Contributing

So you want to contribute to uMap? Great news 🙌

We've put together this document so you have a brief overview of how things work. You can help on different areas: translation, bug triage, documentation and development.

Translating

uMap is translated to more than 50 languages! The translation is managed through Transifex. You will need an account to get started, and then you'll be able to translate easily.

Bug Triage

You are very welcome to help us triage uMap issues. Don't hesitate to help other users by answering questions, give your point of view in discussions and just report bugs!

Reporting a bug

If you've encountered a bug, don't hesitate to tell us about it. The best way to do this is by opening a ticket on the bug tracker. But please, first, have a look around to see if other users already reported something 😅

Hacking on the code

Following the installation instructions should get you started to hack on the code.

Installing dev dependencies

To be sure to install all the dev dependencies, and have everything working locally.

make develop

Hack!

You can now do your changes in a specific branch, and when you're ready you can open a pull-request for us to review.

Run tests

Multiple tests suites are in use in the project.

Test suite Location Command
Python unit tests umap/tests/ pytest . --ignore umap/tests/integration
Javascript unit tests umap/static/test make testjs
Integration tests umap/tests/integration pytest umap/tests/integration

All the tests are run when you're creating a pull request, to avoid regressions.

Merging rules

Pull requests need to be accepted by one maintainer of the project. Please be patient, we try to do our best, but it sometimes takes time.

Update the translations

Install needed tools:

apt install gettext transifex-client

Pull the translations from transifex website:

tx pull -f

Then you will need to update binary files with command:

make compilemessages

Done. You can now review and commit modified/added files.
