How to contribute to Jinja
==========================
Thank you for considering contributing to Jinja!
Support questions
-----------------
Please, don't use the issue tracker for this. The issue tracker is a
tool to address bugs and feature requests in Jinja itself. Use one of
the following resources for questions about using Jinja or issues with
your own code:
- The ``#get-help`` channel on our Discord chat:
https://discord.gg/t6rrQZH
- The mailing list flask@python.org for long term discussion or larger
issues.
- Ask on `Stack Overflow`_. Search with Google first using:
``site:stackoverflow.com jinja {search term, exception message, etc.}``
.. _Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jinja?sort=linked
Reporting issues
----------------
Include the following information in your post:
- Describe what you expected to happen.
- If possible, include a `minimal reproducible example`_ to help us
identify the issue. This also helps check that the issue is not with
your own code.
- Describe what actually happened. Include the full traceback if there
was an exception.
- List your Python and Jinja versions. If possible, check if this
issue is already fixed in the latest releases or the latest code in
the repository.
.. _minimal reproducible example: https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example
Submitting patches
------------------
If there is not an open issue for what you want to submit, prefer
opening one for discussion before working on a PR. You can work on any
issue that doesn't have an open PR linked to it or a maintainer assigned
to it. These show up in the sidebar. No need to ask if you can work on
an issue that interests you.
Include the following in your patch:
- Use `Black`_ to format your code. This and other tools will run
automatically if you install `pre-commit`_ using the instructions
below.
- Include tests if your patch adds or changes code. Make sure the test
fails without your patch.
- Update any relevant docs pages and docstrings. Docs pages and
docstrings should be wrapped at 72 characters.
- Add an entry in ``CHANGES.rst``. Use the same style as other
entries. Also include ``.. versionchanged::`` inline changelogs in
relevant docstrings.

First time setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Download and install the `latest version of git`_.
- Configure git with your `username`_ and `email`_.
.. code-block:: text
$ git config --global user.name 'your name'
$ git config --global user.email 'your email'
- Make sure you have a `GitHub account`_.
- Fork Jinja to your GitHub account by clicking the `Fork`_ button.
- `Clone`_ the main repository locally.
.. code-block:: text
$ git clone https://github.com/pallets/jinja
$ cd jinja
- Add your fork as a remote to push your work to. Replace
``{username}`` with your username. This names the remote "fork", the
default Pallets remote is "origin".
.. code-block:: text
git remote add fork https://github.com/{username}/jinja
- Create a virtualenv.
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
On Windows, activating is different.
.. code-block:: text
> env\Scripts\activate
- Install Jinja in editable mode with development dependencies.
.. code-block:: text
$ pip install -e . -r requirements/dev.txt
- Install the pre-commit hooks.
.. code-block:: text
$ pre-commit install
.. _latest version of git: https://git-scm.com/downloads
.. _username: https://help.github.com/en/articles/setting-your-username-in-git
.. _email: https://help.github.com/en/articles/setting-your-commit-email-address-in-git
.. _GitHub account: https://github.com/join
.. _Fork: https://github.com/pallets/jinja/fork
.. _Clone: https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo#step-2-create-a-local-clone-of-your-fork
Start coding
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Create a branch to identify the issue you would like to work on. If
you're submitting a bug or documentation fix, branch off of the
latest ".x" branch.
.. code-block:: text
$ git fetch origin
$ git checkout -b your-branch-name origin/1.1.x
If you're submitting a feature addition or change, branch off of the
"master" branch.
.. code-block:: text
$ git fetch origin
$ git checkout -b your-branch-name origin/master
- Using your favorite editor, make your changes,
`committing as you go`_.
- Include tests that cover any code changes you make. Make sure the
test fails without your patch. Run the tests as described below.
- Push your commits to your fork on GitHub and
`create a pull request`_. Link to the issue being addressed with
``fixes #123`` in the pull request.
.. code-block:: text
$ git push --set-upstream fork your-branch-name
.. _committing as you go: https://dont-be-afraid-to-commit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/git/commandlinegit.html#commit-your-changes
.. _create a pull request: https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-pull-request
Running the tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the basic test suite with pytest.
.. code-block:: text
$ pytest
This runs the tests for the current environment, which is usually
sufficient. CI will run the full suite when you submit your pull
request. You can run the full test suite with tox if you don't want to
wait.
.. code-block:: text
$ tox
Running test coverage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generating a report of lines that do not have test coverage can indicate
where to start contributing. Run ``pytest`` using ``coverage`` and
generate a report.
.. code-block:: text
$ pip install coverage
$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage html
Open ``htmlcov/index.html`` in your browser to explore the report.
Read more about `coverage <https://coverage.readthedocs.io>`__.
Building the docs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Build the docs in the ``docs`` directory using Sphinx.
.. code-block:: text
$ cd docs
$ make html
Open ``_build/html/index.html`` in your browser to view the docs.
Read more about `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/>`__.
