REST Client docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/univention/python-udm-rest-api-client/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.

  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.

  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up udm_rest_client for local development.

  1. Fork the python-udm-rest-api-client repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/python-udm-rest-api-client.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv:

    $ cd udm_rest_client/
    $ python3 -m venv venv
    $ . venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements_dev.txt -r requirements_test.txt
    $ make install
    

3.1 Install the OpenAPI client library using a UCS in a LXD container:

$ make pip-install-openapi-client

3.2 Or install it using your UCS server:

$ update_openapi_client --generator <docker|java> [--insecure] --username Administrator --password s3cr3t ucs.master.fqdn.or.ip
  1. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  2. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass the style checks and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ make lint
    $ make test
    $ make test-all
    

5.1. Install pre-commit hooks

$ pre-commit install

5.2 Fix format and coverage problems:

$ make format
$ make coverage-html
  1. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  2. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.

  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.

  3. Make sure style and coverage requirements are met (run make lint and tox).

  4. The pull request should work for Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9. Check https://travis-ci.org/dansan/udm_rest_client/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python3 -m pytest tests/test_base_http.py::test_session_base_dn

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
