Contributing

Spree Social is an open source project and we encourage contributions. Please see the contributors guidelines for more information before contributing.

In the spirit of free software, everyone is encouraged to help improve this project.

Here are some ways you can contribute:

  • by using prerelease versions
  • by reporting bugs
  • by suggesting new features
  • by writing translations
  • by writing or editing documentation
  • by writing specifications
  • by writing code (no patch is too small: fix typos, add comments, clean up inconsistent whitespace)
  • by refactoring code
  • by resolving issues
  • by reviewing patches

Filing an issue

When filing an issue on this extension, please first do these things:

  • Verify you can reproduce this issue in a brand new application.
  • Run through the steps to reproduce the issue again.

In the issue itself please provide:

  • A comprehensive list of steps to reproduce the issue.
  • What you're expecting to happen compared with what's actually happening.
  • The version of Spree and the version of Rails.
  • A list of all extensions.
  • Any relevant stack traces ("Full trace" preferred)
  • Your Gemfile

In 99% of cases, this information is enough to determine the cause and solution to the problem that is being described.

Any issue that is open for 14 days without actionable information or activity will be marked as "stalled" and then closed. Stalled issues can be re-opened if the information requested is provided.

Pull requests

We gladly accept pull requests to fix bugs and, in some circumstances, add new features to this extension.

Here's a quick guide:

  1. Fork the repo.

  2. Run the tests. We only take pull requests with passing tests, and it's great to know that you have a clean slate.

  3. Create new branch then make changes and add tests for your changes. Only refactoring and documentation changes require no new tests. If you are adding functionality or fixing a bug, we need tests!

  4. Push to your fork and submit a pull request. If the changes will apply cleanly to the latest stable branches and master branch, you will only need to submit one pull request.

At this point you're waiting on us. We may suggest some changes or improvements or alternatives.

Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted, taken straight from the Ruby on Rails guide:

  • Use Rails idioms and helpers.
  • Include tests that fail without your code, and pass with it.
  • Update the documentation, the surrounding one, examples elsewhere, guides, whatever is affected by your contribution.

TL;DR

  • Fork the repo
  • Clone your repo
  • Run bundle install
  • Run bundle exec rake test_app to create the test application in spec/dummy
  • Make your changes
  • Ensure specs pass by running bundle exec rspec spec
  • Ensure all syntax ok by running rubocop .
  • Submit your pull request

And in case we didn't emphasize it enough: we love tests!
