Contributing

There are many ways to contribute to the OneFuzz project: logging bugs, submitting pull requests, reporting issues, and creating suggestions.

Please read our project values.

Reporting Security Issues

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues. Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). See SECURITY.md for more information.

Before you start, file an issue

Please follow this simple rule to help us eliminate any unnecessary wasted effort & frustration, and ensure an efficient and effective use of everyone's time - yours, ours, and other community members':

👉 If you have a question, think you've discovered an issue, would like to propose a new feature, etc., then find/file an issue BEFORE starting work to fix/implement it.

Search existing issues first

Before filing a new issue, search existing open and closed issues first: This project is moving fast! It is likely someone else has found the problem you're seeing, and someone may be working on or have already contributed a fix!

If no existing item describes your issue/feature, great - please file a new issue:

File a new Issue

  • Don't know whether you're reporting an issue or requesting a feature? File an issue
  • Have a question that you don't see answered in docs, videos, etc.? File an issue
  • Want to know if we're planning on building a particular feature? File an issue
  • Got a great idea for a new feature? File an issue/request/idea
  • Found an existing issue that describes yours? Great - up-vote and add additional commentary / info / repro-steps / etc.

When you hit "New Issue", select the type of issue closest to what you want to report/ask/request.

Complete the template

Complete the information requested in the issue template, providing as much information as possible. The more information you provide, the more likely your issue/ask will be understood and implemented. Helpful information includes:

  • What tools and apps you're using (e.g. VS 2019, VSCode, etc.)
  • Don't assume we're experts in setting up YOUR environment and don't assume we are experts in <your distro/tool of choice>. Teach us to help you!
  • We LOVE detailed repro steps! What steps do we need to take to reproduce the issue? Assume we love to read repro steps. As much detail as you can stand is probably barely enough detail for us.
  • Prefer error message text where possible or screenshots of errors if text cannot be captured
  • We MUCH prefer text command-line script than screenshots of command-line script.

👉 If you don't have any additional info/context to add but would like to indicate that you're affected by the issue, upvote the original issue by clicking its [+😊] button and hitting 👍 (+1) icon. This way we can actually measure how impactful an issue is.

Contributing fixes / features

For those able & willing to help fix issues and/or implement features ...

To Spec or not to Spec

Some issues/features may be quick and simple to describe and understand. For such scenarios, once a team member has agreed with your approach, skip ahead to the section headed "Fork, Branch, and Create your PR", below.

Small issues that do not require a spec will be labelled Issue-Bug or Issue-Task.

However, some issues/features will require careful thought & formal design before implementation. For these scenarios, we'll request that a spec is written and the associated issue will be labeled Issue-Feature.

Specs help collaborators discuss different approaches to solve a problem, describe how the feature will behave, how the feature will impact the user, what happens if something goes wrong, etc. Driving towards agreement in a spec, before any code is written, often results in simpler code, and less wasted effort in the long run.

Specs will be managed in a very similar manner as code contributions so please follow the "Fork, Branch and Create your PR" below.

Writing / Contributing-to a Spec

To write/contribute to a spec: fork, branch and commit via PRs, as you would with any code changes.

Specs are written in markdown, stored under the \doc\spec folder and named [issue id] - [spec description].md.

👉 It is important to follow the spec templates and complete the requested information. The available spec templates will help ensure that specs contain the minimum information & decisions necessary to permit development to begin. In particular, specs require you to confirm that you've already discussed the issue/idea with the team in an issue and that you provide the issue ID for reference.

Team members will be happy to help review specs and guide them to completion.

Help Wanted

Once the team have approved an issue/spec, development can proceed. If no developers are immediately available, the spec can be parked ready for a developer to get started. Parked specs' issues will be labeled "Help Wanted". To find a list of development opportunities waiting for developer involvement, visit the Issues and filter on the Help-Wanted label.

Development

Fork, Clone, Branch and Create your PR

Once you've discussed your proposed feature/fix/etc. with a team member, and you've agreed an approach or a spec has been written and approved, it's time to start development:

  1. Fork the repo if you haven't already
  2. Clone your fork locally
  3. Create & push a feature branch
  4. Create a Draft Pull Request (PR)
  5. Work on your changes
  6. Try to follow the existing style of the related code as closely as possible.

Python Specific

  1. Provide as much context in typing variables as possible. Example: Dict[UUID, int] is better than Any.
  2. For a complex set of data, consider using objects (such as pydantic typed data classes) rather than nested Dicts, Tuples, or Lists.

Local Build Prerequisites

OneFuzz is built with multiple components and runs on Linux and Windows:

While local builds are possible for every component of the system, new contributors may find automatic builds for PRs beneficial.

Getting the sources

First, fork the OneFuzz repository so that you can make a pull request. Then, clone your fork locally:

git clone https://github.com/<<<your-github-account>>>/onefuzz.git

Occasionally you will want to merge changes in the upstream repository (the official code repo) with your fork.

cd onefuzz
git checkout main
git pull https://github.com/microsoft/onefuzz.git main

Manage any merge conflicts, commit them, and then push them to your fork.

👉 The microsoft/onefuzz repository contains GitHub Actions that automatically build OneFuzz as well as triage components during our development. As you may not want these running on your fork, you can disable Actions for your fork by via https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/onefuzz/settings/actions.

Deploying from a build

These instructions assume a working python 3.7 (or later) install and a logged-in Azure CLI session.

  1. Download the release-artifacts from your CICD build.
  2. Create a new directory for the release artifacts
  3. Unzip the release-artifacts.zip into this new directory
  4. Unzip the resulting zip file that starts with onefuzz-deployment
  5. Setup a python virtual environment. example: python3 -m venv onefuzz-deploy-venv
  6. Activate the virtual environment. example: . onefuzz-deploy-venv/bin/activate
  7. Install python-wheel. example: pip install wheel
  8. Install the deployment prerequisites. Example: pip install -r requirements.txt
  9. Run the deployment script: Example: python deploy.py ${REGION} ${GROUP} ${INSTANCE} ${OWNER}

Code Review

When you'd like the team to take a look, (even if the work is not yet fully-complete), mark the PR as 'Ready For Review' so that the team can review your work and provide comments, suggestions, and request changes. It may take several cycles, but the end result will be solid, testable, conformant code that is safe for us to merge.

We will treat community PR's with the same level of scrutiny and rigor as commits submitted by our internal team.

Merge

Once your code has been reviewed and approved by the requisite number of team members, it will be merged into the master branch. Once merged, your PR will be automatically closed.

Thank you

Thank you in advance for your contribution!
