Contributor License Agreements

Before we can accept your pull requests you'll need to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA):

  • If you are an individual writing original source code and you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA.
  • If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

You can sign these electronically (just scroll to the bottom). After that, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.

Setup

In order to use the google-cloud-error_reporting console and run the project's tests, there is a small amount of setup:

  1. Install Ruby. google-cloud-error_reporting requires Ruby 2.3+. You may choose to manage your Ruby and gem installations with RVM, rbenv, or chruby.

  2. Install Bundler.

   $ gem install bundler
  1. Install the top-level project dependencies.
   $ bundle install
  1. Install the Error Reporting dependencies.
   $ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
   $ bundle exec rake bundleupdate

Console

In order to run code interactively, you can automatically load google-cloud-error_reporting and its dependencies in IRB. This requires that your developer environment has already been configured by following the steps described in the Authentication Guide. An IRB console can be created with:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake console

Error Reporting Tests

Tests are very important part of google-cloud-error_reporting. All contributions should include tests that ensure the contributed code behaves as expected.

To run the unit tests, documentation tests, and code style checks together for a package:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake ci

To run the command above, plus all acceptance tests, use rake ci:acceptance or its handy alias, rake ci:a.

Error Reporting Unit Tests

The project uses the minitest library, including specs, mocks and minitest-autotest.

To run the Error Reporting unit tests:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake test

Error Reporting Documentation Tests

The project tests the code examples in the gem's YARD-based documentation.

The example testing functions in a way that is very similar to unit testing, and in fact the library providing it, yard-doctest, is based on the project's unit test library, minitest.

To run the Error Reporting documentation tests:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake doctest

If you add, remove or modify documentation examples when working on a pull request, you may need to update the setup for the tests. The stubs and mocks required to run the tests are located in support/doctest_helper.rb. Please note that much of the setup is matched by the title of the @example tag. If you alter an example's title, you may encounter breaking tests.

Error Reporting Acceptance Tests

The Error Reporting acceptance tests interact with the live service API. Follow the instructions in the Authentication guide for enabling the Error Reporting API. Occasionally, some API features may not yet be generally available, making it difficult for some contributors to successfully run the entire acceptance test suite. However, please ensure that you do successfully run acceptance tests for any code areas covered by your pull request.

To run the acceptance tests, first create and configure a project in the Google Developers Console, as described in the Authentication guide. Be sure to download the JSON KEY file. Make note of the PROJECT_ID and the KEYFILE location on your system.

Before you can run the Error Reporting acceptance tests, you must first create indexes used in the tests.

Running the Error Reporting acceptance tests

To run the Error Reporting acceptance tests:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake acceptance[\\{my-project-id},\\{/path/to/keyfile.json}]

Or, if you prefer you can store the values in the GCLOUD_TEST_PROJECT and GCLOUD_TEST_KEYFILE environment variables:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ export GCLOUD_TEST_PROJECT=\\{my-project-id}
$ export GCLOUD_TEST_KEYFILE=\\{/path/to/keyfile.json}
$ bundle exec rake acceptance

If you want to use a different project and credentials for acceptance tests, you can use the more specific ERROR_REPORTING_TEST_PROJECT and ERROR_REPORTING_TEST_KEYFILE environment variables:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ export ERROR_REPORTING_TEST_PROJECT=\\{my-project-id}
$ export ERROR_REPORTING_TEST_KEYFILE=\\{/path/to/keyfile.json}
$ bundle exec rake acceptance

Coding Style

Please follow the established coding style in the library. The style is is largely based on The Ruby Style Guide with a few exceptions based on seattle-style:

  • Avoid parenthesis when possible, including in method definitions.
  • Always use double quotes strings. (Option B)

You can check your code against these rules by running Rubocop like so:

$ cd google-cloud-error_reporting/
$ bundle exec rake rubocop
