The OpenAndroidInstaller "should to X" or is behaving weird / unintuitively / not doing what you want?
If the OpenAndroidInstaller is behaving unintuitively, feels weird, doesn't do something you think it should or similar, please open an issue if there doesn't exist one yet.
We cannot guarantee that we can implement every feature you want, but we are always happy to discuss them and try to figure out how they might fit into the project.
If you cannot figure out how to do something with the OpenAndroidInstaller you should be able to do, we consider this a bug.
If the documentation is unintuitive, we consider this a bug.
If the documentation is missing something, we consider this a bug.
If the documentation does not make you happy, we consider this a bug.
If you want to write code or documentation, please take a look at our issues. We try to make them somewhat clear, but if you do not understand what an issue means, please ask us. We sometimes tag issues as "good first issue", these could be interesting if this is you first contribution.
If you have an issue that you understand and want to work on, feel free to do so. If you leave a short message in the issue thread, we can make sure that we do not have multiple people working on the same issue.
Once you have a fix, open a new pull request. We will try to review your pull request as quick as possible.
To make sure we can merge it quickly, you can do a few things to help us:
- Please make sure that the PR description includes all information we need to review this pull request (for example the issue this fixes, how it works).
- Make sure that our linters, style checkers and tests pass. You can run them by running
make test. - Make sure that branch can be merged into the dev branch
If you want to write code for something that is not already described in an issue, please open an issue first and communicate that you are working on it. Especially if it's more than a small bugfix for an obvious bug. We might have some opinions on whether / how your feature should be included into the OpenAndroidInstaller.
If you do not open an issue first, we might have a lot of review comments that need to be addressed before we can merge your pull request or even have to close the PR entirely because we do not want to include the feature.
Opening an issue first also allows other users to comment on it, often leading to a better result.
If you want to write tests & documentation for existing features / behavior, always feel free to do so and open a pull request. Here, we would also appreciate if you opened an issue first to avoid duplicate work. If you have any questions while doing to, please open an issue or write us an email.
