Contributing
************

Thank you for considering contributing to Modules!

Support questions
=================

Please use the modules-interest mailing list for questions. Do not use
the issue tracker for this.

Asking for new features
=======================

Please submit your new feature wishes first to the modules-interest
mailing list. Discussion will help to clarify your needs and sometimes
the wanted feature may already be available.

Reporting issues
================

* Describe what you expected to happen.

* If possible, include a minimal, complete, and verifiable example
  to help us identify the issue.

* Describe what actually happened. Run the "module" command in "--
  debug" mode and include all the debug output obtained in your
  report.

* Provide the current configuration and state of your Modules
  installation by running the "module config --dump-state" command.

* Provide the name and content of the modulefiles you try to
  manipulate.

Submitting patches
==================

* Whether your patch is supposed to solve a bug or add a new
  feature, please include tests. In case of a bug, explain clearly
  under which circumstances it happens and make sure the test fails
  without your patch.

* If you are not yet familiar with the "git" command and GitHub,
  please read the don't be afraid to commit tutorial.

Start coding
------------

* Create a branch to identify the issue or feature you would like to
  work on

* Using your favorite editor, make your changes, committing as you
  go.

* Comply to the coding conventions of this project.

* Include tests that cover any code changes you make. Make sure the
  test fails without your patch.

* Run the tests and verify coverage.

* Push your commits to GitHub and create a pull request.

Running the tests
-----------------

Run the basic test suite with:

make test

This only runs the tests for the current environment. Travis-CI and
AppVeyor will run the full suite when you submit your pull request.

Running test coverage
---------------------

Generating a report of lines that do not have test coverage can
indicate where to start contributing or what your tests should cover
for the code changes you submit.

Run "make test COVERAGE=y" which will automatically setup the Nagelfar
Tcl code coverage tool in your "modules" development directory. Then
the full testsuite will be run in coverage mode and a "modulecmd-
test.tcl_m" annotated script will be produced:

make test COVERAGE=y
   # then open modulecmd-test.tcl_m and look for ';# Not covered' lines

Building the docs
-----------------

Build the docs in the "doc" directory using Sphinx:

cd doc
   make html

Open "_build/html/index.html" in your browser to view the docs.
