Contributing to node-saucelabs

Thank you for your interest in node-saucelabs. Your contributions are highly welcome.

There are multiple ways of getting involved:

Below are a few guidelines we would like you to follow. If you need help, please reach out to us by opening an issue.

Report a bug

Reporting bugs is one of the best ways to contribute. Before creating a bug report, please check that an issue reporting the same problem does not already exist. If there is such an issue, you may add your information as a comment.

To report a new bug you should open an issue that summarizes the bug and set the label to "bug".

If you want to provide a fix along with your bug report: That is great! In this case please send us a pull request as described in section Contribute Code.

Suggest a feature

To request a new feature you should open an issue and summarize the desired functionality and its use case. Set the issue label to "feature".

Contribute code

This is an outline of what the workflow for code contributions looks like

  • Check the list of open issues. Either assign an existing issue to yourself, or create a new one that you would like work on and discuss your ideas and use cases.

It is always best to discuss your plans beforehand, to ensure that your contribution is in line with our goals.

  • Fork the repository on GitHub
  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work. This is usually master.
  • Open a new pull request, label it work in progress and outline what you will be contributing
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Make sure you sign-off on your commits git commit -s -m "adding X to change Y"
  • Write good commit messages (see below).
  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • As you push your changes, update the pull request with new infomation and tasks as you complete them
  • Project maintainers might comment on your work as you progress
  • When you are done, remove the work in progess label and ping the maintainers for a review
  • Your pull request must receive a 👍 from two maintainers

Prerequisites

To build and work on this project you need to install:

Check out code

To get the code base, have git installed and run:

$ git clone git@github.com:saucelabs/node-saucelabs.git

then ensure to install all project dependencies:

$ cd node-saucelabs
$ npm install

Build Project

To compile all TypeScript files, run:

$ npm run build

In order to automatically re-compile the files when files change, you can use the watch command:

$ npm run watch

Test Project

To test the project, run:

$ npm run test

TypeScript Type Definitions

The type definitions for this package are automatically generated from the OpenAPI specs in /apis as /build/index.d.ts. We use a node script to automate this when you build the project.

Commit messages

Your commit messages ideally can answer two questions: what changed and why. The subject line should feature the “what” and the body of the commit should describe the “why”.

When creating a pull request, its description should reference the corresponding issue id.

Sign your work / Developer certificate of origin

All contributions (including pull requests) must agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) version 1.1. This is exactly the same one created and used by the Linux kernel developers and posted on http://developercertificate.org/. This is a developer's certification that he or she has the right to submit the patch for inclusion into the project. Simply submitting a contribution implies this agreement, however, please include a "Signed-off-by" tag in every patch (this tag is a conventional way to confirm that you agree to the DCO) - you can automate this with a Git hook

git commit -s -m "adding X to change Y"

Release Project

Contributor with push access to this repo can at any time make a release. To do so, just trigger the GitHub Action that releases the package. Ensure you pick the correct release type by following the semantic versioning principle.

Have fun, and happy hacking!

Thanks for your contributions!
