Developers

This section is intended for developers who contribute to VA-Spec-Python.

Installing for development

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.10
  • Note: Python 3.12 is required for developers contributing to VA-Spec-Python

Fork the repo at https://github.com/ga4gh/va-spec-python/.

Install development dependencies and pre-commit:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_ID/va-spec-python.git
cd va-spec-python
make devready
source venv/3.12/bin/activate
pre-commit install

Check style with ruff:

make format; make lint

Submodules

va-spec-python embeds va-spec as a submodule, only for testing purposes. When checking out va-spec-python and switching branches, it is important to make sure that the submodule tracks va-spec-python correctly. The recommended way to do this is git config --global submodule.recurse true. If you don't set submodule.recurse, developers and reviewers must be extremely careful to not accidentally upgrade or downgrade schemas with respect to va-spec-python.

If you already cloned the repo, but forgot to include --recurse-submodules you can run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Testing

To run tests:

make test

Security Note (from the GA4GH Security Team)

A stand-alone security review has been performed on the specification itself. This implementation is offered as-is, and without any security guarantees. It will need an independent security review before it can be considered ready for use in security-critical applications. If you integrate this code into your application it is AT YOUR OWN RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY to arrange for a security audit.
